Wrapped Up in You by Jill Shalvis

Wrapped Up in You by Jill Shalvis

4.5 stars — I actually really loved this one!  I don’t know if it’s just because I’m finding I really love Erin Mallon’s narration, and that’s what set it over the top, or if it was the story, with it’s humour and heartbreak and depth…or more likely it was all of the above. So we’ll […]

#Awestruck by Sariah Wilson

#Awestruck by Sariah Wilson

4 stars — This one had the opposite effect of the previous two books…I spent a lot of time wary and annoyed with the decisions that Ashton was making early in the book, but she redeemed herself and the ending was satisfying!!  So weird. I saw a few reviewers mentioning how they feel like Evan […]

Not So Nice Guy by R.S. Grey

Not So Nice Guy by R.S. Grey

4.5 stars — My Mom and I started this book months ago on a road trip and just finally got to finishing it, and we laughed and laughed and laughed! As always, the narrators were fucking fantastic.  They really bring the characters to life, and I adore the way they portrayed Sam and Ian.  Ms. Christian […]

4 stars — Well, apparently this is going to be a theme.  I LOVE so much about these books, they just delight me to no end.  BUT, as with book 1, I personally did NOT like the conflict/climax and resolution.  It’s so hard when you love a book so much, and then the end doesn’t […]

4.5 stars — Oh you guys…I am so torn on my rating for this one.  Because the things I loved about this book are like 6+ stars OMG!  Buuuutttt…there were a few things that just kept it from perfect.  So do I rate 4.5 rounded down?  Straight 4?  4.25?  Whatever’s at the front of this […]

Exes & Ho Ho Hos by Pippa Grant

Exes & Ho Ho Hos by Pippa Grant

3.5 stars — I was worried I wouldn’t connect with the humour, because that happens a lot with really popular romantic comedies…I guess I just don’t always follow the masses with what I find funny.  But I enjoyed it more than I expected!  It definitely has a bit of an over the top feel, but […]

My Mistletoe Mix-Up by Judy Corry

My Mistletoe Mix-Up by Judy Corry

4.5 stars — Wow, another great YA holiday novella!!  Again, touched on some tough subjects and had characters that were so easy to connect with.  Honestly?  This one surprised me with how much I liked it.  I think I was worried about the bad boy aspect… But Logan was freaking adorable.  I loved that this former […]

Jayda’s Christmas Wish by Amy Sparling

Jayda’s Christmas Wish by Amy Sparling

5 stars — Now THIS was what I was looking for in a cute YA Christmas novella!  It had everything I wanted: characters struggling with tough topics over the holidays, a sense of Christmas spirit, and a hero and heroine that I could fall in love with! Jayda felt very authentic for her age.  She […]

Man Cuffed by Sarina Bowen & Tanya Eby

Man Cuffed by Sarina Bowen & Tanya Eby

4.5 stars — I can’t tell you how many books I read where I get sucked right in, loving them, and then that enthrallment fades as the book goes on.  In a weird twist of fate, this book was the EXACT OPPOSITE for me.  I’m not sure if it’s because I started it while on a […]
