All the Ways You Saved Me by Jamie Howard

All the Ways You Saved Me by Jamie Howard

4.5 stars — Well that was an emotional roller coaster. I think the way this story was told was very unique, and it really added.  I mean, there were times I was disappointed that we weren’t getting present Ian’s POV, but that’s because I’m greedy.  I think sprinkling through the history really gave you an […]

Set to Music by Negeen Papehn

Set to Music by Negeen Papehn

3 stars — *Maybe* 3.5, but not sure if I just wanted to like it more, you know?  I was pretty excited about this one, b/c a) I LOVE celebrity romances; and b) ownvoices diversity!!  But if I’m being honest, I struggled to get into this one…and keep reading.  If it hadn’t been a NetGalley, […]

Broken Hollywood by Lora Richardson

Broken Hollywood by Lora Richardson

3.5 stars — This one started off a little slower and…something for me.  Like, the writing felt a little more basic.  But then I got sucked in and enjoyed myself to the end, so not sure if it was me or what. I will mention right now that this is a young new adult book.  […]

Lennon Reborn by Scarlett Cole

Lennon Reborn by Scarlett Cole

4.5 stars — Well, that was another emotionally loaded book!  It was a fantastic end to what has been an emotionally charged series full of characters that make me feel so much. Lennon was both not at all what I was expecting, and yet made total sense at the same time.  I think that was […]

Nikan Rebuilt by Scarlett Cole

Nikan Rebuilt by Scarlett Cole

4 stars — This review is going to be completely unstructured, because I can’t seem to make a nice coherent flow.  So I’ll hit the highlights. As a Canadian, I understand how truly shameful our past is wrt the First Nations people.  I appreciated that Ms. Cole tried to subtly address some things, but by […]

Elliott Redeemed by Scarlett Cole

Elliott Redeemed by Scarlett Cole

4.5 stars — Well, that was an emotional rollercoaster that I devoured.  I seriously ended up biking way past my goal time because I was so absorbed, gotta love that! I don’t know what expectations I had for Elliott, but I don’t remember being as excited for his story as some of the others.  And […]

The Purest Hook by Scarlett Cole

The Purest Hook by Scarlett Cole

4 stars — I don’t know, this one just worked for me.  I really loved that even though Dred and Pixie were seriously SO DIFFERENT, there was an undeniable connection and attraction between them that they couldn’t help exploring. This book definitely suffered from moments where I was like “OMG, investigate that!  Doesn’t that seem crazy??”  […]

Muses & Melodies by Rebecca Yarros

Muses & Melodies by Rebecca Yarros

4.5 stars — Wow.  This was exactly the kind of rockstar romance I was really looking forward to.  There was a rawness about it that just had me desperate to find out how things were going to turn out.  But it was married with a sass and humour that I’ve come to know and love […]

Rifts and Refrains by Devney Perry

Rifts and Refrains by Devney Perry

4 stars — I’m not sure what I expected from Quinn’s story, but apparently this wasn’t it.  And I don’t mean that in a bad way…or a good way.  Just an unexpected way.  There were certain aspects of this story that just dragged me in and wouldn’t let me go…but there were other parts that […]
