2 stars — Wow. The more I go back and read these old Harlequins, the more I notice just how toxic a lot of them are. Like, this one is chock full of a toxic hero that basically isolates his wife out of fear, and once she realizes it, she’s just like “awww, that changes […]
4.5 stars — This one started off solid, and I definitely enjoyed the wildness that was their night in Vegas. Things got a little sticky after that for a bit, but I was still enjoying myself. But at a certain point about halfway through the book it just really shot up, and I loved the […]
3.5 stars — It was definitely cute, but it felt like what it was: a bonus novella to top off a series. I wasn’t expecting the prologue and epilogues, but I thought they worked okay as a way to finally introduce Aubrey and Landon’s story. Aubrey was pretty awesome. I appreciated how smart she was […]
4 stars — This was a solid romance, if a bit short. I think it didn’t hurt that I really enjoyed both narrators. This is my second time listening to Mr. Snow, and I just really like his voice. Both narrators were fantastic with pacing, voices and emotions, they made it so easy to listen. […]
4.5 stars — This one just settled in more strongly for me! There was definitely a lot of contention between the characters, but I wouldn’t call it enemies to lovers necessarily. I think I could just see how much Easton and Gemma wanted one another, so I was rooting for them. At first I wasn’t […]
3.5 stars — Well, it wasn’t as bad as my other rereads of Ms. Marinelli’s books, but there’s still this super bad behavior from the heroes that’s just a bit disappointing. The saving grace in this one is that Levander has a truly horrendous upbringing to excuse his lack of emotional intelligence. Millie was pretty […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — OK, I have generally always loved Lynne Graham books…there are always exceptions to the rule, but I know I can gamble on her books and *usually* come out a winner. This was no exception and reminded me why Ms. Graham takes the “Presents” genre and goes with it without the […]
4.5 stars — Well colour me surprised!! I never would have guessed that Sofia’s book would challenge Willa/Jackson’s for top spot! And I genuinely don’t know if I could pick, I enjoyed them both for so many reasons. I really love the idea of taking a character that romance readers have been taught to dislike, […]
2.5 stars — I think I’m going to have to just dump the rest of Ms. Marinelli’s books. She used to be a favourite of mine, but what I’ve noticed is that they start strong and get me really excited…and then the second half gets worse and worse until I’m a cranky motherfucker by the […]
4 stars — I love it when characters are inherently good, they just need a little more growth along the way. The narrators were solid. I’ve enjoyed Ms. Mitchell before, and did in this one as well. She had a great voice for Charlie, really expressed her mix of exuberance, petulance, and shyness…basically I was […]
