Problematic Summer Romance

Problematic Summer Romance

Review #603 I’ll give this audiobook a 4.0/5 stars. It wasn’t my favorite Ali Hazelwood book so far.  I don’t mind age gaps if they’re of legal age and they have a truthful connection. But Maya is actually quite annoying and young and immature so I’m a bit put...

Review #602 Finally! A 5/5 star rating! I picked this up at the airport terminal during a flayed flight not realizing it came out that exact day. ‘Poetry in motion’ is how the heroine is described. But it’s also how this book should be described. Yes, it’s a tiny bit...

Review #601 Freida books are always addicting and quick reads but the characters start to get annoying and repetitive after a bit into it. I’d rate it a 4.25/5 stars. I don’t have much to comment other. Some distracting details- 1) Why is Blake wearing only boxers...

Review #600 The Shadow Bride by Shelby Mahurin finishes this duology. I liked the first better and rated this one a 4.0/5 stars.  Vampire books bother me for two main reasons -immortality -too much blood description  But I love their dark vibes in general So...

Scythe & Sparrow

Review #599 I’m still unsure if I know the definition of a scythe after finishing lol This is the third standalone in a series of stabby & unhinged main characters. Sometimes it felt like the overlap of the characters from her other books felt a little forced, but...

DNF- A Game of Malice and Greed

So I honestly got overwhelmed about starting another series without having access to all of them since I like binge reading series. The interior artwork is gorgeous. But the font was REALLY small. I also have a hard time connecting to books that have more than two...

Review #598 I feel like a different title could’ve been better. I rated the first half of this series a 4.8/5 stars!!! Beware it ends on a huge cliffhanger after 625 pages. When I first picked up this book, I didn’t know this duology was in the same world as Serpent...

Review #597 Overall I rated this standalone audio a 4.25/5 stars. It was a mix between romance and suspense. My friend recommended this one because the characters are in their 30s. But there are two timelines so the other chapters are at age 22. It starts out with a...

DNF- Puck & Prejudice

This was a bookclub pick but I have a hard time with third person narrative so I honestly didn’t get far and therefore can’t leave a proper review. The cover is adorable and the premise is awesome. Question tho- why is hockey romance such a big thing? I don’t get it...

DNF- Nero

DNF- Nero

This audiobook was a fast burn/traumatized virgin trope with obsessed mafia stalker guy and it wasn’t my thing. Are there are darker contemporary romances out there that are slow burn?

Review #596 My friend gifted me this one and I’m in love. Because of its uniqueness and how much I loved the heroine and her artsy ways, I give this a 4.9/5 stars. Joe could’ve been a bit more dynamic which is why it lost the .1 Yes, the plot twist was predictable but...

DNF- The Quit List

I tried this on audio and didn’t like either of the narrator voices. the female character also seemed annoying in personality. I was intrigued about their meet cute potential but didn’t make it that far so I can’t really write a review.

Review #595 3.75/5 on audio Not my favorite I’m glad the characters had depth and some family drama and weren’t 18 but full fledge adults. Leia the cat was superb & obviously I love a hot fireman But this book was a bit boring, dragged too much & had too many...
