What I liked There was a lot I liked about Eye Candy: Office romance. Two characters with a tough relationship history (both divorced). I liked the characters a lot both individually and on their own. I looove the whole “friends become lovers” trope. And just […]
I just had the worst reading slump of my life. It went so far beyond any others I’ve had before. Imagine conversations like this: Me: *sobbing* THERE ARE NO BOOKS IN THE WORLD!! THERE’S NOTHING TO READ! *sobbing* I HATE EVERYTHING! Husband: What about the […]
Despite being part of a series, Wired can be read as a standalone. Man, this book was a huge letdown for me. I had high hopes since I’m a coder and I thought a coding/FBI/romance/thriller book just sounded AMAZING. But it wasn’t what I hoped […]
I’m a huge, huge fan of Miranda Kenneally. I’ve read the whole Hundred Oaks series except Things I Can’t Forget. Based on the other books in the series, there ware a few things I expected from Coming Up for Air: An awesome story about sports […]
I loved this story! Royal Bastards ended up being everything I hoped it would: Kingdoms Awesome, rebellious, brave characters Magic!! I think the best thing for me was the characters. There were five main ones and they were all fantastic in their own ways. They […]

I kind of got Defy the Stars on a whim. I got one of those emails from NetGalley that was all like, “READ NOW for the first 500 members!” Those emails always make me panic. Normally, before I get anything from NetGalley I put it […]
Alex, Approximately was the perfect blend of fun/fluff and intensity. On the fluff side, it was a super fun and sweet summer romance filled with awkward maybe-dating, summer jobs, and new best friends. But on the intense side, there were unresolved fears/traumas, trust issues, and […]
HOT DAMN! Gauntlet owned even harder than Arena! I liked Arena but had a few issues with it. I didn’t love Kali’s spiral into chaos, which was a big part of the book. But Gauntlet was peeerfect. It was all the awesome bits of Arena, […]
You have no idea how much I wanted to (and almost could have) love this book. The premise—girl meets prince and doesn’t know he’s a prince—is PERFECT. Add in Rome and it’s beyond perfect. But sadly the book didn’t quite work up to my hopes. […]
