3.5 stars — A pretty solid Christmas Harlequin Blaze. A little bit of mystery/suspense in it, but didn’t really play strongly into the plot. I was a little frustrated with Lydia for holding on to those teenage impressions for so long…apparently I’m not in a very understanding mood at the moment. Like, part of me […]
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 […]
3.5 stars — This was a super fast and easy read. Both Nick and Cassie were pretty easy to like, and I enjoyed them together, though I will admit that I didn’t enjoy them as much as some other couples I’ve read from this author. I think my rating is more of an “it’s not […]
3.5 stars — So I just went back and reread my reviews for the first two books, and apparently I feel consistently about the books in this series. There is a lot I LOVE, but I tend to have the same complaints. I always end the book not entirely sure how I feel about it…which […]
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 […]
OVERALL: 3 stars — I think these were just too short for me, and so I just couldn’t get into them. *shrugs* Oh well. HEAT OF THE MOMENT: 3 stars — This was a solid leaning-more-towards-erotica short story until I hit the ending. Then I grew angry at Garrett’s insensitive overreaction, and annoyed that Shelby […]
4.5 stars — I came for the latina heroine (for my diversity challenge), I stayed for the awesome narrators, relatively accurate coding references, amazing female software developer, and patient hero. First, the narrators: Both narrators are new to me, and I enjoyed them both. I LOVED Ms. Zimmerman in particular, she added so much emotion […]
5 stars — It takes a lot to get full 5 stars from me nowadays. 4.5 rounded up? Not as much, but full 5 stars? Yeah…I’m a bit stingy with those. But this book. This book just kind of burrowed into my heart and stayed there. It’s the kind of book that had me thinking […]
Favorite Quotes: I have plans to sleep in, read an endless number of books, and soak for hours in the outdoor hot tub under the stars. In between all that, I intend to do some yoga, bake, snowshoe, and simply enjoy the peace and solitude that being in the middle of the woods brings. “And […]
I really liked this book. It was better than the first one, which I enjoyed a lot as well. This story was way more emtionally intense due to the domestic abuse. I suppose I should warn folks with triggers here. It gets pretty graphic. I was surprised how much I connected with these characters because […]
