4 stars — When I first read this blurb, I wasn’t at all interested…I don’t know why, I think because Suzie is always shown as so unstable…or at least that’s the impression I get from Winston Brothers books. But then I read the second book in this series, and I totally figured out what they […]
4 stars — Wow, those secrets were, in some ways, darker than I had expected. And yet many parts of this book were so fun and sweet! Gigi was pretty adorable, and it’s amazing how bright she shined given her life up until that point. It was actually kind of delightful to see. I admire […]
4 stars — I think this book went a little differently than I was expecting from the blurb. I expected a much stronger music/poetry component, and it wasn’t really there…it was more background, felt tacked on. But at the same time what I did get was fantastic. Cooper surprised the heck out of me. I was […]
3.5 stars — I really enjoyed both Jasper and Liam, but I will admit I wanted more from their story… Jasper was a lot more grumpy and disgruntled than I had been expecting. I knew he was going to be exceptionally standoffish and closed off, just from the peek we’d seen in Unguarded (which you […]
3.5 stars — OK, I haven’t read any other books in this series, but can I get a pet peeve out of the way? The series is called Mediterranean Nights. This book takes place in the Caribbean. *Marge Simpson growl* I will admit that while this book was easy to read, it took me awhile to […]
4.5 stars — Well boy howdy, that sucked me in and spit out a happy little reader. I was entranced almost from the very first line. I wasn’t expecting these two characters, but I LOVED them. I felt so much for them, and I really appreciated how different they were to many other couples I […]
4 stars — I’m not sure if it was my mood, but while I LOVED parts of this story, I found my mind wandering while reading as well. I think it doesn’t help when there’s a lot of hype for a book…my brain doesn’t do good with hype. Which is stupid, but there it is. I […]
3.5 stars — There were certain aspects of this story I just loved, but there was also a LOT going on and I think it was too much. This was my first time listening to Victoria Mei, but she has a sound similar to Erin Mallon for me (which is a good thing). Both narrators […]
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 […]
4.5 stars — This one surprised me! While I could tell from the blurb that there wasn’t any cheating, I still wasn’t sure exactly what that meant and how it would reflect on our characters. It was definitely complicated, but I was okay with it, so phew! I seriously fell in love with Sebastien. I […]
