4.5 stars — This book, and this series, has been on my radar for awhile, and I’m so glad I finally dove in (even if I did dive in on book 3 instead of book 1). It just hit a lot of my buttons, and gave me a new favourite book boy to put on […]
OVERALL: 3.75 stars — As with all anthologies, there’s going to be ones that connect, and ones that don’t (because as readers, we all gravitate towards different things). This one was fairly solid though. There were 2 that I almost DNF’d, but pushed through and was happy I did (even if I still didn’t enjoy […]
4.5 stars — This is probably going to be a short review, b/c I can’t seem to find my words today! Sometimes the brain just doesn’t want to cooperate you know?? Plus, this book was short and fun, sometimes there’s just not much to dissect! Both Sean and Justin were very likable characters. I love […]
3.5 stars — This was a diverse read that felt like it was there for more than just face value. We weren’t just told that Rabi was Muslim and Pakistani, we got to see a bit of his life and some of his traditions (such as prayer on Fridays). I really appreciated that. Sometimes I […]
3.5 stars — This book has recently been rereleased as an Indie read, but I read an old NetGalley ARC copy from Riptide Publishing…I doubt there were any major changes, but figured I’d mention which version I was specifically reviewing. I find Ms. Cousins writes very differently from most authors I read. I don’t know […]
OVERALL: 4 stars — As with all anthologies, there are going to be hits and misses. I actually expect that, because I don’t match up with every author. Sometimes there are more misses than hits. This one had a pretty good balance actually. I think only 1 or 2 really missed. And for the ones […]
2.5 stars — This one had a lot of potential, but in the end I’m wondering if I should have DNF’d it. This was an ARC that I hadn’t gotten to 2 years ago, so obviously I realize it’s not the final copy. As such, I’m fine ignoring the typos and assuming those got fixed. […]
4 stars — Guess who has a crying headache now? Oh, that would be me!!! I wasn’t sure how I was going to like this one, as it’s a bit out of my wheelhouse in a couple of ways: a) I don’t tend to read historical; and b) it was written as a series of […]
3.5 stars — This was one of those ones where I felt a bit conflicted. I was drawn right into this story, and after having been a bit burned out, I was so excited to be pulled into reading again. But our heroes, particularly Miles, were really volatile characters, and occasionally that made me uncomfortable. […]
I LOVED this story but the AUDIO made it the best audiobook I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. Iggy Toma is a master at inflection and depth. He played the females voices so well I thought it was two people! I really loved it, so much so that I’m gonna try to find […]
