The Prom Kiss by Maggie Dallen

The Prom Kiss by Maggie Dallen

4.5 stars — Dudes!  This was so a Lenore book!  I just ended it with the stupidest goofy grin on my face, I can’t even tell you!!  Ms. Dallen definitely has a formula for this series, but this one worked PERFECTLY for me from start to finish.  The difference between this one and the other […]

The Holiday Kiss by Maggie Dallen

The Holiday Kiss by Maggie Dallen

4.5 stars — Wow, I think Ms. Dallen has a formula.  As with The Candy Cane Kiss, I was dismayed with the attitude and inner thoughts of Luke at the beginning of this story.  He was…not nice.  He was seriously insensitive (probably from being a bit self-involved), and hence a bit of a bully and […]

Qualify by Vera Nazarian

3.5 stars — Well hmmm…  The first (at least) 1/3 of this book was BORING as all get out.  I wasn’t grabbed AT ALL, I didn’t connect with any of the characters, and nothing interesting happened (just a lot of detailed description of every single day).  I was seriously starting to wonder why my friends […]

Taming the Rebel by Dawn Klehr

Taming the Rebel by Dawn Klehr

3.5 stars — This one started off fairly strong, but petered out a teensy bit at the end for me. Rebel was actually pretty hilarious throughout the story.  She was snarky and sassy, and just fun to be in the head of.  She reminded me a LOT of Isis from the Lovely Vicious series.  She […]

My Mistletoe Mix-Up by Judy Corry

My Mistletoe Mix-Up by Judy Corry

4.5 stars — Wow, another great YA holiday novella!!  Again, touched on some tough subjects and had characters that were so easy to connect with.  Honestly?  This one surprised me with how much I liked it.  I think I was worried about the bad boy aspect… But Logan was freaking adorable.  I loved that this former […]

Jayda’s Christmas Wish by Amy Sparling

Jayda’s Christmas Wish by Amy Sparling

5 stars — Now THIS was what I was looking for in a cute YA Christmas novella!  It had everything I wanted: characters struggling with tough topics over the holidays, a sense of Christmas spirit, and a hero and heroine that I could fall in love with! Jayda felt very authentic for her age.  She […]

The Candy Cane Kiss by Maggie Dallen

The Candy Cane Kiss by Maggie Dallen

4.5 stars — OK, so the oddest thing is that this book contained a jerk hero too, and yet I loved it so much more than the previous book I just finished reading.  I mean, I was worried when I started it and Lucas was HARSH with a capital HAR.  And not just in his […]
