4.5 stars — I’m not sure what I was expecting from Fizzy’s book, but this wasn’t it…in the BEST possible way. Fizzy was delightfully exuberant, unapologetically herself, totally sex positive, and yet lost in such a unique way. I’m sure I’ve read a heroine like her, but trust me when I say it’s rare. I […]
3.5 stars — This one was kind of slow for me. And I think that part of that is because I listened instead of read. The narrator’s style just didn’t work for me. The funny thing is that I can see how it works well with the style of book that this was, but I […]
2.5 stars — Eh. This one was kind of underwhelming for me. I think the book put more stock into the over the top antics than in the characters, which is what some readers are looking for…I’m just not that reader. I love me a quirky town and quirky characters, but for some reason this […]
4.5 stars — Well wow, there is definitely no sophomore slump in this series! I was worried at the beginning, because Isadora is so closed off, I wasn’t sure I would connect with her, or with them together, but I wholeheartedly did! I really ended up loving Isadora. Yes, she was shy and reserved and […]
OVERALL: 3 stars — I started reading this anthology in September of *2017*. I read a few, then set it aside. Then I’d read a story, then set it aside. There were a few good ones, but not as many as I’d probably like in an anthology. A LOT of the stories were more fan […]
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 […]
3.5 stars — This book started out pretty solidly, and I was actually laughing at bits here and there. Then I hit a snag, and I mostly set that snag aside, but I don’t know…I guess in the end it was harder to suspend my disbelief by the end. I’ll start with the narrators. I’ve […]
2.5 stars — Well, that was a bit of a disappointment. Honestly, if I wasn’t reading it for a challenge, I might have DNF’d it. It’s not a bad book, but it is kinda boring, and needless to say I was NOT compelled. Here’s the thing: Shelby seems like she should be a fucking badass […]
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 […]
