Audiobook Review: Alphas Like Us by Krista & Becca Ritchie
What a fantastic way to end Maximoff and Farrow’s love story. Alphas Like Us had me shipping #Marrow so hard!
Audiobook Review ♥ Mercy by Debra Anastasia
I was looking for a book by a “new to me” author and stumbled upon Mercy. It has high ratings, but I was on the fence about reading it because I don’t like my romance on the super dark side. Don’t give me a book full of kidnapping and torture and then try to make me fall in love with the victimizer. Zachary Webber and Muffy Newtown narrate the audiobook, though, and I love them hard so I figured it was worth a shot. I was pleasantly surprised. Mercy is actually a heart melting love story with the perfect amount of darkness to shake things up and suck you in.
Audiobook Review ♥ When Ashes Fall by Marni Mann
When Ashes Fall is a dazzling romance featuring a unique love triangle. I have no idea why, but I’m one of those masochistic readers that allows my heart to torn be apart by love triangles time and again. While I saw the writing on the wall within the first few chapters, I appreciated the creativity of the plot and my attention was captured throughout.
Review: The Kiss Thief by L.J. Shen
This one hurts because I’m a big L.J. Shen fan and I really enjoyed much of the story, but ultimately the heroine ruined The Kiss Thief for me.
Review: A Place Without You by Jewel E. Ann
A Place Without You laid claim to my heart—pure and simple. In return, it generously gave me all the feels in which I am still happily reveling.
Review: Hate Notes by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward
Hate Notes is an office-based enemies turned lovers story that delivers an entertaining mix of whimsy, feuding, and romance, with a whiff of mystery.
Audiobook Review ♥ From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata
Mariana Zapata slays it again with an utterly entertaining enemies-to-lovers story set within the world of professional figure skating. I listened to the audiobook of From Lukov with Love which is 15 hours long (524 pages), and I can honestly say that I didn’t want it to end.
Sam’s Guest Review ♥ Beginner’s Luck by Kate Clayborn
Well…yay! Beginner’s Luck feels like it belongs on that shelf with Act Like It or The Hating Game (if anything belongs on that shelf with The Hating Game) in terms of contemporary debuts. There were so many great things about this book.
Review: All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover
“If you only shine a light on your flaws, all your perfects will dim.” Romance readers typically want to read about people falling in love and living happily ever after. The fairytale is a nice distraction from mundane life, but the truth is that sometimes I hunger for more. What happens after the happily ever after? I’ve been married to the same man for quite some time, and it’s nice to see my truth reflected on the page every once in awhile.
Review ♥ Long Live the Beautiful Hearts by Emma Scott
It sucks when an author whose work you admire writes a book that falls short of your expectations. I was pretty disappointed in Bring Down the Stars, the first book in the Beautiful Hearts series, especially since all my friends loved it. However, I think it makes the triumph of Long Live The Beautiful Hearts all the sweeter. It contains everything I felt the previous book lacked.
Review ♥ Bring Down the Stars by Emma Scott
I was hesitant to read Bring Down the Stars because I knew it was a modern day re-telling of Cyrano de Bergerac. Nothing good can come from a relationship built on a foundation of lies. And yet I willingly waded into what I was confident would be turbulent waters, praying that the characters would be worth the risk to my heart. Weston and the beautiful poetry are shining stars in this story and the main reason for nudging the book toward 4-star territory.
