I just finished reading Before Girl—my first Kate Canterbary novel—and really enjoyed it. The author’s note at the end suggested reading this book to learn about Riley and Alex’s love story, and I’m so glad I chose to dive right in. Preservation was quite the tasty treat—so much so that I want to go back to the beginning of The Walshes series to enjoy the entire meal.
I’m clearly in the minority here. Based on all the glowing reviews, I expected to be blown away by A Love Letter to Whiskey, which only made my lackluster response all the more disappointing.
The Soulmate Equation is surprisingly cute. I was afraid the book might spend too much time on scientific details, but it’s just the right amount. The relationships between the characters are what really interested me.
Getting Real is the third standalone in the Getting Some series and before I go any further, let me take a moment to bow down to the great narrator Zachary Webber. I always admire his vocal performances, but he takes it to the next level in this audiobook. The emotions, the clever distinctions between the characters, and the believability are *chef’s kiss*. Andi Arndt’s narration is excellent as well, but I found myself especially looking forward to Zachary’s chapters.
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.
