5 stars — It takes a lot to get full 5 stars from me nowadays. 4.5 rounded up? Not as much, but full 5 stars? Yeah…I’m a bit stingy with those. But this book. This book just kind of burrowed into my heart and stayed there. It’s the kind of book that had me thinking […]
4.5 stars — Wow. I mean, I was just freaking sucked into this book from start to finish. OK, OK, I will admit that at the end I became impatient, because I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, and I would skip ahead a few pages…we all knew the cliffhanger was coming. But […]
4 stars — I’m not always a big fan of enemies to lovers, but this one worked out okay for me. I think part of it is that there wasn’t any genuine hostility, they just enjoyed being rivals and giving each other shit. So there was a lot of little taunts and jabs, but it never […]
4.5 stars — This one had me laughing and swooning, and just left me really happy in the end. And most of that is due to Lavin Saint. Lavin was so perfectly imperfect. I didn’t even know I needed this book boy until he showed up on my Kindle. He had all these qualities that […]
4 stars — I started this one late at night, and I had a HELL of a time putting it down, I was definitely compelled by the story and characters! I feel like there were pieces of this story that shined brilliantly, but also some bits that felt somewhat disjointed near the end… It was […]
OVERALL: 3.75 stars — As with all anthologies, there’s going to be ones that connect, and ones that don’t (because as readers, we all gravitate towards different things). This one was fairly solid though. There were 2 that I almost DNF’d, but pushed through and was happy I did (even if I still didn’t enjoy […]
4 stars — Oh those Brooklyn Bruisers…how I missed them. Jason and Heidi were both so adorable and unique. It was odd reading about a hero who was so guy-y, so unapologetic about being bossy and who loved being in charge, and just…well guy-y. But at the same time Jason was SUPER sweet, kind, thoughtful, […]
4 stars — This whole series has been hard for me to read. The thing is, Ms. Scott is an amazing writer…that is not in question. But I’ve found that I guess I’m not that big a fan of somewhat more angsty reads. I don’t mean like teen angst shit (though the first book had […]
3.5 stars — I was really excited about this book after reading the prequel story “Christmas Interference” in the Hockey Holidays anthology. I experienced a lot of feels in that short story, and I connected with both Shane and Chloe. But the Shane and Chloe at the end of that story were a LONG WAYS […]
3.5 stars — This was a very hard book to read at times…one that brought out a lot of emotions for me. LOTS of feels for sure (some “trying to be quiet because my husband’s sleeping” bawling too), but also frustration. Teenagers are SO FRUSTRATING!! Which basically means that Nicole was very authentic to me. […]
