The Family You Make by Jill Shalvis

The Family You Make by Jill Shalvis

4.5 stars — I don’t know if it was the contrast with the previous book I read, but I was immediately captured by Jane and Levi’s story.  Part of that is the situation at the start, talk about intense!!  And part of that was just the easy depth and dimension of our characters from the […]

Holiday Queen by Claire Marti

Holiday Queen by Claire Marti

2.5 stars — Welp, these freebies can often be a toss up, and this time I just ended up on the wrong side of the coin flip.  Sometimes you find a new author to love, and sometimes it just doesn’t match.  This was the latter. If I hadn’t been desperate to try to achieve my […]

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — ON REREAD: 3.5 stars — Since this was one of my earliest indie Kindle reads, I really wasn’t sure how it was going to be rereading it over a decade later.  And while I definitely didn’t get as sucked in or emotionally invested, it actually wasn’t as bad as I […]

Burn For Me by Ilona Andrews

Burn For Me by Ilona Andrews

3.5 stars — While the plot of this one was very fast and engaging, the romance aspect actually detracted for me.  But to be fair, this is just a huge mismatch personal taste-wise as far as that aspect goes. I started listening to this one on audio since my library didn’t have the ebook.  And […]

To Love, Honor and Disobey by Natalie Anderson

To Love, Honor and Disobey by Natalie Anderson

2.5 stars — I still can’t decide whether to round up or down.  The problem is I was SOOOO bored at the end, that I kind of forget what I enjoyed at the beginning to keep me reading… Seriously though, I do judge Harlequins differently, b/c I know they just have a different mandate than […]

Southern Kicks by Cassie Mae

Southern Kicks by Cassie Mae

3.5 stars — This was a pretty cute little story, dealing with topics of life change and grief, but ultimately still left me feeling light.  There were moments that I wish I had understood the changes more, but I think that was partly because I was distracted while reading. I appreciated that both Austin and […]

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 […]
