Spring Fling by Various Authors

Spring Fling by Various Authors

OVERALL: 3.5 stars — Not bad for an anthology.  I always expect very mixed results, and I got that.  There were none I hated, so bonus!  My faves were definitely Cake by the Ocean by Cambria Hebert and Falling from Gravity by K.K. Allen. My Best Friend’s Honeymoon by Grahame Claire 2.75 stars — I […]

Fumbled by Alexa Martin

3.5 stars — Another book that brought me a lot of joy, but again…had a few tiny moments that made me cringe.  And I will admit that reading this one directly following reading book 1, I did notice some similarities of jokes on occasion…not often, but there was at least one memorable instance. Let’s get […]

4 stars — This one had me all kinds of entertained, but was balanced by some actions that confused me.  Maybe it’s even a 3.5 stars, but whatever, I’m going to stick to my gut. I will admit, I had a love-confused relationship with Marlee. She would make me LAUGH AND LAUGH at her antics, […]

Eyes on Me by Rachel Harris

Eyes on Me by Rachel Harris

5 stars — Oh dude, this one just hit ALL the right buttons for me.  Dancing?  Check.  Nerdy heroine?  Check.  Sweet hero?  Check.  SOLD! to Lenore!!! OK, seriously though.  It took me a bit to warm up to Lily, but once I did…oh wow, I just thought she was sassy and hilarious and conflicted and […]

Dr. Strange Beard by Penny Reid

Dr. Strange Beard by Penny Reid

4 stars — This one was an up and down ride that I wasn’t anticipating!  I totally thought it would be a slam dunk, because hello, it’s Roscoe.  But there was a lot to Roscoe’s story, and it took me longer than I expected to settle in. Honestly, it mostly took me a long time […]

False 9 by Megan Erickson

False 9 by Megan Erickson

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 […]

Mixtape: A Love Song Anthology by Various Authors

Mixtape: A Love Song Anthology by Various Authors

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 […]
