I have loved the writing duo Erin Watt, especially their book When It’s Real so I was excited for One Small Thing. Unfortunately, despite my best efforts, I couldn’t bring myself to finish it. I gave up at 45%, with no will left to go on. Some blame can be placed on the formatting, due to it being an ARC. But it flowed together so terribly, that it made it difficult to follow. Paragraphs ran into the next, and made scene changes especially confusing. Eventually, I was able to mostly ignore it. This book is the epitome of the reasons why … [Read more...]
Review: Almost Impossible by Nicole Williams
Almost Impossible is a sweet young adult story about first love, learning who you are, and discovering what life has to offer. And like every other Nicole Williams book I’ve read, I loved every bit of it. Jade is a teenage girl who has lived out most teenagers’ fantasies her whole life – traveling the world. She’s never stayed in one place for too long, so she decides to do just that the summer before her senior year. She moves in with her aunt and uncle to experience life as a “normal” teenager. I really liked Jade’s character. She’s … [Read more...]
Review: Even Money by Alessandra Torre
I didn’t know what to expect when I picked up Even Money. I’ve been a fan of Alessandra Torre for years – especially of her romantic suspense. And I’m not even someone who likes suspense. So naturally I was looking forward to this one, despite knowing very little about it. If you’re at all familiar with my reviews, then you know that I don’t even read the synopsis of a book before I read it. Let’s start with the negative stuff first, shall we? Not that it’s even really all that negative. I would say that for the first forty to fifty … [Read more...]
Review: I Flipping Love You by Helena Hunting
I Flipping Love You by Helena Hunting was a great little read! Not going to lie – I’m quite surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I thought it was funny, well written, and evenly paced. I truly could not put it down. Their meet-cute hooked me straight away and the momentum only built from there. The story's progression really allowed me to grow to love the characters, their story, and their journey towards the coveted HEA. The characters were very consistent and reliable and the hero gave me all the heart eyes! I loved … [Read more...]
Review: The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
I am so floored by The Kiss Quotient. What an absolutely lovely book. Helen Hoang has completely swept me off of my feet. I’ve said this a hundred times before, but I don’t read the synopsis of books anymore. I like to go in as blind as possible. I picked this one up based solely on recommendations from friends and because the cover is adorable. I thought it would be a mainstream contemporary romance that bordered more on women’s fiction. I thought it would be mild and sweet, and I was fairly certain I’d like it due to the reactions of so … [Read more...]
Review: In Bed with the Beast by Tara Sivec
I remember the first time I read a Tara Sivec book. It was 2012. I had just re-discovered my love of reading, and Seduction and Snacks had me laughing until I cried and my stomach muscles were sore. That’s not even an exaggeration. My husband kept looking at me like I was crazy. I’ve read a few since then, but it’s been a pretty long time since I picked one up. I don’t know why, but for some reason they stopped appealing to me. I’m basically fluent in sarcasm and her type of humor, but for some reason they just didn’t call to me. Until In Bed … [Read more...]
Review: Only Him by Melanie Harlow
Melanie Harlow delivers the swoon once again with Only Him, her latest second chance romance. Readers will be swept away by the romance between Dallas and Maren. Their love story is an irresistible one, where a high school love that was once defeated by assumptions is rekindled and then refined by the grace of maturity. As I get older these kinds of stories, where characters aren't hasty or thoughtless, are my favorite types. Ms. Harlow writes them well and it is easy to tell these kinds of characters and stories are ones she really enjoys … [Read more...]
Review: The Time in Between by Kristen Ashley
I’m a huge fan of Kristen Ashley. I’m a huge fan of her heroes, her heroines, the emotion she can evoke with even the simplest of words, and her writing style, though that admittedly took some time to get used to. I love just about everything she writes, but I especially love a good second chance romance. She was the one then and nothing changed in the time in between. The Time in Between got me right in the feels. Cady’s life was anything but easy, and there was a lot of emotion that revolved around those experiences. Her story with Coert … [Read more...]
Review: Melt for You by J.T. Geissinger
I absolutely LOVED this book. I was immediately drawn to this title after reading a friend's early review. I am so happy to say that it lived up to, and in many ways, exceeded her hype. As this is my first J.T. Geissinger novel I was apprehensive on her style, delivery, and overall author-reader compatibility that I've come to find in my most read and well-loved authors. Upon finishing Melt for You I immediately looked up the author's back list - I'm hoping that she will become another well-read and loved author for me. I found her humor … [Read more...]
Review: One Good Man by Emma Scott
One Good Man is one good little book! It is always so easy to recommend books from my favorite authors and I'm delighted to support them. However, the ease at which Emma Scott delivers characters and stories that leave me in a puddle of feelings overwhelms me some times. Most times, even. And now to do it in a little over one hundred pages? I don't have many words. Despite the lean page count Janey and Adrien's love story is rich with emotion and compelling characters giving it the weight a full length romance. If you're a die-hard … [Read more...]
