4 stars — It was fun to get back to these hockey books by Sawyer Bennett. There are definitely elements that I love, and elements that I could do with less of, but regardless they are always entertaining and easy. I was truly expecting this one to have more of the enemies to lovers aspect […]
4 stars — There were a few aspects/moments in this story where I had my reservations, but about a gagillion others where I was just grinning and so fucking happy with the romance. It was nice to be listening to the duo of Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Morgan again as narrators. They were my first […]
3.5 stars — I was absolutely sucked into this one from the beginning, but I’m not sure if my mood changed and affected the reading, or if the story truly just didn’t keep the same pace. That’s the frustrating thing — am I distracted b/c the book isn’t holding my attention, or is the book […]
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, […]
4.5 stars — This one just hit for me. There was something about Axel and Rooney that had me captivated even from the previous books. They are such a study in contrasts in some ways, but seeing them find safety in one another was so rewarding. I feel like I got a completely different impression […]
4 stars — While I definitely enjoyed this one, there were moments where I felt like the conflict drew out too long and I was impatience for growth or change…and probably on a personal note, I had a harder time remembering the issues of the times and Beatrice’s very valid avoidance of remarrying. Maybe because […]
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 […]
4 stars — This was a solid YA contemporary, dealing with grief, body image issues, new relationships, and just the basics of being a teenager and all the normal angst that inspires. I really enjoyed Maddie, and she felt very real in so many ways. It was so hard to read about the way she […]
4 stars — I was a little worried about the woo woo aspect of the story, but for me it was just a plot device, and remained a solid contemporary romance. And while this story was light in some aspects, I really appreciated how it brought about these conversations about what makes a relationship long […]
4 stars — Am I the only one that loves when the grump is the heroine and the sunshine is the hero?? Willow was actually as badass as everyone told her she was — I really admired her. She was really down to earth, and while she had a lot of things going on with her, […]
