Dax by Sawyer Bennett

Dax by Sawyer Bennett

3 stars — Well huh.  This one was only okay for me.  I think there were multiple things that went into it for me, but all in all it gave me a feeling of meh. This was my first listen by Virginia Rose, and while there isn’t anything necessarily wrong with her narration, it definitely […]

My Fake Rake by Eva Leigh

My Fake Rake by Eva Leigh

4 stars — I wasn’t sure how I was going to like this book given that the heroine initially has feelings for someone else.  And while I definitely struggled with the whole prolonged misunderstandings/lack of communication thing at the end, it was still just a really fun and adorable book. I loved how absolutely nerdy […]

Love and Other Flight Delays by Denise Williams

Love and Other Flight Delays by Denise Williams

4.5 stars — I actually read these novellas totally out of order and finished this one last, but that didn’t impact my enjoyment at all!  I wasn’t sure what I was going to get with these two characters, but what I got was freaking adorable.  I loved the crushes, and the tentativeness, and the blushes, […]

Role Playing by Cathy Yardley

Role Playing by Cathy Yardley

4.5 stars — I kind of avoided this book b/c I was afraid it wouldn’t live up to my expectations, but the funny thing is that my expectations were kind of wrong in some ways, and it took me to places I wasn’t expecting but that seriously delighted me.  So the lesson is: stop procrastinating […]

Gouda Friends by Cathy Yardley

Gouda Friends by Cathy Yardley

4 stars — Tam and Josh were just quirky and funny and nerdy and dorky and cute. It took me a bit to settle into this one.  Maybe because I was just getting over a cold so my brain was a bit foggy?  Not sure.  Maybe because some of the situations felt a bit cliche?  […]

Good as Gold by Sarina Bowen

Good as Gold by Sarina Bowen

3.5 stars — Is it the cold?  Is it me?  A bit of both?  Basically this review was written while sick, and I’m still too tired to clean it up and do this book justice.  But the rating speaks more than my words, I still rounded up. This was a solid romance, but I wasn’t […]

The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez

The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez

2.5 stars — I’m so glad that this book was not my first book by this author, because I probably would have never gotten back to her.  The thing is, her writing is actually really solid.  There were so many fun moments between Josh and Kristen.  But wow, the things that disappointed me were numerous […]

How to Marry a Marquess by Stacy Reid

How to Marry a Marquess by Stacy Reid

4 stars — Yay!  This is getting even closer to the Ms. Reid I fell in love with in her Sinful Wallflowers series! I will admit that while I loved certain parts of Evie, there were other times that she left me confused.  I thought she was a good representation of someone who carried so […]

Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade

Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade

5 stars — Wow.  Just, this was more than everything I was looking for in a book, and I loved it from start to finish.  Sometimes I find 5 star reviews the hardest to write, because there’s so much I feel, but I don’t want to spoil anything and I feel weird just absurdly gushing, […]
