4 stars — I LOVED Jack and Skip. They were both flawed and frustrating at times, but with good hearts that deserved the love of the other. It was interesting that they both had some similarities in their upbringing, but because of other circumstances they cope in slightly different ways. But it helped them understand each […]
4.5 stars — Wow. It’s weird, I took longer to read this book than I expected…I kept coming back for tidbits. But now that I’m done, I’m sad I won’t be in this world with these characters anymore. Hence the bump up by half a star. Looks like I’m going to have to get the […]
3.5 stars — There were parts of this book, delightful little parts that I absolutely ADORED, and they are the reason I’m inevitably going to round up. Because while there were a lot of things that didn’t work for me, those moments, those quips, those emotions just kept me coming back…and that’s enough for me. This […]
4.5 stars — I enjoyed it more than I was expecting. It had more ups and downs than I was expecting, but it worked. Kolby was interesting, b/c he was a bit of a contrast. Both reserved and out there, confident and insecure. He had all these leftover effects from his upbringing, and he was […]
4.5 stars — Is it weird to say that I enjoyed this one so much more than I was expecting? Like, why were my expectations so low? Or was it that I had none? I don’t know, but Oz and Reeve surprised and delighted me from almost the first page. I don’t think I was expecting […]
4 stars — If you’re looking for a sweet, super low angst M/M, look no further. Occasionally I felt like it was a bit too sweet, but then you know what? Sometimes I want all that happy. Sometimes it’s nice to read the happy. Caleb and Tag were just so freaking adorable, I can’t even. […]

4 stars — I think this book went a little differently than I was expecting from the blurb. I expected a much stronger music/poetry component, and it wasn’t really there…it was more background, felt tacked on. But at the same time what I did get was fantastic. Cooper surprised the heck out of me. I was […]
3.5 stars — I really enjoyed both Jasper and Liam, but I will admit I wanted more from their story… Jasper was a lot more grumpy and disgruntled than I had been expecting. I knew he was going to be exceptionally standoffish and closed off, just from the peek we’d seen in Unguarded (which you […]
4.5 stars — Well boy howdy, that sucked me in and spit out a happy little reader. I was entranced almost from the very first line. I wasn’t expecting these two characters, but I LOVED them. I felt so much for them, and I really appreciated how different they were to many other couples I […]
