Review: The Difference Between Somehow and Someway by Aly Martinez
Color me addicted to this trilogy! I could kick myself for reading the first two books a full month before the final book is released. I need it now!

Audiobook Review: Shenanigans by Sarina Bowen
Sarina Bowen continues to expand the Brooklyn pro hockey franchise, and I couldn’t be happier. I am loving the Brooklyn Bombshells women’s team. Shenanigans introduces us to Charli, a Brooklyn Bombshells player. Her story is integrated with one of the stars on the Brooklyn Bruisers men’s team, Neil Drake. It’s like uniting the best of both worlds.
Review: The Difference Between Somebody and Someone by Aly Martinez
The Difference Between Somebody and Someone is book one in The Difference Trilogy. It’s been awhile since I’ve been willing to invest my time in reading a trilogy, but based on this angst-filled yet enthralling start, I think it will be well worth it.
Review: This is Crazy by Natasha Madison
This is Crazy has the makings of an entertaining romance. After Zara Stone’s long-term boyfriend breaks up with her only to get engaged to someone else, she is heartbroken and ready for revenge.
Mini Review: Pause by Kylie Scott
Pause is an overall nice story. It has a good premise, a beginning that sucked me in, and a strong heroine. I just wish there was more conflict to keep the plot from being so predictable. More tension between the two main characters would also have increased my interest in their romance, which has a slow burn nature. I also wish the plot development toward the end wasn’t so glossed over.
Review: Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score
Could this book be more delightful? And funny! Things We Never Got Over left me with nothing but good vibes and a massive smile.
Review: Rifts & Refrains by Devney Perry
Rifts and Refrains is the second book in the Hush Note trilogy about a famous rock band. Each book is written by a different author and centers around a different band member. Rifts and Refrains is the story of Quinn, Hush Note’s drummer, and Devney Perry does an excellent job of giving us a second chance rock star romance in a small town setting.
Review: Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover
It is impossible to describe how deeply Reminders of Him touched me. It’s been days since I finished the book, and I’m still thinking about it. I know that the story will continue to linger with me for quite some time. I’ve come to expect nothing less from Colleen Hoover.
Audiobook Review: Call Me Maybe by Cara Bastone
Call Me Maybe is the perfect pick-me-up, and it’s presented in the most creative way. This Audible Original audiobook is more like an aural theatrical production than a traditional audiobook—brought to life with fantastic vocal performances by Luci Christian and Neil Hellegers, and with sound effects as well. When Vera is driving, you hear cars whizzing past. A text being composed is followed by the familiar “whoosh” of the text being sent. They’re eating dinner, and you can hear the sound of utensils clinking against dishes. You get the picture.
Review: Running Wild by K.A. Tucker
Oh Alaska, how I’ve missed you! It’s been awhile since I read The Simple Wild and the two books that followed, but I discovered that my love for the remote Alaska setting and its fictional residents hasn’t diminished one bit. The previous books (all 5-star reads for me) feature the romance between Calla and Jonah. Running Wild is all about Marie, the veterinarian who secretly loved Jonah. It’s a heartwarming story that doesn’t disappoint.
Review: One Night by Aleatha Romig
I liked the beginning of One Night, but ultimately I just didn’t buy this story. I get how a one-night stand could turn into more nights. I get why a single mom might not want to introduce her son to the man she’s casually sleeping with. I even get why you might not want to share certain personal details with the guy at first. What I don’t get is how you can date a man for months and still not be willing to tell him your son’s name. I mean, you can tell him you have a five-year-old son but not his name? Why not just keep the fact that you have a kid a secret?
Review: The Best Men by Sarina Bowen & Lauren Blakely
Sarina Bowen and Lauren Blakely combine their formidable talents to create a seamless opposites attract M/M love story. The Best Men was a joy for me to read.
