Cheeky Royal by Nana Malone

Cheeky Royal by Nana Malone

DNF @24% (Chapter 10) — So, this is a new author for me, and I was excited to read her for black history month.  And it looked like this was going to be a bit of an ownvoices book too, so double yay!  But right away I could tell the writing wouldn’t likely be a […]

Blitzed by Alexa Martin

Blitzed by Alexa Martin

4 stars — Another one where I’m debating between 3.5 and 4, but the good stuff that delighted me really delighted me, so I’m giving it the boost. I enjoy these books by Ms. Martin in this series, but I can’t say I’m particularly blown away.  There’s something about the writing that feels a bit […]

Heartbeat Braves by Pamela Sanderson

Heartbeat Braves by Pamela Sanderson

DNF @ 26% (chapter 11) — I’m bummed about this, because this was going to be my November diversity read, and I was so excited because it’s an own voices book.  And while I was finding it interesting to have an authentic look into Native Americans (or Indians as they call themselves in the book), […]

Prose Before Bros by Cathy Yardley

Prose Before Bros by Cathy Yardley

4 stars — I adore this author and the kinds of characters she brings to the table, and she didn’t disappoint in this book either.  Drill and Thuy were hella unique, and I loved how they just fit with one another. Now, I’ll start this review with an admission: I’m not a motorcycle club kind […]

I Am Forever by Wynne Channing

I Am Forever by Wynne Channing

4 stars — Oh man, that was an epic sequel!  I’m kind of sad there probably won’t be anymore in this series, because I’m curious about a few of the things that Ms. Channing set up.  But at least I wasn’t left unsatisfied, I really appreciate that. I will admit, I wanted to shake Zee […]

What Kills Me by Wynne Channing

What Kills Me by Wynne Channing

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — well I just went through a very bizarre set of emotions. First, I finished the book and I was like “THAT’S IT???”, I couldn’t believe that while I was getting tired of reading serieses, that the one time I want more it’s not a series. I needed an EPILOGUE or […]

Spring Fling by Various Authors

Spring Fling by Various Authors

OVERALL: 3.5 stars — Not bad for an anthology.  I always expect very mixed results, and I got that.  There were none I hated, so bonus!  My faves were definitely Cake by the Ocean by Cambria Hebert and Falling from Gravity by K.K. Allen. My Best Friend’s Honeymoon by Grahame Claire 2.75 stars — I […]

Ever After by Aya Ling

Ever After by Aya Ling

4 stars — This final book in Kat & Edward’s trilogy definitely satisfied me, even if it felt like there was a lot going on at times. As always, first the narrators: I’m still in love with Luci Christian.  Full stop.  The surprise for me was that there was a male narrator — like literal […]

Twice Upon a Time by Aya Ling

Twice Upon a Time by Aya Ling

4 stars — OK, this review is probably going to be a little scattered, and it’ll probably come across more negative than my actual feelings about the book.  I’m more just explaining (probably to myself) why I didn’t rate it higher.  I’m still loving this series, I just found it took me a bit longer […]
