Unlikely Allies by Tiffany King

Unlikely Allies by Tiffany King

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 5 stars — God damn you Tiffany King!! Do you care that I had to get up at 4am for work today?? Nooooo…you had to make your book unputdownable. So yeah, tantrum over. LOVED it. Loved all the characters…main, side, side side…all. Kimberly and Mason threw me at first with the hostility…I mean, […]

Girls Love Travis Walker by Anne Pfeffer

Girls Love Travis Walker by Anne Pfeffer

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — In some ways I think the blurb for this book does it an injustice. It evoked way more emotions from me than I was expecting…I guess I really thought it was gonna be more fluffy….but then again rereading the blurb it does mention what Travis is going through, so it […]

Falling for the Ghost of You by Nicole Christie

Falling for the Ghost of You by Nicole Christie

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — eeee!!! Totally fangirling all over the place with this one. This was a *happy sigh* finish. Then I started walking around thinking about all the gushing I was gonna do, and for some reason I thought maybe I should have something intelligent to say, and then I got thinking and […]

The Sweet Gum Tree by Katherine Allred

The Sweet Gum Tree by Katherine Allred

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars (rounded up) — this book was fabulous but emotionally draining… So much happened, and it really felt like a real story, where things were not perfect and suddenly happily ever after. The love between Nick and Alix was inspiring…even as it went through the ringer. I think I fell in love […]

Matzah Ball Surprise by Laura Brown

Matzah Ball Surprise by Laura Brown

DNF @ 14% — I really really wanted to love this book, what with its double whammy of diversity.  I rarely find religious diversity books, so I was super excited! But.  *sigh*  I had a hard time getting sucked into this one.  The writing was okay, but I wasn’t connecting with Gaby (or her friend), […]

Stud Muffin by Jiffy Kate

Stud Muffin by Jiffy Kate

4.5 stars — Dudes, this book just gave me EVERYTHING!  I felt the emotions, I laughed out loud too many times to count, and hooowwweeee did I feel the chemistry between Tempest and Cage! I’m not sure if listening made it even better, but I adored our narrators.  Mr. Brinkley’s Cage was sexy AF, and […]

Sweet Cheeks by K. Bromberg

Sweet Cheeks by K. Bromberg

3.5 stars — I made the colossal mistake of listening to an audiobook that has a lot of surface similarities to this book at the same time as reading this book, and I will admit I occasionally got my wires crossed.  I had to set the audiobook aside so that would stop happening.  And a […]

Let’s Get Textual by Teagan Hunter

Let’s Get Textual by Teagan Hunter

4 stars — This one had sooooo many great elements!  I seriously LOVED the dialogue and witty banter — it was 100% a highlight. The problem for me lie in that with so much dialogue bits (especially through texting), I felt like I was missing some of the emotion and inner thoughts of Delia.  It […]

The Butterfly Project by Emma Scott

The Butterfly Project by Emma Scott

4 stars — This one was a little slower at times, and a little more angsty/drama-y than I normally go for.  But the characters were really real, and so easy to feel all the emotions for.  They each had such a unique story, and it was interesting to see how their tragedies/traumas made them match each […]
