I am reviewing the oldest book on my Netgalley shelf. On the surface, it looks like my kind of thing. New adults developing their lives in a world where the gifted have magic. My intuition was spot on when I kept putting it off since it wasn’t really for me. While it says new adult, Within […]
I requested Mutts and Mistletoe for the HoHoHoRAT without really knowing much and assuming it was a holiday romance with dogs. Well that’s the jist of it, I guess. Charlie, the main character, and our view into the world is rather young and shallow. I didn’t like her at the beginning but I will say […]
Read It, Rate It and Record A short review to update challenges This holiday romance is the first in the Shadow Creek Montana series. While Christmas with the Sheriff is quite short, the characters are well drawn, mostly authentic and enjoyable. Julia comes home to visit her in-laws for the first time […]
OMG. Rocky Mountain Cowboy Christmas is the best holiday book I’ve ever read. I have a new understanding of awkward and embarrassed or introvert. Also, these people have a proper appreciation for bacon. The world is similar but not exactly the same as other romantic suspense by this author. It is set in a small […]
I’m reading holiday romances this week for #HoHoHoRAT. I do find it hard to read holiday books until December, or at least mid November. At least, it has turned cold here this week in the spirit of the readathon. Dear Santa is an enemies to lovers story. The setting is a beautiful coastal town. Angela […]
This author has some of the best and sassiest dialogue ever. This Slow Burn series are loosely based on classic fairy tales, and Ache For You is very loosely based on Cinderella. Kimber is definitely looking for Prince Charming. She has the worst run of tragedies imaginable which felt unrealistic. The various money issues, and the money […]
In Archangel’s Prophecy, we are back to Raphael and Elena as the main characters in this installment. Normally, they aren’t my favorites to hang out with in this Guild Hunter series. *Gasp* I know, I know but I’ve never really warmed to Raphael. However, at least I don’t want to stab a pencil in his […]
The Corsair’s Captive is the first book in the Corsairs series. Of course, I must mention that while the heroine is human, the hero is an alien. A big blue alien. Obviously, this isn’t your average contemporary romance. I’m not sure the best way to describe this genre, Sci-Fi Erotica? Alien Romance? Intergalactic Love Story? […]
The Irin Chronicles series is a series I would read in order. There is such a diverse canvas of world locations and characters over ages, it really helps. The series almost starts as urban fantasy with one couple. Then it switches up to more paranormal romance with each couple having their own book or novella. Reading […]
Robin did a review of Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating earlier this fall on the digital book version. Her review made it sound so amazing; I couldn’t pass up the audio. I’m a real fan of Christina Lauren. They do an excellent job at capturing people in their funny, unique ways with authentic […]
