Naomi's Reading Palace: April 2024

Review ~ The Girl in the Corner by Amanda Prowse

The Girl in the Corner by Amanda Prowse My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a great audible read. I honestly was drawn into this story and couldn’t stop listening to it. I was riveted, wanting to know more about Rae and how her world was turned upside down. It was interesting to see how her world evolved around Dolly - her best friend, Dolly’s brother...

Review ~ Black Ties and White Lies by Kat Singleton

Black Ties and White Lies by Kat Singleton My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a sweet read, and I enjoyed getting to know Margo and Beck. Beck had his plans and goals, and Margo was a big part of them. They had an earlier connection, with Margo dating Becks crappy brother for a while, but there’d been some time between them breaking up and now.I really...

Review ~ Hate Mail by Winter Renshaw

Hate Mail by Winter Renshaw My rating: 3 of 5 stars I felt that this one started really well, as we got an insight into both Campbell and Slade in the present, and a few letters at the end of each chapter from their past. I liked getting to know both of them, and seeing how they interacted with their parents. Campbell didn’t engage in conflict, and...

Audiobook Review ~ Throttled by Lauren Asher

Throttled by Lauren Asher My rating: 3 of 5 stars Maya and Noah's story was a nice read to listen to. The narration by Ramona Master and Aiden Snow really flowed nicely and I enjoyed how they delivered Lauren Asher's story.I liked seeing how Maya became what Noah focused on. He was determined to win her over, but his family put a lot of pressure on...

Review ~ Under Locke by Mariana Zapata

Under Locke by Mariana Zapata My rating: 5 of 5 stars Mariana Zapata builds worlds and characters that I can’t help but love. She spins some elements that pull on your heart strings, but you can’t deny the passion and loyalty that the characters have for one another. Iris and Dex were such beautiful characters to get to know and watching Iris find...

Review ~ Rusty Nailed by Alice Clayton

Rusty Nailed by Alice Clayton My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars It's been a while since I read the first book in this series, so it was hard to get into this one. I did like seeing both Caroline and Simon again, however their lives were still kind of seperate. They were still amusing, and still had a lot of chemistry, but their lives were changing. Simon travelled...

Review ~ Fall Into You by J.T. Geissinger

Fall Into You by J.T. Geissinger My rating: 3 of 5 stars I’ve read a few books in this world now and some have been good and others I find hard to get into. This one sounded good so I thought I’d give it a whirl. I found that the start of this book was amusing, but really drawn out. The first 20% of the book was the night where Cole and Shay first...

Review ~ The Hustler Next Door by K.A. Tucker

The Hustler Next Door by K.A. Tucker My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved this book! The banter between Justine and Garrett was so much fun. There was definitely an intense connection between them, despite Garrett’s business dealings and Justine’s passion to standup for the small town she recently moved to. My heart ached for Justine, considering how she...

Review ~ Accidentally, Scandalously Yours by Nina Levine

Accidentally, Scandalously Yours by Nina Levine My rating: 4 of 5 stars Accidentally, Scandalously Yours was quite enjoyable. I was able to see the relationship between Kristen and Bradford grow over 10 years, seeing them in relationships, but the connection between them was always there. They were both determined people, and were fighting for what...
