In this quietly suspenseful novel, K.A. Tucker expertly weaves a tale of secrets, and truths. Burying Water is delicately layered with intrigue and mystery, and it holds completely and totally, from beginning to end. In what has to be my favorite K. A. Tucker novel since One Tiny Lie, she creates a story of second chances and love - true love. I'm struggling with writing this review; I've started, deleted, and restarted it a few times, because I just wasn't able to get down on paper what I felt while reading this story, and how I felt after. … [Read more...]
Review: Reclaiming the Sand
In this intensely beautiful novel, A. Meredith Walters took a hold of me, mind, body, and soul, completely consumed me and drowned me in this story of heartbreak, redemption, unconditional love, humanity, and joy. In a style that is only her own, she weaved a tale that harmoniously balanced reality and romance. Flynn and Ellie have a complicated history. They used to share a secret friendship, one of simplicity and joy, but that friendship turned to ash. Six years later, Ellie is living a monotonous, uneventful life, working in a convenience … [Read more...]
Review: What If
Quietly beautiful, reserved and mysterious, What If is a story of second chances and secrets. It's a tale of transformation and revelation. Rebecca Donovan delivers something truly excellent. When I first read the synopsis for this story, I originally thought it would be an edgy, second-chance romance, something a bit different than what I'm used to, but still within my wheelhouse. This story was more. I was only a few chapters in when I got that feeling. You know that feeling? It's indescribable. The one a book addict gets when they just know … [Read more...]
Black Lies Review
An extravagant melodrama: fun, sexy, suspenseful, and exciting! An engrossing, entertaining story that left me wanting more, more, more from this author. Read it! Hype! That four letter word that can make or break a book. Personally, hype has been known to ruin a read for me, more often than it has enhanced it, and Black Lies, came upon me with a lot of fanfare. So you can understand that I was nervous about trying this one, which is why I waited. I waited until I was ready, and then I took a chance on this twisted romance. This review is … [Read more...]
Bright Side Review
A breathtaking, beautiful novel. Kim Holden’s Bright Side has indelibly imprinted itself into my heart, and I’m sure that I’ll be thinking of Kate and her story for years to come. This book took a piece of me, a piece that I’ll happily part with, because what Holden has given me, the lessons and images that now fill that empty void, is worth more that I can say. I stayed up until the early morning hours to finish this book. I just couldn’t let it go. I couldn’t shut my mind off without knowing how it was going to end. Now that I’ve read the … [Read more...]
Lead Me Not
I don’t want this. If only it were true. Too bad want and need were two entirely different things. Sure, I didn’t want this. But my body sure as hell needed it. Lead Me Not by A. Meredith Winters is a rip-you-to-shreds, bleed-you-dry, wound-your-soul love story. This story will tear away all your preconceived notions, while still frustrating the shit out of you. It’s the tale of a tumultuous, tenuous love between a lost boy, the girl who tries to save him, and the siren that he can’t resist. Maxx is dangerous. He's the worst kind of bad … [Read more...]
Hate to Love You
I came upon this book while I was browsing Netgalley, and immediately added this to my to-read list after reading the blurb, (lies, drama, secrets, revelations, and redemption! How could I resist?) After reading it, I’m now sitting here deflated because I just realized that this is Elise Alden’s first novel, and I can’t stock up on her work like I usually do with authors that I fall in love with. I loved this novel. A coming of age, second chance love story, Hate to Love You is a fresh, juicy, engaging, debut novel. It’s such an amazing feeling … [Read more...]
Infinity + One
This book in one word: Magical After reading Making Faces and A Different Blue, I became convinced that Amy Harmon was an otherworldly being, transported from some far off place in the future, where they’ve already answered all the difficult questions about life, and she’s been placed on earth, disguised as an author to impart her wisdom. I love reading her books, because they have a mystical undertone, one that quenches my philosophical yearnings, while leaving me still with more questions. She’s a witch who’s woven her spell and I’m unable … [Read more...]
Love, in English
Wow wow wow!! I absolutely loved this book. I bought Love, in English on a whim after it was recommended by one of my favorite bloggers - Vilma! - and I am so glad I did. I'd never heard of Karina Halle before, so I wasn't aware of her previous work outside of contemporary romance. But none of that matters, because although she'd never written a mainstream romance before, this book was as close to perfect as any romance I've ever read! And I've read a lot! The characters in this book were so vibrant, so colorful, and bright; they shone like … [Read more...]
Wallbanger
❀Mini Review❀ This book in one word: Entertaining After I finished reading this book, I had a huge grin on my face! Wallbanger was a quick, quippy, quality romcom; a delightful read. I loved Simon and Caroline. Their banter was off-the-charts, hilarious, and the chemistry between these two was electric. The characters in this book were sexy and fun, and the pace was quick, the tone light. This is exactly the kind of book to read if you want a joyful escape. The levity of the plot shouldn't take away the from the fact that Alice Clayton … [Read more...]
