Play Smart by Aly Stiles

Play Smart by Aly Stiles

3 stars — Let me start this review with a confession: I’m not really an enemies to lovers fan.  I KNOW!  So why did I request this book right?  The thing is, on occasion, I really love an enemies to lovers book, because there’s always exceptions.  And I DO love me a nerdy/rockstar romance, so […]

Roman and Jewel by Dana L. Davis

4 stars — You know what?  This felt like a delicious guilty pleasure YA read. I’m a huge Broadway fan, so this was like bonus good for me — I loved the look into a new Broadway show.  And not only that, but there were lots of references to other musicals, and it was just so […]

The Purest Hook by Scarlett Cole

The Purest Hook by Scarlett Cole

4 stars — I don’t know, this one just worked for me.  I really loved that even though Dred and Pixie were seriously SO DIFFERENT, there was an undeniable connection and attraction between them that they couldn’t help exploring. This book definitely suffered from moments where I was like “OMG, investigate that!  Doesn’t that seem crazy??”  […]

4.5 stars — Wow.  This was exactly the kind of rockstar romance I was really looking forward to.  There was a rawness about it that just had me desperate to find out how things were going to turn out.  But it was married with a sass and humour that I’ve come to know and love […]

4 stars — I’m not sure what I expected from Quinn’s story, but apparently this wasn’t it.  And I don’t mean that in a bad way…or a good way.  Just an unexpected way.  There were certain aspects of this story that just dragged me in and wouldn’t let me go…but there were other parts that […]

Under the Spotlight by Angie Stanton

2.5 stars — Well…I guess this is one series I should NOT have finished.  I should have listened to my gut that had me avoiding reading Garrett’s book, b/c this one definitely disappointed.  Or maybe it’s that it lived down to my low expectations.  Basically, if you’re hoping that Garrett has a huge transformation, or […]

4.5 stars — OK, I was totally not expecting a Phantom of the Opera retelling!!  That delighted me.  I don’t know if it’s bad to ruin that, because it occurred to me slowly, more and more, as the book went on…but then again, it could bring people to the book who might not have taken […]
