4.5 stars — I came for the latina heroine (for my diversity challenge), I stayed for the awesome narrators, relatively accurate coding references, amazing female software developer, and patient hero. First, the narrators: Both narrators are new to me, and I enjoyed them both. I LOVED Ms. Zimmerman in particular, she added so much emotion […]
4.5 stars — I don’t even know where to start. I’m not really a fantasy reader, but there is something about the way Amy Harmon writes her stories that has me immediately grabbing for any fantasy novel she writes. Her worlds are so vivid and unique. And the emotions! OMG the emotions. I just finished […]
ON REREAD: 3 stars — You know, I didn’t want to reread this book…or rather, I was afraid to reread it. It was like some part of me knew that I was a different person, and so I wouldn’t read the book the same way. And that little part of me was right on the […]
4 stars — Well this review is going to be a bitch to write. Like seriously. I’m going to have to start with super vague feelings, and then put anything else in a huge SPOILER box. This book went in so many different directions, most of which I wasn’t expecting! I expected dual POV, but […]
4.5 stars — Yay! Another fairytale success for me! My reactions have been very mixed with these, so I was so relieved when I was immediately sucked into Colton and Verity’s love story. I found Colton to be absolutely fascinating. I loved the extra little bit about the disability he was struggling with, something I […]
I really liked this book. It was better than the first one, which I enjoyed a lot as well. This story was way more emtionally intense due to the domestic abuse. I suppose I should warn folks with triggers here. It gets pretty graphic. I was surprised how much I connected with these characters because […]
4.5 stars — OK, wow, this book went in places I wasn’t anticipating at all. And while I don’t want to spoil things, I will warn that if you have problems with people in porn or the sex industry, then you should steer clear. So while I was surprised what subjects this book tackled, I […]
4 stars — I think one of things I loved the most about this book is that Ms. Kennedy took a few stereotypes and dove into them, turning them onto their heads and providing depth to those experiences. In particular the “blonde party girl” and the “jock”. I love that kind of thing. I love […]
3.5 stars — I started off LOVING this story, but not really enjoying the male narrator (I’ll get to that). And I’m not sure if it truly lost its luster, or if the narration grated on me, or most likely a combination of the two, but I found myself just wanting to get to the […]
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 […]
