For the life of me I don’t know why Sulli’s story needed to be a trilogy when it could easily have been told in two books. It’s just way too long for a story I wasn’t fully invested in. Anyway, I think I liked Infamous Like Us the best of the three books.
I enjoyed Fearless Like Us more than the previous book. The story picks up right where Wild Like Us left off, but the pace seems faster and there’s a lot more at stake for everyone.
Granted, I’m not a big fan of love triangles. They’re nerve wracking and only work for me if the ship I love the most is the one that prevails. However, I am a huge fan of this series, so how could I not read Wild Like Us? The fact that I was disappointed in the story is mostly on me, and fair warning that my reasons why may be a bit spoilery.
To sum up The Lost Fisherman: It’s not what I thought it would be. And that’s a good thing. After reading book one, The Naked Fisherman, I had all sorts of notions about where the conclusion of Reese and Fisher’s story was heading. Little did I know how wrong I was.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to deduce that Ali Hazelwood has a huge winner on her hands with her debut novel, The Love Hypothesis. I loved every single thing about this book. I didn’t realize just how badly I needed a 100% feel-good love story.
The Naked Fisherman is yet another entirely unique story by Jewel E. Ann, filled with flawed and complicated characters. The beginning of the book is rather lighthearted, so I was quite surprised by how emotional it actually is.
Break out your fans, ladies and gents, because erotic Marni Mann is back and naughtier than ever. Good Lawd! The Lawyer is one smoking hot book, and there’s no bangxiety. You get the good stuff starting right at chapter one. I would have appreciated a bit more social foreplay before the main characters’ one night stand, but maybe that’s just me.
This story was just okay for me — I didn’t love it; I didn’t hate it. Ryder is super sweet and understanding. Eden is selfless. I think it comes down to the fact that I couldn’t believe her career wasn’t more of an obstacle in their relationship. Not a lot happens in the story, but there’s very little drama, and for that I was grateful. I also enjoyed their chemistry as a couple. Eden’s brother is a real gem, and I liked Ryder’s housekeeper as well.
No More Words is written in the third person, and admittedly I believe it is a difficult point of view in which to write. In this particular case, I think the story suffers for it.
Lillian Bowman was a favorite of mine in Secrets of a Summer Night, and It Happened One Autumn has solidified my adoration for this feisty, headstrong American soap heiress. Despite her mother’s insistence, she couldn’t give a toss about finding a titled husband. I was continually amused by her fun-loving antics and the way she defies the myriad social customs of English aristocracy.
I went gaga over Before Girl, and I really couldn’t tell you why. The beginning has a big hurdle that fortunately I was able to overcome.
There are many promising aspects to this friends-to-lovers story, but the last portion of the book just didn’t do it for me.
