I’m still a bit traumatized by this book. It was going so well until the last 3 chapters…then… Like many who read Fourth Wing, I was anxiously awaiting the release of Iron Flame. I’d pre-ordered WAY too many versions of this title, but I was ready. I re-read Fourth Wing the weekend before and was […]
i don’t even know where to start with this review, but I’m going to say this right away. Rebecca Yarros jumped into the fantasy realm with two feet and absolutely blew me away. I’ve read most of her contemporary books (which I have adored) but this has to be my favorite of anything she’s written. […]
This book is everything (at least for right now 😍). Picking up where the Liar’s Crown left off, Meren has been taken by Eidolan, posing as her sister, leaving the rest of the group from the Shadowland and Wanderers to figure out a way to get her back. What happens next is quite sweeping as […]
I’m pretty sure I spent a fair amount of time like this while reading ALITF. Holy hell, Batman! I don’t know how Jennifer L. Armentrout managed to balance the angst, smexy and action, but she did and this book was everything. Ash and Sera had already topped Cas and Poppy in my mind, but I […]
Southern Sunrise brings closure to the first story arc of this series. Our hero, Ethan, was a child through the first 3 books. We meet him here at 21 then again at 26/27 as he leaves town under a cloud and then comes home to mend fences and reclaim the love of his live. I […]
I’m sitting here not really know what to say about What if it Hurts. Part of me loved it – especially the creativity and craft of the story telling. Part of me hated it because had the characters been real people, there would have been great harm done on multiple fronts. The premise behind What […]
Oh my gosh – this was such a fun second chance/surprise baby read! I loved Luca and Eliahn (and Aiden) and the road they take after their reconnection seven years after a fateful long weekend together. From shock to finding a way to make a family dynamic work to rekindling a potential romance, their adventures […]
Every now and then an author creates a secondary character that makes you wonder about who they are what makes them tick. For Natasha Madison, that character is Vivienne. We have seen her since the second of the Something So books (Matthew & Karrie) and she has routinely popped up as part of the extended […]
I’m not sure there is anything Marie Force cannot do well! In Deceived by Desire, she returns to her early 20th century historical series. This installment is set in Newport, RI and features a previously seen secondary character, Aubrey. This stand-alone effort focuses on Aubrey’s “scandalous” relationship with Maeve – an Irish woman he meets while […]
Marie Force is a go to author for me, so when I found out she was trying a new genre, I was excited to see the spin she would put on it. Add in the fact that I also enjoy historical reads, this was something I had to try. Her debut foray into a historical romance […]
Normally, I can finish a book and write a review fairly quickly. Buried wasn’t a “normal” book, I had to kind of “be” with the book for a little bit. From the blurb, we know that an NFL footballer player gets trapped in a bunker with 4 other people. As we get into the book, […]
This was a fun book. I always like when the big alpha male falls, and falls hard, for the one woman that should appeal to him. Chase is the playboy cop who doesn’t ever think he’ll get married, so he plays the field. Livia is a woman who’s convinced the world is going to end […]
Penelope Ward knows how to write a one hell of an engaging story. ROOMHATE had me hooked; from the cover, the blurb and ultimately the broken relationship between two best friends who find a way to leave the past behind and move forward together. Justin and Amelia grew up as best friends, but when Amelia discovered […]
