Review ~ Bad Cruz by L.J. Shen

Bad Cruz by L.J. Shen My rating: 4 of 5 stars I do enjoy an enemies to lovers read and I thought that Bad Cruz was quite a fun read. It was interesting to see Tennessee as a quiet girl, who hid behind her massive walls and had a bad reputation. She dressed and acted like a clumsy woman, but was infact quite the opposite. She was a strong mother who...

Review ~ Off Limits by J.A. Low

Off Limits by J.A. Low My rating: 3 of 5 stars This read was quite the shocker early on into the story. I can't believe what happened in the opening chapters and then have the sense of mind to go home and pack up your things before jetting away...Noah was quite the sweet guy and made Chloe feel beautiful and cherished. He wasn't the playboy he made...

Review ~ He Loves Me Not by Deborah Bladon

He Loves Me Not by Deborah Bladon My rating: 3 of 5 stars Deborah Bladon is a new to me author, but I was intrigued by the blurb for He Loves Me Not, so I had to give it a go. It turned out to be a good read, although it didn’t blow me away like I hoped it would. I found it sweet, watching Roman and Bianca fall for one another. They had chemistry right...

Review ~ Pause by Kylie Scott

Pause by Kylie Scott My rating: 5 of 5 stars Kylie Scott is one of those authors that I go to when I’m looking for a good read, and I must admit Pause was another fabulous read! Anna’s life was on pause while she was in a coma, and when she wakes everything has changed and she found it hard to find her feet and figure out her new place in the world....

Review ~ Well Played by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward

Well Played by Vi Keeland My rating: 4 of 5 stars Well Played was a pretty fun read. It had a couple tense moments, but overall, I really enjoyed the relationship growth between Presley and Levi. Levi’s family was fed some lies by Tanner (Levi’s brother) into the reason why Presley and Tanner separated, so it was good to see opinions change as the...

Review ~ Dirty Curve by Meagan Brandy

Dirty Curve by Meagan Brandy My rating: 3 of 5 stars Meagan Brandy is a new to me author, and I had to read more of her work since I enjoyed Fake It 'Til You Break It so much. Dirty Curve was another fun read – being a college romance with a single parent – I usually love it… just not as much as I hoped.Tobias and Meyer were thrust together as Tobias...

Review ~ A Dance with the Fae Prince by Elise Kova

A Dance with the Fae Prince by Elise Kova My rating: 5 of 5 stars After reading A Deal with the Elf King, I had to dive into A Dance with the Fae Prince immediately. These characters are not the same as the ones in the first book and I enjoyed seeing this new couple. Katria’s hand in marriage was sold off to Lord Fenwood and she was swept away to a...

Review ~ A Deal with the Elf King by Elise Kova

A Deal with the Elf King by Elise Kova My rating: 5 of 5 stars It has been a while since I’ve read a good fantasy read and I am so glad that I picked up A Deal with the Elf King! I quickly was swept away in this charming world and the amazing characters!Luella was a well-respected healer in her town and was shocked that she was chosen to become the...
