Overnight Sensation by Sarina Bowen

Overnight Sensation by Sarina Bowen

4 stars — Oh those Brooklyn Bruisers…how I missed them. Jason and Heidi were both so adorable and unique.  It was odd reading about a hero who was so guy-y, so unapologetic about being bossy and who loved being in charge, and just…well guy-y.  But at the same time Jason was SUPER sweet, kind, thoughtful, […]

The Hail Mary by Ginger Scott

The Hail Mary by Ginger Scott

4 stars — This whole series has been hard for me to read.  The thing is, Ms. Scott is an amazing writer…that is not in question.  But I’ve found that I guess I’m not that big a fan of somewhat more angsty reads.  I don’t mean like teen angst shit (though the first book had […]

Fighting to Score by Lisa B. Kamps

Fighting to Score by Lisa B. Kamps

3.5 stars — I was really excited about this book after reading the prequel story “Christmas Interference” in the Hockey Holidays anthology.  I experienced a lot of feels in that short story, and I connected with both Shane and Chloe.  But the Shane and Chloe at the end of that story were a LONG WAYS […]

Even If I Fall by Abigail Johnson

Even If I Fall by Abigail Johnson

3.5 stars — This one ended up being a little weird for me, b/c the thing I usually love most about a book is characters…read any of my reviews, it’s always about the characters.  Normally if I can’t connect with them, the book is just not going to hold my attention.  But this was my […]

The Stars Around Us Burn by Allie Martin

The Stars Around Us Burn by Allie Martin

3.5 stars — This was a very hard book to read at times…one that brought out a lot of emotions for me.  LOTS of feels for sure (some “trying to be quiet because my husband’s sleeping” bawling too), but also frustration.  Teenagers are SO FRUSTRATING!!  Which basically means that Nicole was very authentic to me.  […]

What Happens at Christmas by Jay Northcote

What Happens at Christmas by Jay Northcote

4.5 stars — This is probably going to be a short review, b/c I can’t seem to find my words today!  Sometimes the brain just doesn’t want to cooperate you know??  Plus, this book was short and fun, sometimes there’s just not much to dissect! Both Sean and Justin were very likable characters.  I love […]

Rabi and Matthew by L.A. Witt

Rabi and Matthew by L.A. Witt

3.5 stars — This was a diverse read that felt like it was there for more than just face value.  We weren’t just told that Rabi was Muslim and Pakistani, we got to see a bit of his life and some of his traditions (such as prayer on Fridays).  I really appreciated that.  Sometimes I […]
