Review: The Good Luck Charm by Helena Hunting
The Good Luck Charm is custom made for second chance romance lovers. Helena Hunting gives us some tension mixed with humor, and adds hockey to satisfy sports romance addicts like me. It’s a great combo.

Review: The Chase by Elle Kennedy
What a fun start to what I predict will be a winning series. I fell in love with Briar University and their hockey team in the Off-Campus series. Most of the players have graduated, so now is the perfect time for a fresh start with the new Briar U series.
Review: The End Zone by L.J. Shen
I love L.J. Shen’s writing, but I’m afraid this The End Zone missed the mark for me. Let me start by saying that I don’t have the same expectations for novellas as I do for full-length novels. It’s extremely difficult to convey a well-rounded storyline with fully developed characters in under 150 pages.
Review: Someone Else’s Ocean by Kate Stewart
For me, getting lost in a book is unmatched in its ability to soothe and excite. It was a joy to read Someone Else’s Ocean from cover to cover in one sitting. The story sucked me in from the emotional prologue and I was a goner.
July Ultimate Reading Challenge Review ♥ Tattered by Devney Perry
I read Tattered for July’s Ultimate Reading Challenge to read a book with a cover you love, and what a gorgeous cover it is! This book went down nice and easy. Tattered is such a delightful story that is filed with warmth. Single parent romances are my kryptonite, and this one comes with a strong woman, an honorable man, and an adorable little girl.
Review: Dr. Strange Beard by Penny Reid
The Winston Brothers series revolves around six bearded brothers who are completely distinctive, wonderfully complicated, and equally endearing. And the award for the sweetest, most sensitive Winston brother goes to Roscoe Winston. In Dr. Strange Beard he gets a chance to pursue his happily ever after.
Review ♥ Perfect by Judith McNaught
I’ve never read anything by Judith McNaught before but Perfect was highly recommended so I decided to check it out of the library. The story grabbed me from the first chapter and I found myself staying up until the wee hours of the morning desperate to see what the characters would do next and yet dreading the end of the story.
Review: The Upside of Falling by Meghan Quinn
I’ve never been so happy to be taken hostage by a book! Lately I’ve been feeling kind of funky. Book funky, that is. I’ve been disinterested in reading, and it’s been troubling me because I freaking love to read! I needed something to snap me the hell out of it, and The Upside of Falling did just that. I could not put this book down. And the cherry on top of this addictive sundae is that it’s only the first book in a duet.
Review & Excerpt: The Accidentals by Sarina Bowen
I am proudly sporting dark smudges and Samsonite bags under my eyes. They are the battle scars of a reader who was compelled to pull an all-nighter to read The Accidentals in one sitting. I have long been a fan of Sarina Bowen’s writing, but I think this is among her best work yet. It is her first Young Adult novel and she nails it! The story is breathtakingly haunting in the most wonderful way. Even my feels have feels, and I don’t know what to do with them all!
Audiobook Review: Pucked by Helena Hunting
Book: 3 stars Audiobook: DNF @ 50% Pucked was an okay read, but I guess I was expecting more given the popularity of this series.
June Ultimate Reading Challenge: Audiobook Review ♥ Forever My Girl by Heidi McLaughlin
I read Forever My Girl as part of the Ultimate Reading Challenge to read a book that has been adapted into a movie. I have to wonder if this is one of those rare cases where the movie is better than the book because the book just didn’t do it for me.
Review & Excerpt: Getting Schooled by Emma Chase
Frankly, I’m amazed by how much I’ve enjoyed every single Emma Chase book I’ve read—and by now I believe I’ve gone through her entire body of work. The winning streak continues with Getting Schooled. I brought this book with me on vacation, and I couldn’t have chosen a more perfect beach read. It’s pure hilarity and romance, without an ounce of silly conflicts to spoil the good times.
