Review + Excerpt: The Hot Shot by Kristen Callihan

Review + Excerpt: The Hot Shot by Kristen Callihan

At first glance you might think this could be just another shallow, thinly developed new(ish) adult sports romance. However it is quite easy to refute those thoughts when you’re up past your usual bedtime by three hours and cursing the 6am alarm because you can’t stop/won’t stop reading.

Review: The Friend Zone by Kristen Callihan

Kristen Callihan brings her A game with The Friend Zone! I loved this steamy romance from start to finish. I marked three books as DNF this week. I feel like I do that more frequently than a lot of people because I just don’t have much patience and I have so many books to read, but that is a record by far. Nothing held my attention, nothing was getting me excited. I didn’t even feel drawn to anything when I was looking through books on my list. So I just randomly, half-heartedly picked one.
