Reviews of my Reading List
Love at First Psych
Review #475 I listened to the audio of First Psych by Cara Bastone because I listened to 3-4 of her other works and loved them. This one was my least favorite of hers at 4.2/5 stars but it was still enjoyable and lighthearted. This clean romance had natural dialogue...
That Time I Got Drunk & Saved a Demon
Review #474 I’m giving this easy, quick, steamy fantasy romance by Kimberly Lemming (with demons!!) a fun 4.7/5 stars. Voice voice and more voice! Love it! All the characters are unique and stand out quickly in such a short page space which is...
The Rebound
Review #473 The Rebound had me on a roller coaster ride of extreme emotions. So even if the book was terrible (which it wasn’t) I’d rate it high because I barely have strong feelings and am grateful for this book to tug some out of me. I thought about the characters...
Legendborn
Review #472 This is a looooong book so settle in. I’m reading it for a bookclub so I’m excited to share thoughts with others. I give this YA (modern) fantasy a 4.6/5 stars. The plot was exciting and fast, the main character had depth and real issues, & the prose...
The Paris Library
Review #471 I gave this historical fiction a 3.4/5 stars. It took me a while longer than usual to get through it. I think my brain is shifting away from this genre overall. Here’s my random notes while reading: Odile is interviewing to work at the library...
Kismet
Review #470 Jo moved to London for her fancy art related job and decided to have a one night stand with a British guy. They hit it off and the sex is amazing. Of course surprise surprise, they work together at her new job. This cute, steamy contemporary romance is a...
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder
Review #469 I gave This YA mystery/drama a 4.0/5 stars. I was Supposed to buddy read it with a friend but she DNF at chapter 7 because she didn’t like the transcript things switching back and forth for the PoV since it took her out of the momentum. I know there...
Enchanted to Meet You
Review #468 Enchanted to Meet You by Megan Cabot got a 4.1/5 stars rating. Written in two points of view of Jessica & Derrick, but it kept throwing me off when Derrick’s PoV changes to 3rd person. It’s a sweet, clean romance of two witches who need to work...
The Accidental Dating Experiment
Review #467 This audio is a 4.3/5 stars. It might be considered a novella based off the length. There are other standalones with their friends as the primary couples. I enjoyed that there were two points of view, the characters had depth and were relatable and...
If Only You
Review #466 If Only You by Chloe Liese got a 4.6/5 star review. This contemporary romance is part of a series (that could be read as standalones) and has two points of view from Ziggy & Sebastian. It’s a sports romance on both sides as MMC & FMC. Ziggy is...
Seven Year Slip
Review #465 “Some of my favorite things I haven’t even done yet.” “I felt starved- the wild girl I wanted to be but never quite was, the kind who yearned to devour the world, one sensation at a time.” I rate this standalone contemporary romance (1 PoV) a strong 4.8/5...

Review #464 This audiobook got a 4.25/5 stars. - lots of action - 2 PoV - Austen inspired - setting plays a big role Amelia had a one night stand with a British man during her vacation tour of historical literature settings. During her hangover she randomly remembered...
Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries
Review #463 The only reason why I finished this is because I read it for a bookclub. I gave it a generous 3.5/5 stars. My favorite parts were Wendell’s charisma and I wanted more of him and Shadow. I also loved the reverse grumpy/sunshine pairing since that’s a...
DNF- Better Hate than Never
I’m super upset I didn’t like this one because I’ve adored all of Chloe’s books so far. At page 23 I was pretty frustrated by so many side characters and feeling confused of who is who and what to focus on…? I’m not a fan of the trope so far since Christopher...
Funny Story
Review #462 Funny Story won the vote for two separate Bookclubs in Raleigh this month so I’ll be hearing a lot of reviews soon I rated this one a 4.5/5 stars. It wasn’t my favorite or least favorite of Emily Henry stories. I haven’t read many romcoms with only one...
