3.5 stars — I was worried about starting this book, b/c I was getting over COVID and I didn’t want my brain fog to ruin my reading experience, you know? But I should have trusted Ms. Bowen more, she seems to be able to cut through so much of that and always suck me in. Vera […]
4.5 stars — Well colour me surprised!! I never would have guessed that Sofia’s book would challenge Willa/Jackson’s for top spot! And I genuinely don’t know if I could pick, I enjoyed them both for so many reasons. I really love the idea of taking a character that romance readers have been taught to dislike, […]
4.5 stars — Yay for exceeded expectations! I was definitely super looking forward to this book from the moment I met Willa in the first book, even if I was less sure of Jackson. And I devoured this book! It just hit so many spots for me, you know?? We all have our different tastes […]
3.5 stars — I’ve only recently gotten into historical romance, and I’m probably pretty picky about it. While this didn’t wow me like Ms. Kleypas or Ms. Dare, for a debut it was pretty solid. This was my first time listening to Ms. Jasicki, but I really enjoyed her. It’s funny, something about her accent […]
4.5 stars — Huh. I probably should have reread the blurb before reading the book, and then I wouldn’t have been quite so startled with the turn of events. It’s weird how things are hinted in blurbs, but then you forget, and suddenly the author is murdering all your emotions. Another rollercoaster ride of a […]
4.5 stars — After reading Devil in Spring, I knew I needed to go back and read Evie and Sebastian’s book, and it didn’t disappoint. I can’t believe how much I enjoyed this one, considering that Sebastian could be a real dick at times. I will admit I wish that we had learned a bit […]
4.5 stars — This one surprised me with how much I loved it. Both narrators were new for me, but I enjoyed them both. They had great pacing, great emotions, and pretty good distinct voices. Mr. Griffith nailed Ethan’s kindness and occasional innocence. Ms. McKenna NAILED Naomi’s dryness, and the balance between her hard edges […]
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! […]
3.5 stars — This one started off really strongly, I was totally intrigued by Roxy and Sanders! But the book fizzled for me…maybe it was my mood, I have no idea. Honestly, I don’t mind insta-love/lust…depends on how it’s done. I definitely felt that immediate connection between Roxy and Sanders on the dance floor — […]
3.5 stars — I think I wanted to love this one more than I did. The problem is that it was kind of slow and uneventful…I kept waiting for the stakes to be upped…or something. I don’t even know. I just found it to be a nice sweet book, but I wasn’t that invested in […]
