Just One of the Royals by Leah & Kate Rooper

Just One of the Royals by Leah & Kate Rooper

3 stars — OK.  So.  Hmmm…  I adored the first book in this series, so I was excited to see more.  But…while this one wasn’t bad, it was just missing something.  The tropes in this story are friends to lovers and fake relationship, and I didn’t always understand their friendship, and I DEFINITELY didn’t understand […]

Knocked Up by Stacey Lynn

Knocked Up by Stacey Lynn

3.5 stars — Welp, I went back and read my review for Fake Wife, and I have a feeling that Ms. Lynn may not be quite right for me.  Which is a weird thing to say seeing as I’ll likely round this review up to 4 stars…but I just really feel uncomfortable with the level […]

The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory

The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory

3 stars — I was really looking forward to this book, and the main reason is the obvious awesome diversity!  Not only is our author a person of colour, but so are BOTH of our main characters!  And I’d seen some good reviews for Ms. Guillory’s debut, The Wedding Date, so I figured it was […]

Stronger Than You Know by Jolene Perry

Stronger Than You Know by Jolene Perry

4.5 stars — So what do I do when I finish an amazing book by an author that’s left me with a huge book hangover??  Pick up another book by that author that I’ve also been afraid to read b/c of feelz!!!  Why am I not doing this more often?  Because this book just 100% […]

Style by Chelsea M. Cameron

Style by Chelsea M. Cameron

3 stars — This one had potential, and I was excited to read another F/F, but unfortunately it fell flat.  The storyline was actually kind of boring, there was barely any conflict.  I mean, I don’t mind lots of happy times, but there has to be something driving the story. The editing was HORRIBLE.  And […]

Honesty by Seth King

Honesty by Seth King

DNF @ 7% — OK, I’ll be honest.  That 7% makes me feel really guilty.  This one had some great highlight-worthy lines, but I also fell asleep and had a hard time focusing on it…in the FIRST 7%.  Not a great start.  Sometimes there are books that aren’t style fits, and I found it hard […]
