Blood and Bonbons by Melissa Nicole

Blood and Bonbons by Melissa Nicole

4 stars — This was a fun start to a series.  I’m not entirely sure what to expect from the next few books — love triangle?  Reverse Harem?  Minimal romance, more mystery?  It’s a…*cough* mystery.  *rolls eyes* I really enjoyed Everly, and felt like I could connect with her super easily.  She was cautious, kind, […]

An Urchin of Means by April White

An Urchin of Means by April White

4.5 stars — Ahhhh!!!  This was sooooo good!  It totally lived up to my expectations for Ringo and Charlie’s new life together, and I’m only sad that there aren’t more books in the series already written!  What am I going to do with myself? I honestly COULD NOT put this down once I started listening […]

Smut by Karina Halle

Smut by Karina Halle

3.5 stars — There were parts of this book that were fantastic, but alas I think this author and I just aren’t quite a match.  For all that this one is billed as a romantic comedy, I didn’t really laugh that much…mismatch.  And as I’m sure you’re tired of reading and wondering why I still […]

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

4.5 stars — Uh oh.  This is going to be one of those reviews.  I genuinely don’t know how to write this one, because I’m still sitting over hear absorbing it…and recovering from a crying headache, that was probably worse than it should have been but what can I say?  I’m on my period. I […]

Slapshot by Rebecca Jenshak

Slapshot by Rebecca Jenshak

3.75 stars — Honestly, I don’t really know why this one isn’t a full 4 stars…probably my mood.  So for all intents and purposes, just consider this a 4 star review and let’s ignore Lenore’s weird need to be precise about shit. It’s been quite a while since I read Dylan and Chastity’s book, and […]

Hard Pass by Sara Ney

Hard Pass by Sara Ney

2.5 stars — This book profoundly underwhelmed me.  And it started off really good too, so that’s a bummer. First some background: I have a huge beef with society and its standards of beauty…and it filters over to my love of romances and the completely generic cookie cutter heroes we always get (abs for days, […]

Only When It’s Us by Chloe Liese

Only When It’s Us by Chloe Liese

3.5 stars — I don’t know what it is with this book, but I’m having a really hard time figuring out my thoughts on it.  Let’s just say that this audio took me forever to finish because I kept pausing and playing sudoku games on my phone instead because it couldn’t hold my attention. I […]

Let’s Talk About Love by Claire Kann

Let’s Talk About Love by Claire Kann

3.5 stars — I absolutely loved the ace representation in this book, even if it isn’t the same flavour as what I experience.  There were many moments where I understood what Alice was feeling, and I both hurt for her and was annoyed with her. On the surface, I feel like I totally should have […]

If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy

If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy

4.5 stars — This book surprised me in the best possible ways, and I made the mistake of starting it before bed, which consequently had me up until almost 2am reading.  A previous Lenore wouldn’t have been able to put it down even then, but I’m getting old people… I thought I knew what I […]
