Audiobook Review: Fearless Like Us by Krista & Becca Ritchie
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.
Genre: Romance
Audiobook Review: Wild Like Us by Krista & Becca Ritchie
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.
Review: The Lost Fisherman by Jewel E. Ann
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.
Review: The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
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.
Review: The Naked Fisherman by Jewel E. Ann
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.
New Release Review: The Lawyer by Marni Mann
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.
Audiobook Review: Love Online by Penelope Ward
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.
Review: It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kleypas
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.
Review: Before Girl by Kate Canterbary
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.
Review: When Sparks Fly by Helena Hunting
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.
Review: The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn
While I didn’t love The Viscount Who Loved Me quite as much as the first book in the series, it’s still immensely enjoyable. I think the problem for me was pacing. Some parts dragged along unnecessarily and I tended to lose interest. Those bumps in the road did not prevent the wonderful characters and witty enemies to lovers storyline from shining through, however.
Review: Secrets of a Summer Night by Lisa Kleypas
I read the third book in the series before reading this first book. Oh well. I enjoyed Secrets of a Summer Night immensely anyway and read it in one sitting.
