Audiobook Review: Bane by L.J. Shen
Once again L.J. Shen has made me fall in love with an anti-hero. Yes, Bane is a liar, a con, a thief, a bully, and a whore. Guess what? I fell for him anyway.
Blog Tour & Review: Block Shot by Kennedy Ryan
Brace yourself. If you think Block Shot is your run of the mill enemies to lovers romance, think again. This book is simply more: more complicated, more impassioned, and more believable.

Review: Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren
Smile, happy sigh, heart tug, repeat. Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating filled me with undiluted joy from beginning to end. The main source of all the warm fuzzies are the two main characters.
Audiobook Review ♥ The Fortunate Ones by R.S. Grey
Overall thoughts on The Fortunate Ones: This was a bit of a mixed bag. It was an easy read that I enjoyed in one sitting, even though there’s too much on-again/off-again going on. I liked the tension between James and Brooke. Their relationship has some complexity, and I wanted the two of them to get together. At the same time, their chemistry tends to be a little off. Brooke’s sister is rather annoying, but this book should suit drama llamas and hopeless romantics alike.
Review ♥ The Beau & the Belle by R.S. Grey
This entertaining story goes out to all the women who had an unrequited crush on an older guy when they were in high school. I include myself in that illustrious group.
Review ♥ Blind Kiss by Renée Carlino
The premise of Blind Kiss is intriguing, and I confess I expected there to be some angst. What I didn’t expect was for the book to leave me emotionally exhausted and exasperated.
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.
