WHATEVER LIFE THROWS AT YOU is a young adult contemporary romance that takes place in Kansas City and centers around the Royals baseball team. This is an addictive, sports romance with a forbidden element that I had a hard time putting down, but longed for a more involved ...
Book Review – Whatever Life Throws at You by Julie Cross
Audiobook Review – Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren
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 ...
Book Review – Craving by Helen Hardt
Work has been really crazy for me, so I've been on the hunt for quick, mindless romances to read. I remember seeing this series all over the place—on social media, advertisements on prominent bloggers' websites. I thought with so many popular bloggers essentially endorsing ...
Book Review – This Love Story Will Self-Destruct by Leslie Cohen
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 ...

Book Review – Sugar Daddy by Lisa Kleypas
Lisa Kleypas's contemporary romance debut, SUGAR DADDY, is a blend of a coming-of-age story and a love story. Liberty Jones's voice is charming and I felt immediately connected to her and her story from page one. Though, I felt frustrated with how the romance (or should I ...
Book Review – There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins
Stephanie Perkins moves away from contemporary young adult romance in the horror-like story of a small town terrorized by a serial killer. THERE'S SOMEONE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE has several suspenseful moments, but when it comes to finding out why this person was slaughtering ...
Audiobook Review – White Fur by Jardine Libaire
"Love, he thinks, is accidental, fleeting—he can’t possibly deserve it." Jardine Libaire's White Fur is the story of two people in the 1980's who fall in love quite unconventionally and then struggle to make it when social status and class get in the way. Libaire's writing ...
