Ever After Always by Chloe Liese

Ever After Always by Chloe Liese

4 stars — This one was a hard read for me.  Part of me is waffling over 3.5 stars rounded up, but I honestly can’t decide.  It doesn’t help that I read it while sick, which I honestly think just taints a read just a bit, you know?  You’re foggier and all that. So why […]

The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez

The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez

2.5 stars — I’m so glad that this book was not my first book by this author, because I probably would have never gotten back to her.  The thing is, her writing is actually really solid.  There were so many fun moments between Josh and Kristen.  But wow, the things that disappointed me were numerous […]

Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez

Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez

4.5 stars — When I had 3 hours left on this audio, I thought I’d listen for an hour before bed…and suddenly it was 2am and I was finished and sniffling and happy.  😉 The narrators were absolutely fantastic in this one.  Mr. Webber can occasionally be hit or miss for me, but he was […]

Searching for Beautiful by Nyrae Dawn

Searching for Beautiful by Nyrae Dawn

3.5 stars — This one was okay.  Probably a better book for actual teens instead of us weird adults who like to read YA. I feel like I just wanted more…it was all just kind of basic?  I genuinely don’t know how to describe it other than to say that I just didn’t feel the […]

The Wolf and the Wildflower by Stacy Reid

The Wolf and the Wildflower by Stacy Reid

4 stars — There were parts of this book that I absolutely loved, but I think I spent a lot of time thinking of gender identity and all that that encompasses, and while this touched on that to some degree, particularly the paths that were open to women in this time period vs all the […]

A Matter of Temptation by Stacy Reid

A Matter of Temptation by Stacy Reid

4.5 stars — This was utterly delightful.  Honestly, the happy moments between Mina and Simon were just so freaking good, I just wanted to read them over and over. You could genuinely feel the connection between these two.  From their initial intrigue, to crush, to fascination, to lust, to more.  It was just…so good. I […]

When the Earl Met His Match by Stacy Reid

When the Earl Met His Match by Stacy Reid

4 stars — While there were parts of the book that frustrated me, the delightful parts were just so wonderful that at the end that’s what I’m left feeling. I appreciated Phoebe’s determination to seek out a better situation for herself.  She’s definitely impulsive and reckless, but it’s tempered by her kind heart and sassy […]

How to Marry a Marquess by Stacy Reid

How to Marry a Marquess by Stacy Reid

4 stars — Yay!  This is getting even closer to the Ms. Reid I fell in love with in her Sinful Wallflowers series! I will admit that while I loved certain parts of Evie, there were other times that she left me confused.  I thought she was a good representation of someone who carried so […]

Wicked in His Arms by Stacy Reid

Wicked in His Arms by Stacy Reid

3.5 stars — While still not the hit that the entire Sinful Wallflower series was for me, this was a definite improvement over the first Calydon book!  I think the writing had improved leaps and bounds, and in the end the disconnect was more in the types of characters in this one, particularly the hero. […]
