3.5 stars — For me, this was a book with very diverse ratings depending on what I’m talking about. The characters/story/depth/emotion were like 4-4.5. The writing could sometimes be more at a 3, and maybe it’s just me. I’m left feeling very torn, b/c the thing I loved I LOVED! Let’s start with the writing, […]
4 4.5 stars — If you’re a reader of my reviews, you know I’m suuuupppper picky about my enemies to lovers trope… And honestly? For the first 40-50% of this book I wasn’t sure if this one was going to work for me personally (like, I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t wowing me). But damn, […]
4 stars — Hey look! I hadn’t read this one before! For some reason I guess I assumed I’d read all the Harlequin Presents books I kept…I wonder what other ones are up there. ANYWAYS. Trish Wylie is totally making my faves list. She knows how to take normal Presents tropes and update them for […]
3.5 stars — Well, that was a big bag of mixed. I wonder if this author might inevitably just not be for me. This book reminded me a lot of Helena Hunting’s Pucked. It’s so popular and everyone loves it, but the over the topness is just a bit too over the top for this […]
The Wrong Brother by Maureen Child 4 stars — I will admit that I’ve become more wary of my Harlequin books as time passes. I’m just not the same reader I was 10 years ago, you know? I notice things that I never did before. So I was wary going into this book, but I […]
4.5 stars — I got sweet, sexy, playful, intense, and drooling over both food and Gunnar. 😉 It was my first time listening to Vanessa Edwin, and she was a lot of fun. I loved the way she narrated her “hormones”, and I have a feeling I enjoyed it more listening to her than if […]
4 stars — I started off listening to this one, but the audio just wasn’t capturing me and holding my attention as much, so I switched to reading and it was much smoother. I will admit it took me a bit to really connect with Holland. It’s funny, it’s like as a character she was […]
4 stars — Wow. This one was fairly slow to start, and while I was enjoying it, I wasn’t wowed. It had some moments of repetition, and there were some pacing problems where I felt like there could have been some editing down. But then I got sucked right the fuck in, and holy cow […]
They finally come clean with each other and it’s glorious! Although I gotta say that the boys are bit overzealous with how protective and Riot is too controlling for my taste. Ever allows them to get under her skin and sometimes does the opposite of what they want just to be contrary which I found […]
This was a fantastic start to a potentially great series. I liked how lost everyone was in this book and how emotive they all were. The mystery plot was not too intricate that you had to pay a lot of attention but strong enough to hold the story together and not make it all about […]
