Because one of the first things you learn in this book is how awesome the movie Mean Girls is (though you people should already know the awesomeness of this movie!), this book review is going to consist of a lot of Mean Girls memes. HA. Shannon is a 21 year old college junior who is still holding on to her V Card. Her friends are doing everything they can to help her lose that […]
My thoughts… Omigosh! I loved this one!!! Its a great start to a new series. I’ve read the Damaged and Stripped series by Ms Ward and couldn’t wait to read this one. I signed up for an ARC not knowing anything about The Proposition other than it being Bryan’s story. It captured my attention from page one and didn’t let go. As I’m writing this I’m still reeling from it. I need Vol 2 like […]
My thoughts… Before We Fall is the fourth book in the amazing Beautifully Broken series. I loved, loved, loved this one. While Jacey was a secondary character in previous books, Dominic aka Dom is new to the series. I was sort of disappointed that Jacey and Brand didn’ t get a book, but about halfway through this one I was happy that they didn’ t. Jacey is known for picking the wrong guy. She does […]

First, there was Shakespeare. Then, there was Georgina Guthrie. Sometimes you stumble upon a book that appeals to all your senses. A book that wraps itself around you, and warms you to your core like a chenille sweater during a Canadian winter. The Weight of Words is one of those books. In my mind’s eye, TWoW is leather-bound in Oxblood-red with roughly edged, cream colored pages. It’s a romantic contemporary classic that deserves to be […]
My thoughts… The Gift is a funny, sweet, and delightful read. I liked both Imogene and Blake. Especially Blake. *swoon* The playful banter between these two was really funny and I enjoyed reading story. The only negative thing I can say about this one (and it’s not really a negative) is that it’s really, really short. I would’ve loved to read a full length novel with these characters.
Hoes before Bros. King Henry lost his proverbial head before Anne did. I wasn’t all that impressed or moved by Katherine Longshore’s Gilt as you know if you read my review of it here, but I really enjoyed Tarnish. Where I felt Gilt was a little stiff and read like ages 9-13 appropriate, Tarnish loosened up and felt YA for an older age group. We’re all familiar with the story of Anne Boleyn. She literally […]
My thoughts… Although this is a short novella I really enjoyed it. Until We Burn gives the reader a little bit of insight into who Dominic Kinkaide is. You’ ll see how he views things through his eyes. I found him to be a very interesting guy. Dominic seems like the typical Hollywood movie star. Rich and good looking he’ s used to getting his way. Which he does, but he also has a secret […]
My thoughts… Finally! A new book from author Claire Contreras. I loved her first two books (There is No Light in Darkness & Darkness Before Dawn) and couldn’ t wait to read this one. The synopsis drew me in and I couldn’ t wait to get started. Catch Me is a different style book from the first two she’ s published or at least I think so. Whereas the two Darkness books were suspenseful, Catch […]
Let them eat cake….. AND DIE!!! [sc_embed_player fileurl=”http://mereadalot.com/muzak/02%20-%20Heads%20Will%20Roll.mp3″] (
My thoughts… Finally! We get to hear Remy’s side of the story. I love reading books from the heroes POV. I like being able to get into their head and experience things from their perspective. After having read the first two books in this series I know how the story goes. Having said that, in this story you can get a feel for Remy in a different light. While the majority of this story highlights […]
My thoughts… A short holiday novella I enjoyed this one for the most part. There was a bit of confusion on my part for the first half of it though. I couldn’ t figure out what was going on with the characters. It just sort of seemed that there wasn’ t enough backstory to justify how the main characters were acting towards each other. I kept feeling like I was missing something while reading it. […]
To be honest, when this book series was first announced I was like, ‘Gargoyles?!! Why would anyone write about gargoyles?’ Then I remembered that this is Jennifer L. Armentrout that is writing these books! I shouldn’t question her for writing about gargoyles, I should just trust the knowledge that we all know: Jennifer L. Armentrout writes the most swoon-worthy male characters EVER. After that realization I started to get excited! One day Jasmine’s father has […]
My thoughts… Sia. I really liked this one. It held my attention from the beginning until the end. I think both the main and secondary characters were very interesting. I loved Sia. (love her name) She wakes up on a park bench and has absolutely no idea who she is or how she got there. She’s forced to spend a week living homeless on the streets. She befriends a homeless woman named Carol who helps […]
My thoughts… Torn was a very fast read for me. It can easily be read in one sitting. I liked it. Gage was a secondary character in the first novella in this series and I was really looking forward to him getting his own story. He’ s not one for relationships so I couldn’ t wait to meet the woman who would bring him to his knee’ s. Speaking of… I really liked Marina. She’ […]
My thoughts… I have been so excited for this book to come out. The first one ended with a pretty big cliffhanger and so of course I couldn’ t wait to find out what would happen next. Having said that I was way over halfway through the book before things started to get interesting. The first half there really wasn’ t anything exciting happening. I kept wondering if things would indeed pick up. I was […]
My thoughts… Where to begin. Ignite is the debut novel by Author Tessa Teevan. Those who are reading this probably know who she is. If not, here a few details about her. She makes up 1/3 of the Gutter Girls who have a book review blog. She’ s very friendly and always responds to her @ replies on Twitter (at least she does mine lol) and even though she’ s a Reds fan I can […]
Jewels, and Bitches, and Boys! Oh, my! If you have watched HBO’s The Tudors, or nurse a love for English history (as do I), than you have probably been drawn to the Gilt, Tarnish, and Brazen books by Katherine Longshore. The stunning covers on the most recent editions of these books invoke a sense of richness and luxury reserved for kings and queens. I appreciate the hours and hard work spent on Katherine’s part to […]
Erin’s Review: My Date from Hell picks right up where My Ex from Hell ended. Sophie being held captive by her dad, Zeus. He’s doing anything he can to get information from Sophie that she doesn’t have, well, information that she can’t remember. You see, she’s the reincarnation of Persephone and she can’t tap into her memories from her former life. Which is too bad, because the future of humanity depends on that information. The […]
My thoughts… I loved Awakening. It was a quick read for me. I just couldn’t seem to put it down. I found both the main characters to be intriguing and I really liked them. Evan acted like a butt for the first part of the story. It was understandable as to why he did given the feelings and emotions he was dealing with. I just wish he would have come around a bit earlier in […]
My thoughts… See that? ↑ Yep, up there. The synopsis? Those few short words aren’ t very descriptive are they? That’ s okay because we’ re getting more Remy, right? Right! I could summarize Mine for you, but I’ m not going to. Here’ s why. I really don’ t want to spoil anything. Trust me. You’ ll thank me when you start reading this book. Here’ s what I can tell you. Author Katy […]
