Audiobook Review ~ Fallen Foe by L.J. Shen

Fallen Foe by L.J. Shen My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was an interesting read to listen to. When I first met Arsène, I thought he was such a twisted character. He appeared to be heartless and wanted to control his Fiancee, as she tried to control aspects of his life as they grew up. They were quite toxic together, and his friends continued to point...

Review ~ The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland

The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand by Penelope Ward My rating: 4 of 5 stars I've always liked Owen and I loved that he found a match in Devyn! These two really were perfect for one another, despite them both trying to deny it. They had chemistry right from the beginning, and I was amused by the way they met and how Owen certainly put Devyn in her...

Review ~ One and Only by Karla Sorensen

One and Only by Karla Sorensen My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was such a sweet read! The opening chapters were quite funny, as Greer fumbled through some "quick dates" trying to land a tempory husband. Beckett was another meeting as a favour to her brother, and he soon understood what was going on and had a proposition of his own. Soon, these two were...

Review ~ Five Ways to Fall by K.A. Tucker

Five Ways to Fall by K.A. Tucker My rating: 4 of 5 stars I liked how this book wasn’t as suspenseful as the previous book, and was actually a lot of fun. I was beginning to wonder what type of girl would capture our fun loving guy Ben and he sure found his match in Reese. She was just as loud and outgoing as him and they sure kept each other on their...

Review ~ Four Seconds to Lose by K.A. Tucker

Four Seconds to Lose by K.A. Tucker My rating: 5 of 5 stars Charlie was a strong character, but she was in a difficult situation that she was trying to get herself out of, and it was interesting to see the extremes that she would go to to accomplish that. Cain had some issues from his past that made it hard for him to fall for someone. Over time he...

Review ~ The Rules of Dating My Best Friend's Sister by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward

The Rules of Dating My Best Friend's Sister by Vi Keeland My rating: 3 of 5 stars Lala and Holden had a long connection and had never acted on their feelings, however there was a line as Lala was engaged. This line was getting blurred at times, and I would’ve thought they had better control. Holden was worried that he was the one being used but I...

Review ~ Forbidden Hearts by Corinne Michaels

Forbidden Hearts by Corinne Michaels My rating: 4 of 5 stars This forbidden love story was really sweet. I enjoyed the slow burn between Phoebe and Asher. They didn’t like each other to begin with but you could see the chemistry growing between them. Phoebe’s story broke my heart a little, but she was a determined and strong woman who was working to...

Review ~ The Summer We Fell by Elizabeth O'Roark

The Summer We Fell by Elizabeth O'Roark My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars This read sure packed a punch. It wasn’t easy for Jules to find her place with a family who suppressed the person she was, but she wasn’t strong enough to break free. Living under the roof of the paster, his wife and her boyfriend sure had its challenges, and she was more like the help...

Review ~ The Choice by Ashley Jade

The Choice by Ashley Jade My rating: 5 of 5 stars When is the next book coming? I was literally hooked to this read from start to finish! This book had the POV's of both Skylar and Memphis, but Memphis' brother Josh was a focal character as well. All three characters had troubled pasts and it was interesting to see who was drawn together and why. Skylar...

Review ~ Keep This Promise by Corinne Michaels

Keep This Promise by Corinne Michaels My rating: 3 of 5 stars Keep This Promise began a little odd, and it seemed all very convenient how Theo was able to put a plan into place that would put Sophie and Eden back with Holden. However, I liked seeing their relationships grow throughout the story. I enjoyed meeting other couples from the first two books,...

Review ~ Beautiful Broken Mess by Kimberly Lauren

Beautiful Broken Mess by Kimberly Lauren My rating: 3 of 5 stars I was looking forward to Jace and Audrey's story and after re-reading the first book, Beautiful Broken Rules as an audible read. Once I finished it I jumped straight into Beautiful Broken Mess, for Jace and Audrey's story.Audrey was a bit of an odd character in the previous book, seeming...
