4.5 stars — Well colour me surprised!! I never would have guessed that Sofia’s book would challenge Willa/Jackson’s for top spot! And I genuinely don’t know if I could pick, I enjoyed them both for so many reasons. I really love the idea of taking a character that romance readers have been taught to dislike, […]
2.5 stars — If this hadn’t been a NetGalley ARC, I would have DNF’d it. It’s not a bad book per say, but it is NOT a Lenore book. I am SUPER picky about my military books…and this one wouldn’t have made the cut. But this was from my early days of requesting when I […]
4 stars — This one was slow for me to get into, but once I did it delivered right to the end It took a bit to warm up to Alex. I’m sensitive, so he came across mean at first. I do know people who have that personality, and I will admit I’m taken aback […]
4 stars — This one had a fantastic start, I really enjoyed the unconventional relationship between Drew and Billie. You could feel the connection, even as they both hid behind their roles. Then it got kind of crazy, and I was not impressed with the high tempers of Drew and Billie. Thank goodness for Alanza […]
4.5 stars — Well that was fucking delightful. It brought me back to when I first discovered romance books, and how easy it was to fall in love with characters and a romance. Mariah had so many elements of my favourite kinds of heroines, and I absolutely adored her. I ached for what she went […]
3.5 stars — I both enjoyed myself, and was kind of underwhelmed at the same time. I think I was expecting the romance aspect to be a bit stronger, and this definitely felt a bit more women’s fiction-y to me…especially given the fade to black-ness of the steamy (or not so steamy) scenes. I think one […]
4 stars — This novella was fun, solid, not too complicated. I felt for Gail, I can’t imagine having all that hope and then being faced with challenges. Also, I know what it’s like to feel like a child hates you, though that stems more from my anxiety. It was fun to finally loop this […]
Q: I understand the books were originally planned as a duology, but Book 2 has a very open ending. Romina Garber A: It’s not really an ending, it’s the setup for a new beginning. I always saw Manu’s story concluding in a courtroom battle as an undocumented immigrant. But then, you know, it wasn’t an […]
4 stars — Nadine and Thrand actually weren’t what I was expecting. And in both cases that was a good thing. I was expecting Nadine to be a bit more confrontational and infuriated by Thrand’s antics…but while she occasionally became frustrated, she actually maintained a pretty good humour about his strange personality. She was wonderfully confident […]
4.5 stars — I’ll explain in too much detail at the end, but the start was super slow for me, and I set this book aside *twice*. But once I got over that initial hump, I just kept getting more and more into it, until I was racing to the finish. So definitely give it […]
