4 stars — This was totally entertaining, and while I bet I would have enjoyed the cameos more if I’d read the original Masters & Mercenaries series, I didn’t feel lost. Just like I don’t think anyone would be lost without reading the Nights in Bliss series, but you definitely got some fun cameos out […]
4.5 stars — I started off absolutely loving this one — it was everything I love in a Christina Lauren book: spunky heroine, sweet hero, moments of comedy, interesting and different characters (both main and secondary). And an interesting and unique premise. Even the push and pull between Lily and Leo was palpable — struggling with […]
3.5 stars — If you’ve missed the Hashtag series, and want something extremely similar, then you are going to love this story. While for me it didn’t have the same connections and chemistry as #Nerd, it was still entertaining. NOTE: if you have triggers, please please search out trigger warnings for this book (there is […]
4.5 stars — I think I’m becoming a Devney Perry fan. This series is my first real foray, but there’s something about the way she writes romance that just works for me. There’s enough push and pull in a lot of areas of the plot, but it doesn’t drag out the relationship necessarily. You actually get […]
4.5 stars — I absolutely loved the progression of the romance in this story. It felt very natural and real. Obviously I enjoy romance of all kinds, but it was refreshing to have this one continue to bypass and step over romance tropes over and over again. They both may have been opposed to a relationship […]
4.5 stars — OK, I’m just going to say it. This is my favourite series in the Smartypants Romance Universe. It never lets me down. It always brings so much more than just a romance (which, there’s nothing wrong with romance — I fucking LOVE romance…it’s all I read). But seriously, it introduces me to […]

Summer has gotten away from us, and we may have bitten off more than we can chew. Regardless, don’t forget to check out Stephanie’s blog, Once […]
4.5 stars — I got sweet, sexy, playful, intense, and drooling over both food and Gunnar. 😉 It was my first time listening to Vanessa Edwin, and she was a lot of fun. I loved the way she narrated her “hormones”, and I have a feeling I enjoyed it more listening to her than if […]
4 stars — Honestly? This felt like a non-menage version of the Nights in Bliss, Colorado series Ms. Blake originally wrote under the pseudonym Sophie Oak. Which sounds like it should be a criticism, but honestly? That’s one of my favourite guilty pleasure reads, so I absolutely did NOT care that so much of the […]
4 stars — After rereading book 2 in this series, I *had* to go back and reread the first one. There’s something about the whole premise of being trapped in a mall, trying to foil bad guys that just appeals to me. And I almost wonder if I enjoyed it even more the second time […]
