Homecoming King by Penny Reid

Homecoming King by Penny Reid

4.5 stars — This review is going to be a bit all over the place…it happens sometimes, and sometimes it’s just too hard to wrangle my brain in order, so I leave it. Abby delighted me.  She was wonderfully quirky and odd. I wish this story had been dual POV, but I suppose I can […]

From Exes to Expecting by Laurel Greer

From Exes to Expecting by Laurel Greer

3 stars — Hmmm…this one was okay, but the characters were frustrating.  At the front of the book it said it was Ms. Greer’s debut, so I definitely think her writing and characters have improved over time.  I’m going to keep going on this series, b/c at this point I’m curious.  But I can’t wait […]

Coming in from the Cold by Sarina Bowen

Coming in from the Cold by Sarina Bowen

3.5 stars — Hmmm…after rereading my review for book 2, it looks like this series might feel the same for me: good, but not great.  I think this can happen a lot with author’s earlier works. This one had a pretty strong start, and I didn’t even mind the quick move to steamy scenes…sometimes that […]

My Perfect Mistake by Kelly Siskind

My Perfect Mistake by Kelly Siskind

4 stars — It was nice to finally come back and read the story that started this series.  I enjoyed both Shay and Kolton, but at the same time they were full of a lot more piss and vinegar than usually come with my favourite characters.  Their love story had a lot of push and […]

The Holiday Switch by Tif Marcelo

The Holiday Switch by Tif Marcelo

3.5 stars —  This book did not start off strong.  Neither of our main characters were all that endearing, especially at the start.  Lila was uptight, overreactive, comes across a bit like a bitch, can be judgey.  You don’t get to see a lot of her good qualities off the bat.  But luckily I was […]

Just for the Holidays… by Adriana Herrera

Just for the Holidays… by Adriana Herrera

4 stars — Well this was a solid second chance celebrity romance!  I have quite a few books by Ms. Herrera in my collection, but surprisingly this is the first I’ve read (if you don’t count hearing her read from her book at an event).  I kind of love that Harlequin is really embracing the […]

Twelve Dates of Christmas by Laurel Greer

Twelve Dates of Christmas by Laurel Greer

4.5 stars — Well that was a delightfully cute and sexy Christmas read.  We got a bit of an enemies to lovers feel, but the kind that I like where they just push and pull against each other, but part of it stems from their attraction, and the fighting doesn’t last.  You know, enemies light. […]

The Twelve Nights of Christmas by Sarah Morgan

The Twelve Nights of Christmas by Sarah Morgan

3.5 stars — Well, huh.  I started off this one and could totally see what 2010’s Lenore was attracted to, but I just don’t have patience for that anymore.  So I was annoyed by the book, but still couldn’t put it down.  I expected it to end very meh.  But then, despite the persistent toxic […]
