Review: Deeper We Fall by Chelsea M. Cameron

Review: Deeper We Fall by Chelsea M. Cameron

August 30, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Warning: This review may be a bit spoilerish. I have mixed feelings about this one. On the one hand I liked it. But on the other hand there were a few issues I had with it. The heroine loathed the hero for half of this book. And then all of sudden it sort of turned into insta-love. I’m not really a big fan of this element. I just felt sort of confused. I […]

Review: Me, Cinderella? by Aubrey Rose

Review: Me, Cinderella? by Aubrey Rose

August 27, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… This is going to be a very short review of Me, Cinderella. I was drawn in by the synopsis and thought this sounded like a great read. Once I started reading I quickly realized that this one wasn’t what I thought it was going to be. Upon meeting Eliot, Brynn tells him her name but it isn’t really her name. It’s a fake name. I’m not sure what the purpose of that was. […]

My thoughts… I really, really liked this one. The synopsis drew me in and I was hooked from page one. If I hadn’t started reading Elite so late in the day I could have easily read it in one sitting. I liked the main characters for the most part. Tracey aka Trace was a bit naive. When she arrives at school she is immediately treated as a charity case. She was accepted into the Elite […]

My thoughts… Escaping Me is the first story by author Elizabeth Lee that I’ve read. I liked it for the most part. At times the dialogue and the actions of the characters seemed to be a little juvenile. The plot was interesting and kept my attention until the very end though. I liked both Whitney and Cole. Whitney was a people pleaser and a bit naive. I really liked the fact that after finding her […]

My thoughts… I love New Adult. And I loved this one. The characters were really interesting and I loved getting to know them. Avery. I liked her. She’s running from a past that isn’t quite explained until the end. I sort of figured out what it is based on the hints that are given throughout the story though. I didn’t however like her parents. They seemed anything but loving. Cam. *swoon* He is awesome and […]

August 21, 2013 0 Comments Christy

Jasinda Wilder has done it again. I loved this one! I was drawn in by the synopsis and I couldn’t wait to get started. The idea of a virgin being a stripper meeting a Hollywood playboy was intriguing from the get go. I had a hard time putting this one down. It kept my interest from the beginning until the very end. Grey is the virgin stripper. I really liked her. After leading a very sheltered […]

Review: Slow Surrender by Cecilia Tan

August 20, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Slow Surrender is the first novel by author Cecilia Tan I’ve read. I have to say that I enjoyed it. There were a few things that were awkward with it though. I really liked Karina. She’s in grad school and about to graduate. She’s still undecided about what she actually wants to do with her life after she graduates. She meets James while she’s covering for a waitress at her sisters bar one […]

My thoughts… I liked Deeper. It’s a pretty good read for a debut novel. There were a few tiny things I didn’t care for, but for the most part I enjoyed reading this one. The characters were very likable for the most part and I enjoyed getting to know Rain and Knight. Speaking of Knight…what a different and unique name. I like it. Both Rain and Knight have issues. Even though they both have issues […]

Review: Always On My Mind by Jill Shalvis

August 16, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I’ve been waiting a long time for this one. I love both Leah and Jack. They’ve been in previous books and I couldn’t wait to read their story. Leah is a pastry chef who doesn’t ever complete anything. It stems from her youth when her father would constantly berate her and tell her things like “You’ll never amount to nothing” or “You never finish anything you start.” At the beginning of this book […]

You write Romance? That’ s hot… Whenever someone finds out I’ m an author, the first question I always get is, “What kind of books do you write?” I always laugh when I’ m asked this, because I know what’ s coming when I respond with the answer “romance”. If it’ s a woman, she usually gets excited and asks my name so she can write it down for future reference. If it’ s a […]

My thoughts… I’m very conflicted about this book. I rarely DNF books. I usually try to stick it out, but I just couldn’t with this one. On the one hand I really liked Eric & Ivy. They were both interesting characters. I thought they would make a good couple. On the other hand there seemed to be vital parts of this story that were missing. I’m not a fan of insta-relationships and/or insta-love. I think […]

My thoughts… Torn was an emotional roller coaster. I experienced a whirlwind of emotions while reading this one. It was a fast read for me. I finished it in less than a day. I just couldn’t seem to put it down. I really liked Chloe. The poor girl has had a hard life. Her mother had her at a young age and was mean and cruel to her. Sometimes she would leave Chloe for weeks […]

My thoughts… OMG! Why do I torture myself with series books? It drives me crazy when I get to the end and have to wait however long to read the next book or the conclusion. Even though I say I’m not going to read a book that ends with a cliffhanger I do it anyway. o.O lol This is the case with this series. I knew it wasn’t going to be wrapped up in one […]

My thoughts… What a great contemporary story. I really liked this one. It goes something like this… Kyler and Sydney have been friends since childhood. Both of them are in love with each other, but neither has a clue that the other feels the same way. I loved Sydney from the beginning. Even though she’s deeply in love with Kyler, she keeps her feelings to herself because she knows he’s a player and doesn’t want […]

My thoughts… Promise Me This is a sweet new adult contemporary romance. I really enjoyed this one. The characters are rich with emotions and I loved getting to know them. I really liked Charlie. She’s a bit clumsy. In fact upon meeting Jhett she face plants. Poor girl. She’s always done as her controlling mother has wanted. She goes to a specific school and has never really “lived” life. She’s never experienced what all the […]

My thoughts… This is the first book by Author Rebecca Donovan that I’ve gotten the privilege to read. I’ve read many reviews and tweets about this series, so I decided to take a chance on it. The synopsis drew me in and I couldn’t wait to get started. The loved the main characters as well as most of the secondary characters. I really liked Emma’s character. She’s a lot stronger than you would think she […]

My thoughts… Amazing. I loved this story. Even though it’s a short read things didn’t seem to be rushed. The story flowed smoothly and kept my attention from beginning until the very end. I was able to read it in one sitting. Both Ivy & Archer have known each other for a long time. He’s always been attracted to his best friend little sister, but has never crossed the line where she is concerned. To […]

My thoughts… I’m so excited to share my thoughts about this book with you. *squee* I loved this one. Hard. For reals. Sam’s a single mom. She became pregnant after having a one-night stand. Said one-night stand didn’t want anything to do with her or the baby. He went as far to say that he didn’t want to be named on the birth certificate. What an asshat. You’ll find out who said asshat is within […]

My thoughts… Damaged 2 is the sequel to Damaged. Although I enjoyed it I don’t think it lived up to my expectations. It started out a little confusing to me, but after reading several pages things started to clear up. As revealed in the first book both Sidney & Peter have run from the problems of their past and now it’s time for Sidney to face hers and move on with her life. This book […]

My thoughts… April Showers is a debut novel by author Karli Perrin. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this one. The synopsis sounded really good so I couldn’t wait to dive into it. It’s such a cute contemporary romance. I really enjoyed reading it. If I hadn’t started it so late in the evening I would’ve been able to get through it in one sitting. So good. The main characters are rich with […]
