Memphis by Ginger Scott

Memphis by Ginger Scott

3.5 stars — I love this author, but I had a hell of a time staying engaged in this book.  I honestly can’t tell if it was my mood, or the book, or perhaps a mix of the two (the book exacerbated by my mood).  I would find my mind wandering constantly, and I would have […]

The Rule Maker by Jennifer Blackwood

The Rule Maker by Jennifer Blackwood

3 stars — I think I wanted to like this one more than I did, I’m bummed that books that are hits with others don’t seem to be working for me.  Which is not to say I didn’t enjoy myself, but I did find myself avoiding reading, and at times having to read paragraphs over […]

Crazy Pucking Love by Cindi Madsen

Crazy Pucking Love by Cindi Madsen

4.5 stars — While I originally did get this one from NetGalley, I procrastinated on it so long, I actually bought my own copy… I loved this one so much because I loved both characters.  Dane was everything I was hoping for, damaged but also funny, sweet, and caring…and suffering from a little bit of […]

Anatomy of a Player by Cindi Madsen

Anatomy of a Player by Cindi Madsen

4 stars — I don’t know why, but I was cautious about this story…worried it wouldn’t be my thing.  But I was surprised by how much I liked both characters, and this one just fit in so well with the series! Whitney had won me over by the end of the first book in the […]

Sacked by Jen Frederick

Sacked by Jen Frederick

3.5 stars — This was a fun sports story, and in general I liked both characters, but it was just missing something to really wow me. Knox was a bit of a dichotomy to me…he could be sweet and romantic, he had strong convictions, worked very hard, was extremely disciplined, all that good stuff.  I admired […]

Beard Science by Penny Reid

Beard Science by Penny Reid

5 stars — Well would you look at that!!  I LOVED this one!!  Which surprised the heck out of me, b/c I was uncertain about Cletus in the previous books…he seemed…sociopathic in some ways.  Just too smart for his own good, and I was wondering how I was going to fall in love with him, […]

Game of Hearts by Cathy Yardley

Game of Hearts by Cathy Yardley

5 stars — You know when you eat an amazing meal of your favourite foods, and when you’re finished you slump back in your chair with a smile of pure giddiness and satisfaction on your face?  Yeah, that’s what I looked like when I finished this book.  I’m not sure I’ll even be able to […]

Truth or Beard by Penny Reid

Truth or Beard by Penny Reid

4.5 stars — Yay!!!  Looks like this series might be a hit for me!!  I can’t tell you how excited that makes me, b/c so many of my friends LOVE Ms. Reid, and I’ve enjoyed her books, but with fairly strong caveats.  So it’s really relieving to be able to say that Grin & Beard […]

Royally Endowed by Emma Chase

Royally Endowed by Emma Chase

4.5 stars — Every time I read a book by Ms. Chase, I’m reminded why I love her.  There’s just something about each and every one of her characters that draws me in, makes me laugh, makes me feel for them, even when they’re all entirely different.  And their interactions are beyond amazing!  Always witty […]

Until You’re Mine by Cindi Madsen

Until You’re Mine by Cindi Madsen

4.5 stars — OK, that one ended with a freaking bang man.  I was actually a little wary at the beginning, b/c while I was enjoying myself, I worried it might not be a complete winner for me personally purely based on the focus on Shane’s muscles…which, you’re going to say, are you nuts Lenore?  […]
