4 stars — I was worried about this one! In the first chapter, I was NOT getting a good feeling for Ian. Like, he seemed like a self-involved douchecanoe. I was contemplating DNFing…but I persisted, b/c it’s Lauren Layne. And while she’s not a guaranteed win for me, she gives me enough success to push […]
4 stars — Well that was a cute story with a lot of depth underneath. Jamie and Briar were both pretty easy to love. I loved how positive Jamie could be, and what difficult choices he was faced with. I totally got his unwillingness to upset the status quo, and how stuck he felt with […]
3.5 stars — In the end I liked both Gabe and Alec, but the story just didn’t pull me in. One thing I adored was the fact that Gabe fit the stereotype of a “gay man”…which is a super weird thing to say, but I think because m/m romance is often written by women, the […]
4.5 stars — I was worried about how I would enjoy this one, especially with the way Tyler started out, but it hit a bunch of notes I wasn’t expecting and I ended up really feeling for both Tyler and Mia! Mia was pretty easy to connect with — I really appreciated the way the […]
4.5 stars — Wow. This one just grabbed me, sucked me in and wouldn’t let me go…I kind of love that feeling. I wasn’t sure how I was going to cope with a grumpy/jerk hero, b/c that’s not something I gravitate towards AT ALL. But there was SO MUCH going on underneath Max, he was […]
4.5 stars — I think I’ve found a new favourite author. There’s just something about the quirky characters that Ms. Hibbert creates, and the kind of romance that just gets to my heart…mixed in with amazing depth, and it just works for me. I will say, no matter how delightful I find Ione Butler’s voice […]
3.5 stars — This one started off really strongly, I was totally intrigued by Roxy and Sanders! But the book fizzled for me…maybe it was my mood, I have no idea. Honestly, I don’t mind insta-love/lust…depends on how it’s done. I definitely felt that immediate connection between Roxy and Sanders on the dance floor — […]
4.5 stars — Well that was a whole heck of a lot of fun! And not just fun, but lots of depth too. I had heard great things going in, but honestly that just makes me wary that I’m going to be the one who doesn’t belong to the cool group. Fear not! I fell […]
4 stars — I can’t seem to get my thoughts in order. I fucking hate that. So I apologize if this review feels a bit scattered. I definitely felt a lot more connection between Tanner and Jax. I loved the way they connected, and that while there were a few obstacles in their way, in […]
4.5 stars — That…was not at all what I was expecting. In an even better sense. I was genuinely expecting a “beach read”, something fairly light and fluffy. And while this book had light and fluffy moments, with banter that truly delighted me beyond belief, there was a HUGE emotional aspect that left me with […]
