Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon

Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon

4 stars — Well that was EXACTLY what I was looking for.  I will admit that the majority of books I read are contemporary romance…and I love them.  But I was sort of in a funk, couldn’t get into any books, couldn’t decide what to read, so after reading my dear co-blogger’s review (and seeing […]

Rising Star by Susannah Nix

Rising Star by Susannah Nix

4 stars — I absolutely LOVED the first 70% of this book.  It made me swoon, it gave me the awww’s, it just fulfilled something I was looking for.  The last 30% wasn’t bad or anything, it just took a turn towards probably the more realistic, and I don’t think I was in the right […]

Beard with Me by Penny Reid

Beard with Me by Penny Reid

4.5 stars — I’m having a hard time getting my thoughts together and out of my head, this book just shook me like that. I didn’t bawl in like I was expecting to…and I think all the warnings and such made me wary of this book, so my reading of it was very drawn out.  But […]

Love and Libations (Holidays and Heroes #2) by Patricia D. Eddy

Love and Libations (Holidays and Heroes #2) by Patricia D. Eddy

I really liked this book.  It was better than the first one, which I enjoyed a lot as well. This story was way more emtionally intense due to the domestic abuse.  I suppose I should warn folks with triggers here.  It gets pretty graphic.  I was surprised how much I connected with these characters because […]

Rabi and Matthew by L.A. Witt

Rabi and Matthew by L.A. Witt

3.5 stars — This was a diverse read that felt like it was there for more than just face value.  We weren’t just told that Rabi was Muslim and Pakistani, we got to see a bit of his life and some of his traditions (such as prayer on Fridays).  I really appreciated that.  Sometimes I […]

Maybe Never by Sadie Allen

Maybe Never by Sadie Allen

3 stars — Hmmm…  OK.  So this book frustrated me.  There were parts that really sucked me in and kept me enthralled.  But there were also parts that made me feel uncomfortable.  And we’re going to start with those and get them out of the way. Now, I might just be super sensitive, I’m not […]

Fragments of Ash by Katy Regnery

Fragments of Ash by Katy Regnery

4.5 stars — So I’ve had an up and down ride with Ms. Regnery’s fairytales, and I was worried about whether this one was going to be a hit for me or not.  I am so extremely relieved to say I LOVED it!  It sucked me in right from the start, and made it hard […]

Stronger Than You Know by Jolene Perry

Stronger Than You Know by Jolene Perry

4.5 stars — So what do I do when I finish an amazing book by an author that’s left me with a huge book hangover??  Pick up another book by that author that I’ve also been afraid to read b/c of feelz!!!  Why am I not doing this more often?  Because this book just 100% […]
