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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
2.5 stars — This book wasn’t bad per say, but it was very very meh for me. If it hadn’t been a NetGalley, and I wasn’t buddy reading it, I probably would have DNFd it. I could see a lot of potential, but in the end the word I would use to describe it is […]
3.5 stars — This was a fun, light and steamy romance! As always, Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan gave fantastic performances. I was a little thrown off by Mr. Morgan’s choice to give Mark an accent, but that’s what I do…notice irrelevant stuff. I hate writing reviews like these, because I genuinely enjoyed the book, […]
3.5 stars — This book did not start off strong. Neither of our main characters were all that endearing, especially at the start. Lila was uptight, overreactive, comes across a bit like a bitch, can be judgey. You don’t get to see a lot of her good qualities off the bat. But luckily I was […]
3.5 stars — Well, huh. I started off this one and could totally see what 2010’s Lenore was attracted to, but I just don’t have patience for that anymore. So I was annoyed by the book, but still couldn’t put it down. I expected it to end very meh. But then, despite the persistent toxic […]
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 […]
4.5 stars — Wow. That was nothing like what I was expecting. I mean, I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that. I was sucked in almost immediately. The first few chapters had a bit of a Titanic retelling feel, but that’s as long as that lasted (obviously). All the same, it […]
4.5 stars — I was just telling my hubby that this book fucking delighted me, and the series does in general, and it’s just so hard to convey why. I think the dark fey are just over the top and ridiculous and yet endearing and adorable. They say some of the most outrageous things, and Tor […]
