Review: Summer in the City – Lori Wilde, Priscilla Oliveras and Sarah Skilton

May 27, 2021 Comment : 1

Summer in the City

Content warnings: I picked this up solely for the Priscilla Oliveras story, but I ended up enjoying the other two novellas as well. This anthology follows three friends as their summer Friday night plans get derailed during an all-boroughs-wide blackout in New York City. “I don’t know why I was afraid to take a risk.Read the Post

Review: Love at First – Kate Clayborn

February 20, 2021 Leave a Comment

Love at First

Content warnings: Kate Clayborn’s spectacular Love Lettering was the first book I read in 2020. Now, while the rest of the year didn’t work out so well, I can’t deny that it was an amazing reading year for me, and now Love at First looks like it’s continuing that tradition. I am an absolute suckerRead the Post

Review: Hopeless Romantic – Marina Adair

Hopeless Romantic

Content warnings: I liked both Levi and Beckett from the last book, so I was very much looking forward to seeing them together. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out as well as I’d hoped. In order to talk about why the book didn’t work for me, there’s a lot of spoilers for the book below. “TheRead the Post

RomeAntically Challenged

Content warnings: After her fiancé breaks up with her (and decides to keep their original wedding appointments for the new love of his life, eek), Annie moves to Rome (Rhode Island) where she tries to accept that maybe she’s not meant to find her own romantic partner. Every guy she’s dated has somehow moved onRead the Post

Review: Island Affair – Priscilla Oliveras

April 20, 2020 Leave a Comment

Island Affair

Content warnings: I’m a pretty big fan of Priscilla Oliveras. Her books are like a warm hug to me, full of fundamentally good-but-flawed characters with loving families who may clash but always come back together stronger. So while I was sad that we had to say goodbye to the Fernandez sisters from her last series,Read the Post

Review: Saving Hearts – Rebecca Crowley

March 19, 2018 Leave a Comment

Saving Hearts

Trigger warnings:  This is the third book in the Atlanta Skyline series, but the first I’m reading.  While there wasn’t anything inherently wrong with the book, it unfortunately hit one of my knee-jerk hard no’s.  Also, I’m not a particularly big soccer fan, nor have I read the earlier books in the series, so I’mRead the Post

Review: An Extraordinary Union – Alyssa Cole

November 24, 2017 Comment : 1

An Extraordinary Union cover

  This was much more suspenseful than I was expecting!  Even though I knew this was a romance, and would therefore have a happily-ever-after ending, it was hard at times to see how they were going to overcome the seemingly insurmountable obstacles in the way of their relationship. I liked Elle quite a bit, butRead the Post
