4.5 stars — Yeah. That was just…good stuff. I was a bit worried with the whole sister’s ex and all that shiznit, but I shouldn’t have been. Ms. Mayberry showcased how she can offer so much depth and heart and finesse in a truly odd situation, and have me feeling perfectly satisfied when I come […]
4.5 stars — I seem to be on a bit of a roll! This very much felt like a souped up Hallmark Christmas movie…by which I mean it might have had similarities to loose Hallmark plotlines, but the story was deeper and there was less cheese. And since I’m personally not as interested in the […]
4.5 stars — Well, that was another emotionally loaded book! It was a fantastic end to what has been an emotionally charged series full of characters that make me feel so much. Lennon was both not at all what I was expecting, and yet made total sense at the same time. I think that was […]
4.5 stars — Well, that was an emotional rollercoaster that I devoured. I seriously ended up biking way past my goal time because I was so absorbed, gotta love that! I don’t know what expectations I had for Elliott, but I don’t remember being as excited for his story as some of the others. And […]
OVERALL: 3.5 stars — You know, this was a pretty successful anthology! I find there are always a few gems (in this case it was Britt and the Bike God, Per Aspera Ad Astra, and A Curse, A Kindness), and then a few that just don’t hit. In this one, the ones that didn’t hit […]
4 stars — I loved the first half of this book, it just hit all of my reading buttons, you know? There’s something about a damaged man and a strange friendship that develops without seeing one another that just…it’s a guilty pleasure. I will admit that it got a bit slow for a bit, but […]
3.5 stars — I think if I hadn’t been reading this for my Diversity challenge, I might have just DNF’d. And that doesn’t mean the book was bad, just that I think it wasn’t for me. It took me almost a whole month to read this one, I just didn’t reach for it. The narrators […]
4.5 stars — I was so afraid of starting this book, b/c I remember how Hallowed Ground had slayed me. I couldn’t even bring myself to reread the series before reading this one, b/c the emotions just hit home so hard. But as a result of not rereading, I feel like I can confirm that you […]
4.5 stars — This was a FANTASTIC new addition to this series!! I did read Stud Muffin before this one, and while I’m personally glad I did, you wholeheartedly could read this one as a standalone without missing anything. Frankie was such an intriguing heroine! She was SO CLOSED OFF it was insane! But for […]
4.5 stars — OK, so this was one of those books that for the most part was 10++++++ stars, but then had a few niggly spots that bugged me, so I averaged out to 4.5 stars. Don’t question me, there’s no logic to make this make sense. I honestly spent so much of the time […]
