4.5 stars — This is another review that I left for like a month with only a few notes, so it’s going to be disjointed and lacking. Heck, at this point I don’t even remember if I’d wanted to round up or down! :S I think it was down, but honestly I need to get […]
3 stars — I don’t know, there was nothing inherently wrong with this book, I just had a hard time staying focused, and I didn’t really connect that strongly with Cam or Alex. And characters are a huge part of why I fall in love with books, so that’s a bummer for me. It felt […]
3.5 stars — This was one of those ones where I felt a bit conflicted. I was drawn right into this story, and after having been a bit burned out, I was so excited to be pulled into reading again. But our heroes, particularly Miles, were really volatile characters, and occasionally that made me uncomfortable. […]
4.5 stars — This was definitely my favourite of the Rusk University series!! Mateo was just as adorable as I was expecting…and he was covering such a big hurt, my heart felt for him. Wish the fact he was hispanic had played into it somehow…never really knew much about him outside of Lina…except that one […]
4.5 stars — I’m having a hell of a time writing this review, and it’s not because I didn’t love it…probably the cause is the opposite. I truly LOVED it and yet I’m having a hard time getting my thoughts in order. This book was gritty. Emotional. REAL. I felt all the things for both […]
4.5 stars — I can’t believe how much I felt for these characters in such a short period of time. The way Ms. Ryan conveys her character’s emotions is so very effective…it sucker punched me right in the feels. And what’s more interesting is that I would feel for Bristol, and then she would have […]
4.5 stars — OK, first thing you should know about me is that I’m a scared crier…meaning tears fall out of my eyes uncontrollably (b/c it’s not normal crying) when I get scared. And this book is NOT scary people. I mean, there are suspenseful bits, sure. But apparently just the concept of ghosts scares […]
3.5 stars — I’ve enjoyed a few of these Kpop Romances by Ms. Bennett, and they are always a fun, light, quick read! This one was no exception. There were so many cute moments between Chansol and Talitha, moments that totally made me smile and gave me butterflies. Unfortunately, there were also some cringey moments […]
DNF @ 38% — I was really excited for this one, since a) it was recommended by blogs I follow; and b) I LOVE the sport of swimming. Unfortunately I was turned off almost immediately by the inclusion of a ridiculously over the top and horrific secondary character, Bellini. I’m assuming she is modeled after […]
2.5 stars — This rating does not reflect the writing whatsoever…I actually highlighted a lot of this book, b/c I think Ms. Ryan writes beautifully and presents things in an interesting manner. Unfortunately, while I’ve enjoyed the one other book I’ve read by her, I don’t think I have the patience for the types of […]
