Kiss Her Once for Me by Alison Cochrun

Kiss Her Once for Me by Alison Cochrun

4.5 stars — This one had so many unbelievably cute moments in it, and it was balanced perfectly by depth of character, and all those challenges so many of us deal with as adults. I loved how unique and REAL both of our MCs were.  They weren’t perfect cookie cutter romance heroines, they were so […]

Love and Other Flight Delays by Denise Williams

Love and Other Flight Delays by Denise Williams

4.5 stars — I actually read these novellas totally out of order and finished this one last, but that didn’t impact my enjoyment at all!  I wasn’t sure what I was going to get with these two characters, but what I got was freaking adorable.  I loved the crushes, and the tentativeness, and the blushes, […]

With You Forever by Chloe Liese

With You Forever by Chloe Liese

4.5 stars — This one just hit for me.  There was something about Axel and Rooney that had me captivated even from the previous books.  They are such a study in contrasts in some ways, but seeing them find safety in one another was so rewarding. I feel like I got a completely different impression […]

Do You Take This Man by Denise Williams

Do You Take This Man by Denise Williams

4 stars — I liked this one more than I was expecting to, especially after having read a few of the lower reviews and assuming I would feel similarly…but maybe because I lowered my expectations, it reverse psychology’d me?  I don’t know, but I’ll take it. Honestly, breaking this book down, I really shouldn’t have […]

4.5 stars — I kind of avoided this book b/c I was afraid it wouldn’t live up to my expectations, but the funny thing is that my expectations were kind of wrong in some ways, and it took me to places I wasn’t expecting but that seriously delighted me.  So the lesson is: stop procrastinating […]

Awkward Love by Riley Hart

Awkward Love by Riley Hart

4.5 stars — OK, this one was absolutely fucking adorable, and I loved it from start to finish. Jameson was so cute and awkward and nerdy, he was just delightful.  He was also brilliant, thoughtful, and caring. Honestly?  Will was the surprise hero for me.  He had that facade of cockiness, just like his friend […]

Stupid Love by Riley Hart

Stupid Love by Riley Hart

4.5 stars — This one started out cute, but I also wasn’t necessarily connecting with their bantering as well as I’d hoped…it was a 3.5 star type book.  But about half way through this book totally skyrocketed into 5 star territory for me, and I loved the ending!  So I settled on something in between. […]
