4 stars — This book was equal parts 5++++ stars and 3 stars. So I averaged at 4 (though sometimes I think it’s more 4.5 rounded down). I found myself skimming ahead at some of the parts where I was sure misunderstandings were abounding (though ironically it wasn’t what I thought in one particular instance), cause […]
3.5 stars — There were some absolutely shining moments in this book, moments where I laughed out loud, steamy moments that definitely worked for me. But there were also some little nitpicky things that bothered me, and if you know me at all, you know I’m not huge on miscommunication stuff in books. And this […]
4 stars — This was just the kind of light, fun, sexy romp I was looking for. Which is not to say that it was without depth, just that there was enough other fun stuff to keep me hooked and entertained. Our characters were hella complicated. They were both fucked up by stressful childhoods, and […]
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 — Ellie!!! I totally forgot that this was an Ellie I already knew, so bonus fun for anyone who is a fan of the True North series. (but you don’t miss out on anything if you haven’t read about her already) I did not expect to love Patrick as much as I did! […]
4.5 stars — Wow. This one just grabbed me, sucked me in and wouldn’t let me go…I kind of love that feeling. I wasn’t sure how I was going to cope with a grumpy/jerk hero, b/c that’s not something I gravitate towards AT ALL. But there was SO MUCH going on underneath Max, he was […]
3.5 stars — For me, this was a book with very diverse ratings depending on what I’m talking about. The characters/story/depth/emotion were like 4-4.5. The writing could sometimes be more at a 3, and maybe it’s just me. I’m left feeling very torn, b/c the thing I loved I LOVED! Let’s start with the writing, […]
4.5 stars — I can’t decide if I liked this book more than the first, or just the same? I think I might have enjoyed it even more!! Which is yay!!! Mary Jane Wells continued to do a fabulous job with narration. I occasionally found it hard to determine the speaker, specifically because she would […]
3.5 stars — This is a case of a book being almost perfect for me, but failing to get out of its own way in certain areas. Like seriously, I know lots of people are tired of this trope, but I still gravitate towards it — so the book didn’t need to work very hard. […]
