I decided to pick this up audiobook because so many of my fellow readers loved this book hard. I can see why LOVE AND OTHER WORDS connected with so many readers, but I didn't entirely feel the same level of adoration to the story as a whole. Through past/present ...

Audiobook Review – Appealed by Emma Chase
May 3, 2018 by · Leave a Comment
I enjoyed Overruled and Sustained, the first two books in Emma Chase's Legal Brief series, so I wanted to give the final book in the trilogy a try. While it certainly offered the same steam factor as the previous books, the plot was too generic and full of cliches that ...
Book Review – This Love Story Will Self-Destruct by Leslie Cohen
April 25, 2018 by · Leave a Comment
THIS LOVE STORY WILL SELF-DESTRUCT is an all-consuming read. Leslie Cohen's debut rendered me completely useless on a snowy Sunday in April (yes, April. Spring is drunk). This book had the perfect balance of funny and light-hearted moments with depth and emotion. Highly ...
Audiobook Review – Dancing on Broken Glass by Ka Hancock

One of the signs of a great book is how it affects you emotionally. When I say that, I don't mean that it makes you cry necessarily but rather how invested you are in the characters and their journeys. With DANCING ON BROKEN GLASS, I felt everything. I rejoiced with Lucy and ...
Audiobook Review – Dating You / Hating You by Christina Lauren
September 19, 2017 by · 2 Comments
Dating You / Hating You is a Christina Lauren-fied love-to-hate romance between two rival co-workers in an LA-based talent agency. My reading relationship with Christina Lauren's novels have been hit or miss. Some of their steamy contemporary romances are ones I revisit ...
Book Review – Are You Sleeping by Kathleen Barber
July 31, 2017 by · 1 Comment
Kathleen Barber's ARE YOU SLEEPING blends two formats together: the true crime podcast and a psychological thriller. Readers who are fans of true crime podcasts may want to give this book a try. I felt this novel was missing something, either unique plot and/or riveting ...

Do you think you could go more than twenty years without touching another person? Without feeling the simplest display of comfort, a consolation, a hug, a brushed kiss on the forehead? "One time, a boy kissed me and I almost died." Due to a rare genetic mutation, Jubilee ...
Book Review – Beautiful by Christina Lauren
December 9, 2016 by · 2 Comments
BEAUTIFUL was such a fun send off to the whole Beautiful series gang. My absolute favorite couple, Hanna and Will, were prominent characters in this one and I just had a blast reading (and later listening) to Beautiful from beginning to end. Jensen and Pippa are the two ...

*** My comments on the audiobook of I'm Thinking of Ending Things are at the end of this review. I reread it in July 2016. Book Review: "There are certain things in life, not very many, that are real, confirmed cures for rainy days, for loneliness. Puzzles are like that. ...
Audiobook Review – Beautiful Boss by Christina Lauren

Last year when I was at the Romantic Times convention, I found out that Christina Lauren were writing a novella featuring my absolute FAVORITE couple from the Beautiful Bastard series, Will and Hanna. Even though the novellas in this series have been underwhelming, I ...
