Counterpoint by Hailey Frost
I picked up Counterpoint by Hailey Frost solely based off what I’d seen on TikTok. This was just not it. I felt so bored waiting for anything to happen. I felt like I was on a drive to nowhere as Harper and Simon drive back to her hometown. The set-up was great. The forced proximity […]
Moonblood by Jade Ambrosia
With a stunning cover and captivating synopsis, I was really looking forward to Moonblood by Jade Ambrosia. I was excited for a werewolf romance and a retelling of Selene and Endymion. Unfortunately, this left a lot to be desired. I couldn’t find much, if anything, of the myth and the story itself needed a lot of […]
Much Ado About Hating You by Sarah Echavarre Smith
Honestly, the cover for Much Ado About Hating You by Sarah Echavarre Smith is what sucked me into picking this up. Then, I saw JF Harding was a narrator and I was very excited to give the audiobook a listen. Unfortunately, this was a bit of good stuffed around immature and nonsensical plot/behavior and cringe fake fanfic. […]
Riding His Spaceship by Marian Pattechat
Riding His Spaceship by Marian Pattechat was a successful Stuff Your Kindle event grab! I saw the cover and wasn’t convinced, but the summary sold me and I’m glad it did! This was a cute and fun alien romance that has definitely put this author on my radar. There’s plot apart from the romance, but it […]
The Umbra King by Jamie Applegate Hunter
I picked up The Umbra King by Jamie Applegate Hunter while waiting for Obsessively Yours to be released. I was just in the mood for the type of MMC only Applegate Hunter can write. That’s basically all I knew going into this and it blew me away. This was so much more than I expected! There was […]
A Simple Twist of Fate by April Asher
When I first picked up A Simple Twist of Fate by April Asher, I thought this was going to be super deep and involved. I was expecting angst and romance with a side of single guardian. Instead, this was super cute and breezy. Despite being over 300 pages long, this really felt like it was 200 […]
Time Loops and Meet Cutes by Jackie Lau
Reading the synopsis for Time Loops and Meet Cutes by Jackie Lau had me expecting a very cute romance. And while it was cute and I really enjoyed the book, it was a lot deeper than I thought it would be. The build-up to romance was slower than I thought it would be. The first third feels […]
Bull Moon Rising by Ruby Dixon
Bull Moon Rising by Ruby Dixon has been on my TBR list since it came out. The cover was so sparkly and gorgeous and I’d been primed for minotaur romance after finishing Morning Glory Milking Farm. I thought I knew what to expect, but I was wrong in the best way! This was much more […]
The Bone Drenched Woods by LV Russell
When I saw the cover for The Bone Drenched Woods by LV Russell, I was intrigued. Such a visceral title and cover. Then, we get the eerie synopsis and I was sold. I was so excited to read this, which makes the letdown so incredibly disappointing. Weak worldbuilding and a consistently punished protagonist were too much […]
Obsessively Yours by Jamie Applegate Hunter
Absolutely obsessed with Obsessively Yours by Jamie Applegate Hunter! I wasn’t sure how much I would love this after Viciously Yours (I am a SUCKER for epistolary romances,) but this topped Viciously easily. The relationship between Violet and Roman was so tender and amazing and, most importantly, complete. Watching Violet and Roman’s relationship bloom from friendship […]
Campfires and Canines by Aly Hollis
Campfires and Canines by Aly Hollis was one of my Stuff Your Kindle days pick-ups and I’m glad I grabbed this! It was cute and cozy with a dash of danger. Hazel and Slate were absolutely instalove, but with fated mates – what else can you expect? Still, it was sweet how hard Slate tried […]
Pucked by Helena Hunting
With a cute cover and desperate for hockey romances, I picked up Pucked by Helena Hunting. Was this the best hockey romance? No. Was it a good and fun read that filled a craving? Yes! There was some angst, which I enjoyed and added much needed tension, but this seemed to straddle the fence between […]
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
Continuing on with my journey through the classics, I really, really wish I had read The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath when I was in my early twenties. Maggie Gyllenhaal did a great job narrating and I know the reason I got through this as quickly as I did was because of her narration. You […]
Bearista by Zoe Chant
After being on such a great roll with Zoe Chant books, I was bound to find a one to disappoint. Bearista, I picked up solely for the punny name. I thought how funny, yes, I would love to see a big, burly bear shifter behind the counter wearing an apron and working as a barista. […]
Pack Plus Three by Melissa Huxley
I was just in the mood for low stakes hockey omegaverse and in came Pack Plus Three by Melissa Huxley. I’m not usually a big fan of baby/pregnancy romances, but this was just so cute! It is barely hockey, but that didn’t bother me. I’d rather minimum hockey than a lot of incorrect hockey. Anyway, […]
