2.5 stars — Well, that was a bit of a disappointment. Honestly, if I wasn’t reading it for a challenge, I might have DNF’d it. It’s not a bad book, but it is kinda boring, and needless to say I was NOT compelled. Here’s the thing: Shelby seems like she should be a fucking badass […]
4.5 stars — Well that was hella affecting. The last 2 sections in particular had me crying and crying. What an intriguing way to show how the past can affect future generations, and how we can learn from them even as they are so different from our present. Beautiful artwork. I ached with the Scars […]
3.5 stars — Bummer. This one started off really strong and I stayed up late reading it the first night. But then I got tired of the schtik of the plot, and I just wanted things to be cleared up. Ah well. This had a bit of a Cyrano de Bergerac retelling feel to it […]
4 stars — This was just the kind of light, fun, sexy romp I was looking for. Which is not to say that it was without depth, just that there was enough other fun stuff to keep me hooked and entertained. Our characters were hella complicated. They were both fucked up by stressful childhoods, and […]
4 stars — This one surprised me a bit with the way things played out, and in particular Charlie’s character. She could be a bit hard to love and understand sometimes, but all the same I mostly did get what made her up. She was damaged in a different way than I was anticipating, and […]
4 stars — I LOVED Jack and Skip. They were both flawed and frustrating at times, but with good hearts that deserved the love of the other. It was interesting that they both had some similarities in their upbringing, but because of other circumstances they cope in slightly different ways. But it helped them understand each […]
4.5 stars — Wow. It’s weird, I took longer to read this book than I expected…I kept coming back for tidbits. But now that I’m done, I’m sad I won’t be in this world with these characters anymore. Hence the bump up by half a star. Looks like I’m going to have to get the […]
4.5 stars — Well shit, that was good to the last drop my friends! Sierra was a delightful heroine, which is kind of a weird thing to say because she’s a bit closed off on the surface. She was smart, thoughtful, hardworking, and had a genuine love for her job that you could feel. I […]
4 or 4.5 stars — Dudes, I seriously enjoyed this book, and yet this review is going to be subpar. I’m still in one of those modes, you know? I can’t even decide how to rate this one…I hate these book moods. Honestly though, the book can be summed up as deliciously cute. Weston was […]
4.5 stars — OK, I’m just going to say it. This is my favourite series in the Smartypants Romance Universe. It never lets me down. It always brings so much more than just a romance (which, there’s nothing wrong with romance — I fucking LOVE romance…it’s all I read). But seriously, it introduces me to […]
