The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

4 stars — Ah enemies to lovers…you always have me wary.  Honestly though?  This was one of the more real enemies to lovers I’ve ever read, and mostly I was totally onboard with Ethan and Olive. This is a book that perhaps I shouldn’t have listened to instead of read.  First of all, don’t let […]

A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

4.5 stars — This was the kind of book that gave me tummy tingles from nerves and anxiety and had me growling in frustration and racing to the bathroom yelling “Dammit, I have to pee!” to my husband because my bladder interrupted my reading time.  I think that speaks for itself.  😛 I loved Harper.  […]

The Holiday Kiss by Maggie Dallen

The Holiday Kiss by Maggie Dallen

4.5 stars — Wow, I think Ms. Dallen has a formula.  As with The Candy Cane Kiss, I was dismayed with the attitude and inner thoughts of Luke at the beginning of this story.  He was…not nice.  He was seriously insensitive (probably from being a bit self-involved), and hence a bit of a bully and […]

A Cowboy Never Quits by Cindi Madsen

A Cowboy Never Quits by Cindi Madsen

4.5 stars — OK, this book turned into something much more than I was expecting.  Which makes it sound like I had low expectations, but I didn’t…I always enjoy Ms. Madsen’s work.  It was more just that I had no idea what to expect.  Normally I’m not huge on more than 2 POVs, but I […]

#HEA by Cambria Hebert

#HEA by Cambria Hebert

4.5 stars — You know what I love about the way Ms. Hebert writes even just Christmas novellas for these serieses?  They’re not just fluff…they’re never fluff.  You continue to see more growth in both the characters and in their relationships.  That’s what makes me love these series and these characters so much — they […]

#Fate by Cambria Hebert

#Fate by Cambria Hebert

4.5 stars — While I will never sneeze at more books about favourite characters, I was never one of the many fans that kept asking for more #Trewlove.  It’s not that I didn’t want more, it was that I was satisfied if that was all I was gonna get.  But when I heard there was […]

Hot Winter Nights by Jill Shalvis

Hot Winter Nights by Jill Shalvis

4.5 stars — I’ve been wanting to read this one since last Christmas, and I loved the blend of holiday, romance and suspense! This was my first time listening to Vivienne Leheny, and she was solid.  She had a great emotional range, and her voices were consistent.  I didn’t even mind that she narrated both […]

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 […]

Zip, Zero, Zilch by Tammy Falkner

Zip, Zero, Zilch by Tammy Falkner

3.5 stars — OK, I’m going to start by saying that when I started this book I was super confused and lost.  I honestly thought perhaps I had missed a previous book with our two MCs (Sam and Peck), because it felt like I was expected to know stuff about their relationship up to this […]
