Mine Till Midnight by Lisa Kleypas

Mine Till Midnight by Lisa Kleypas

4 stars — Man I love Ms. Kleypas.  Her historicals are always just so easy for me to read and fall in love with the characters.  I mean, yes, I love some more than others.  But this one definitely hit the right buttons for me. I remember being extremely intrigued by Cam Rohan in the […]

The True Love Experiment by Christina Lauren

The True Love Experiment by Christina Lauren

4.5 stars — I’m not sure what I was expecting from Fizzy’s book, but this wasn’t it…in the BEST possible way. Fizzy was delightfully exuberant, unapologetically herself, totally sex positive, and yet lost in such a unique way.  I’m sure I’ve read a heroine like her, but trust me when I say it’s rare.  I […]

Kiss Her Once for Me by Alison Cochrun

Kiss Her Once for Me by Alison Cochrun

4.5 stars — This one had so many unbelievably cute moments in it, and it was balanced perfectly by depth of character, and all those challenges so many of us deal with as adults. I loved how unique and REAL both of our MCs were.  They weren’t perfect cookie cutter romance heroines, they were so […]

Love and Other Flight Delays by Denise Williams

Love and Other Flight Delays by Denise Williams

4.5 stars — I actually read these novellas totally out of order and finished this one last, but that didn’t impact my enjoyment at all!  I wasn’t sure what I was going to get with these two characters, but what I got was freaking adorable.  I loved the crushes, and the tentativeness, and the blushes, […]

Do You Take This Man by Denise Williams

Do You Take This Man by Denise Williams

4 stars — I liked this one more than I was expecting to, especially after having read a few of the lower reviews and assuming I would feel similarly…but maybe because I lowered my expectations, it reverse psychology’d me?  I don’t know, but I’ll take it. Honestly, breaking this book down, I really shouldn’t have […]

Role Playing by Cathy Yardley

Role Playing by Cathy Yardley

4.5 stars — I kind of avoided this book b/c I was afraid it wouldn’t live up to my expectations, but the funny thing is that my expectations were kind of wrong in some ways, and it took me to places I wasn’t expecting but that seriously delighted me.  So the lesson is: stop procrastinating […]

Awkward Love by Riley Hart

Awkward Love by Riley Hart

4.5 stars — OK, this one was absolutely fucking adorable, and I loved it from start to finish. Jameson was so cute and awkward and nerdy, he was just delightful.  He was also brilliant, thoughtful, and caring. Honestly?  Will was the surprise hero for me.  He had that facade of cockiness, just like his friend […]

Death’s Door by April White

Death’s Door by April White

4 stars — I just love how Ms. White packs so much into her books.  I honestly feel like my favourite part is reading the Author’s Note at the end and finding out which elements were based in fact and where she took liberties to make it work in this world. I have read the […]

Stupid Love by Riley Hart

Stupid Love by Riley Hart

4.5 stars — This one started out cute, but I also wasn’t necessarily connecting with their bantering as well as I’d hoped…it was a 3.5 star type book.  But about half way through this book totally skyrocketed into 5 star territory for me, and I loved the ending!  So I settled on something in between. […]
