Review ~ I Pucking Love You by Pippa Grant

I Pucking Love You by Pippa Grant My rating: 3 of 5 stars I Pucking Love You was a fun and quirky read. Muffy was such an interesting character and her antics made me laugh. I really liked Tyler, he was just the guy that Muffy needed as her fake date. He wanted to be there for Muffy and wanted to rekindle the moment that they had before.This was the...

Review ~ Out of Love by Jewel E. Ann

Out of Love by Jewel E. Ann My rating: 4 of 5 stars This read was certainly different from what I thought it would be, and I couldn't help but to devour it! Both Livy and Slade were strong characters that I enjoyed getting to know. I liked the way that Livy pushed Slade, and was able to get under his skin with her curious nature. I liked the connection...

Review ~ Suddenly Forbidden Ella Fields

Suddenly Forbidden by Ella Fields My rating: 4 of 5 stars Suddenly Forbidden was a good introduction to the world, the characters and the series. The beginning was insightful and it was interesting to see both Daisy and Quinn’s past and to see the connection they both shared. It was sad to see them part ways and to see how they struggled to find their...

Review ~ Lie to Me by Molly McAdams

Lie to Me by Molly McAdams My rating: 4 of 5 stars Life wasn’t easy for Emma and she was so closed off due to her upbringing and the recent incident that led her back to Grandmother. I liked the way Reed pushed her bit by bit, getting under her skin and getting her to open up. I liked the small community and Reeds closest friends, how they were like...

Review ~ Not What I Expected by Jewel E. Ann

Not What I Expected by Jewel E. Ann My rating: 4 of 5 stars I thoroughly enjoyed reading Not What I Expected. It was such a good read, and anyone who has ended a long term relationship can relate to it. Not knowing who you are after being with the one person for so long and having to find your own feet again can be quite challengingI liked Elsie's...

Review ~ Gleam by Raven Kennedy

Gleam by Raven Kennedy My rating: 5 of 5 stars OMG!! There is going to be another book! I was not prepared for this series to continue, and it is going to be a long time before I get the fourth book :( Gleam was such an exciting read and I loved watching Auren become a better woman. She learnt so much more about herself and the people around her. Some...

Review ~ Glint by Raven Kennedy

Glint by Raven Kennedy My rating: 4 of 5 stars I liked watching Auren grow throughout this read. She spent a lot of time travelling and being herself outside of a cage. After seeing some instances where she was mistreated, it was good to see her develop some different relationships. I was intrigued by the characters in Fourths army - Judd, Lu, Osrik,...

Review ~ Gild by Raven Kennedy

Gild by Raven Kennedy My rating: 5 of 5 stars I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series; I was constantly on edge wondering what would happen next. My heart ached for Auren, as she was kept alone and didn’t get to interact with anyone. She was a trophy, not able to roam free. She appreciated the small things, like fresh air and she was also...

Review ~ Replay by Amy Daws

Replay by Amy Daws My rating: 3 of 5 stars Although this book is suggested that it can be read as a standalone, I felt a little lost while reading it. There are other characters in this read who have obviously already have their own books and I was a little overwhelmed by them and how their stories impacted this read. I believe that if you read those...

Review ~ For Lucy by Jewel E. Ann

For Lucy by Jewel E. Ann My rating: 5 of 5 stars OMG! This book was fantastic! It really took my emotions on a ride as I got to know Emmett, and what happened between him and Tatum - both in the past and in the present. I loved seeing them fall for one another as I slowly got to find out how they were torn apart. Their daughter Lucy was a beautiful...

Review ~ Bloodstained Beauty by Ella Fields

Bloodstained Beauty by Ella Fields My rating: 4 of 5 stars I was swept away with this read! I was on edge the whole time, knowing there was going to be a twist, and wondering how it would all unfold. And boy... were there twists! I liked getting to know Jemima and seeing her be a strong and confident woman when betrayed. I was curious about both men...
