Lies & Lullabies by Sarina Bowen

Lies & Lullabies by Sarina Bowen

4.5 stars — I told Brett that this one was an amalgamation of some of my favourite tropes: secret identity, secret baby, celebrity…even a bit of second chance.  And it fulfilled everything I love about those tropes and more.  Basically, Lenore was a happy reader…well, listener. Jonas was NOTHING like I was expecting for a […]

Under the Spotlight by Angie Stanton

2.5 stars — Well…I guess this is one series I should NOT have finished.  I should have listened to my gut that had me avoiding reading Garrett’s book, b/c this one definitely disappointed.  Or maybe it’s that it lived down to my low expectations.  Basically, if you’re hoping that Garrett has a huge transformation, or […]

You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

4.5 stars — In so many ways this was a typical romance — I could see the conflict coming from a mile away.  But in other ways it was something altogether new and different — the challenges that each of our characters faced, their quirks, were wholly unique.  And in the end, both aspects played […]

The Treble With Men by Piper Sheldon

The Treble With Men by Piper Sheldon

4.5 stars — OK, I was totally not expecting a Phantom of the Opera retelling!!  That delighted me.  I don’t know if it’s bad to ruin that, because it occurred to me slowly, more and more, as the book went on…but then again, it could bring people to the book who might not have taken […]

Falling for the Ghost of You by Nicole Christie

Falling for the Ghost of You by Nicole Christie

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — eeee!!! Totally fangirling all over the place with this one. This was a *happy sigh* finish. Then I started walking around thinking about all the gushing I was gonna do, and for some reason I thought maybe I should have something intelligent to say, and then I got thinking and […]

Sweet Cheeks by K. Bromberg

Sweet Cheeks by K. Bromberg

3.5 stars — I made the colossal mistake of listening to an audiobook that has a lot of surface similarities to this book at the same time as reading this book, and I will admit I occasionally got my wires crossed.  I had to set the audiobook aside so that would stop happening.  And a […]

4.5 stars — OK, so this was one of those books that for the most part was 10++++++ stars, but then had a few niggly spots that bugged me, so I averaged out to 4.5 stars.  Don’t question me, there’s no logic to make this make sense. I honestly spent so much of the time […]

The Sun and Her Star by Dylan Allen

The Sun and Her Star by Dylan Allen

3.5 stars — There was a lot of feelz going on in this book…my heart isn’t always in the mood for that level of drama and angst, and I’m torn on whether I was in the right mood reading this.  But the thing is that I was sucked in and connected to these characters, even if […]

Rising Star by Susannah Nix

Rising Star by Susannah Nix

4 stars — I absolutely LOVED the first 70% of this book.  It made me swoon, it gave me the awww’s, it just fulfilled something I was looking for.  The last 30% wasn’t bad or anything, it just took a turn towards probably the more realistic, and I don’t think I was in the right […]
