OMg I did NOT know this was a re-telling of Jane Eyre!!!!! It was glorious!!!! So flipping good. It was tragic and romantic, eerie and dark. I loved the original Jane Erye by Charlottw Bronte. I feel so dumb cause I didn’t realize it was a retelling until the fire. Which is right at the […]
4 stars — I totally didn’t realize this was a spin off from the Royally series! That made my heart happy, and honestly I don’t know why Wessco in the blurb didn’t clue me in, but I guess I just wasn’t thinking. It was great to get glimpses of the other happy couples in this one, […]
4.5 stars — I feel like it’s been awhile since I’ve been this emotionally impacted by a story. Daisy GOT to me. Like, I felt so hard for her, even despite the HUGE mistakes she was making all over the place. And it wasn’t just her, Trevor too! My poor hubby had to try to […]
3.5 stars — *sigh* These books are super fast to gobble up, and I do enjoy that in some ways. But it does mean that, again, not a lot of time is given to certain plot points to really expand on the emotional impact. In this case it was Knox’s father, and Reese’s healing. Knox […]
3.5 stars — I will admit that I have not read any Austen books, including Emma. But as I was reading this book I realized I did know another Emma retelling really well: Clueless!! It helped to have that in the back of my mind in some ways, to sort of acknowledge certain aspects of […]
3.5 stars — This was a sweet story with a hero that was SO easy to love, and a heroine that grew and came into her own over the course of the story! For me, something about the pacing and the writing kept it from a higher rating…otherwise it was a solid romance. As I […]
4 stars — This was a solid Sarina Bowen read — you got heart, you got fantastic relationships between characters, you got some insightful looks into issues facing couples that often aren’t discussed… I really appreciated all the layers to Tank’s character. I can’t go into all of them, because it would be spoilery — but […]
3.5 stars — Overall I was definitely entertained, but I wasn’t quite as sucked in as other books in this series. That might have just been me, and my mental state at the moment, it’s hard to tell these days. I also left this review as just notes for freaking ever, and now I’m too […]
4.5 stars — This was one of those ones that thoroughly entertained me, and as I wrote out my review, I just liked more. That’s actually kind of rare for me. I was surprised that it was just a male narrator for both POVs, but Mr. Paige did a great job — consistent voices, emotion, […]
3 stars — I am pretty fussy with my enemies to lovers trope stories, and this one was okay, but hit some of my buttons that prevented it from being more than just okay. Although I did stay up late reading it, so it was compelling! The problem with this one (for me) is that […]
