The Wallflower Wager by Tessa Dare

The Wallflower Wager by Tessa Dare

4.5 stars — Wow, it’s so hard to decide, but I think this was my favourite of the 3 so far! Still absolutely adored Mary Jane Wells as the narrator.  She’s so consistent with her voices, with distinguishing between thoughts and dialogue, and she NAILS both the humour and the emotion of our characters. Penny was […]

Eryx by Jaclyn Osborn

Eryx by Jaclyn Osborn

3.5 stars — I have not read the first book, Axios, so I can verify this one can be completely read as a standalone.  From the reviews, it sounds like there’s a LOT of repeat, instead of just a few fill in the gaps scenes from a different POV.  Which makes it great for those […]

Resonance Mates Series by Bianca D’Arc

Resonance Mates Series by Bianca D’Arc

3.5 stars — It’s been a LOOOOONNNNNGGGG time since I read this book.  So long that it must have been before I joined Goodreads, because I didn’t even have these books on my TBR there. Is it weird that I enjoyed the world-building/plot stuff more than the erotica?  There were definitely some good steamy scenes, […]

Beef Cake by Jiffy Kate

Beef Cake by Jiffy Kate

4.5 stars — This was a FANTASTIC new addition to this series!!  I did read Stud Muffin before this one, and while I’m personally glad I did, you wholeheartedly could read this one as a standalone without missing anything. Frankie was such an intriguing heroine!  She was SO CLOSED OFF it was insane!  But for […]

The Sweet Gum Tree by Katherine Allred

The Sweet Gum Tree by Katherine Allred

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars (rounded up) — this book was fabulous but emotionally draining… So much happened, and it really felt like a real story, where things were not perfect and suddenly happily ever after. The love between Nick and Alix was inspiring…even as it went through the ringer. I think I fell in love […]

The Academy by Emmaline Andrews

The Academy by Emmaline Andrews

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — Fabulous! If you love movies like She’s The Man, this will fit your bill. The main plot isn’t unique, but I loved the new setting of in the future. What a strange imagination the author has, and it was definitely not a utopic future. Not always as lighthearted as the […]

Sweet Cheeks by K. Bromberg

Sweet Cheeks by K. Bromberg

3.5 stars — I made the colossal mistake of listening to an audiobook that has a lot of surface similarities to this book at the same time as reading this book, and I will admit I occasionally got my wires crossed.  I had to set the audiobook aside so that would stop happening.  And a […]

Cake by J. Bengtsson

Cake by J. Bengtsson

4.5 stars — OK, so this was one of those books that for the most part was 10++++++ stars, but then had a few niggly spots that bugged me, so I averaged out to 4.5 stars.  Don’t question me, there’s no logic to make this make sense. I honestly spent so much of the time […]

The Rain Trilogy by B.B. Easton

The Rain Trilogy by B.B. Easton

4 stars — Well, that was a super intriguing premise, though really dark and disturbing as well. Rain and Wes go through a LOT.  I was intrigued by what was going on with Rain, but I also started to lose patience when it took so long to get answers.  I think I was anticipating Rain’s […]

Something So Unscripted by Natasha Madison

Something So Unscripted by Natasha Madison

3.5 stars — After not enjoying the first book in the series as much, I skipped to this one because it was the one that initially piqued my interest.  I think I might have been more critical if this had been my first book, but comparing it to book 1, the author has definitely improved.  […]
