I need more resolution for satisfaction. Thoughts on Faceoff *stares at everyone* *takes a deep breath* *goes back to staring* Okay. So this is the second book I’ve read in this series and it ended just as abruptly as the first. Like, I had to go back and see if I missed something because the […]
Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it. Thoughts on Breakaway I didn’t love this book. I thought it had its moments, but the reasons Remi kept distancing herself from Jase bothered me. As a teacher, you’d think she’d sit down and have a rational discussion when things went bad instead of running off without a word. […]
Interesting trope, not a solid execution. Thoughts on Romancing the Countess One reason I was drawn to Romancing the Countess is the not-common plot of hero’s and heroine’s spouses were having an affair and died, and TURNS OUT! hero and heroine were meant for each other anyway, so it all works out. You know, like […]
It’s the first Julia Quinn book! My Thoughts on Splendid As a writer, I found Splendid to be absolutely fascinating in terms of author development. (Or rather, seeing where JQ started.) Because… this early JQ book has little in common with some of my favorite JQ series, like the Bridgertons and Smythe-Smith. Splendid is like […]
Was slightly disappointed when it ended. Thoughts on Guarding a Notorious Lady I was sad when Guarding a Notorious Lady ended. Not because I was so enthralled I rushed to the ending only to be crushed with disappointment when the story ended. More because I never connected with the characters enough that their story didn’t […]
A wickedly feisty read with potential My Thoughts Sharon Karaa’s The Last Challenge has potential. The story is a mix of elements that range from humorous to sexy to straight-up odd. Some parts didn’t quite work out, in my opinion, while others I quite liked. Lauren is a twenty-five-year-old computer programmer who hasn’t found Mr. […]
Okay romance, but I needed more Thoughts on Blue Moon Over Bliss Lake You know when you’re in the mood for a sweet, quick read? Yeah, I thought I was. This book certainly fit the bill, but I really wasn’t feeling it once I started reading. I guess I’m just someone who likes their romance […]
Tangled plot with too many characters. Thoughts The Tower’s Alchemist On the surface, this is exactly the type of book I’d enjoy. I mean… NAZI WARLOCK VAMPIRES, people! I was REALLY looking forward to meeting those guys. Unfortunately, while the Nazi warlock vampires pulled their weight (as much as Nazi warlock vampires do, that is), […]
A steamy story that ultimately misfires. My Thoughts Every genre has its fans and followers, as well as dabblers and detractors. Erotica has been a growing genre for several years, perhaps more so recently thanks to a shot of scintillation thanks to so-called “mommy porn.” (Fifty Shades of Grey, I’m looking at you!) As a […]
