3.5 stars — Hmmm…after rereading my review for book 2, it looks like this series might feel the same for me: good, but not great. I think this can happen a lot with author’s earlier works. This one had a pretty strong start, and I didn’t even mind the quick move to steamy scenes…sometimes that […]
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 […]
3.5 stars — I will admit I was a little bummed with this one. It was quick to read, as all of them are. It’s been awhile since I read any of the books in this series, so not sure if it’s me or the book — though I think it’s the book, and the […]
4 stars — This one surprised me a bit with the way things played out, and in particular Charlie’s character. She could be a bit hard to love and understand sometimes, but all the same I mostly did get what made her up. She was damaged in a different way than I was anticipating, and […]
3 stars — Womp womp. Some good stuff, but a LOT of toxicity that I just can’t not notice, you know? Ophelia had her moments of being strong and challenging — her attempt to foil Lysander with the interview for example made me laugh. And at least she wasn’t too ashamed of her own sexuality…kind […]
4.5 stars — I told Brett that this one was an amalgamation of some of my favourite tropes: secret identity, secret baby, celebrity…even a bit of second chance. And it fulfilled everything I love about those tropes and more. Basically, Lenore was a happy reader…well, listener. Jonas was NOTHING like I was expecting for a […]
3.5 stars — There were so many things I truly enjoyed about this story, but also a few things that were a bit meh. I actually genuinely liked both Eilish and Bryan on the whole. They were characters that had both made mistakes or rather were living with the consequences of their decisions. The problem is […]
4 stars — This book was so easy to fall into and devour…though at times with the secrets, I would flip ahead because I became impatient for my guesses to be confirmed. Truthfully, the whole intentionally keeping the reader in the dark through misdirection thing isn’t actually my favourite, and probably contributed to this not […]
4 stars — Parts of this book were total 5 stars, I was so dug in and invested I had swooping tummy syndrome. But other parts dragged and felt repetitive. The pacing just wasn’t consistent. I also believe that the book needed another editing pass (at minimum line/copy editing). Jojo was hard to picture sometimes, b/c she came […]
3.5 stars — This book was a mix of ups and downs for me! I was initially skeptical of the hero, but then quickly got sucked in by our MCs and their chemistry and all that good stuff. But somewhere along the way I started to get a bit bored, and my attention wandered. Ben […]
