Delicate Ink by Carrie Ann Ryan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This was my first introduction to Carrie Ann Ryan’s work. Not usually a fan of the dom/sub genre I almost put the book down the first time it was mentioned…. and I’m so glad that I didn’t.

The Montgomery clan is a hoot and I can’t wait to get a closer look at several other family members. Sierra and Austin were both great characters, well developed, and interesting. As I already mentioned the supporting cast really enhanced the story. Solid book!

Ringing in the New Year by Alexa Riley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Short, sweet, and everything I’ve come to expect from an Alexa Riley book. Equal parts super, duper sweet and smoking hot.

Running into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Starting the new year right by finishing this cute story. Levi is the ultimate contemporary book boyfriend. Athletic, handsome, smart detective who sets his sights on tiny Fawn after a chance encounter. Fawn was a tougher nut to crack- she’s had a rough time dating (which doesn’t necessarily jive with her adorable tinker bell looks and heart of gold). Therefore she’s resistant to Levi and their budding romance… but in weird ways. I enjoyed the story, reading about their over-the-top families, and the epilogue was perfection.

Becoming A Vincent by C.M. Owens

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Omg! This book was fan-fucking-tasting!!! I would have given it 6 stars if I could!!! Hilarious, sexy, fun, interesting… an all around great read!!!

Tomahawk is a small lake town in Washington where the local folks are crazy. 4 families are crazy enough to be labeled “the wild ones” and relegated to separate sections of the lake to avoid catastrophe and mayhem. Lillah and her two brothers (triplets) are wild ones. Their antics make the story so much fun to read. Lillah herself is hilarious and I instantly connected with her. “Personally, if you’re running regularly, I assume you’re hiding something nefarious and practicing your getaway for whatever is coming after you. And I don’t want to be your friend, because I hate running.” Boom- after reading that Lillah became my instant best friend!

Now, what can I saw about Benson? First and foremost I LOVE how he accepts and celebrates Lillah’s craziness. His physical description is drool worth yet he’s a little too guarded which made for an interesting book but prohibits him from becoming a permanent fixture on my list of book boyfriends.

Very much looking forward to the next book in the series!!!

Verity by Colleen Hoover

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Horrific and wonderful. Warped beyond belief…. and I loved it. I won’t be able to sleep tonight but I can’t rate this book anything less than 5 stars.

I literally don’t know how to provide a through review without ruining the book for future readers. Download the book with an open mind and prepare to be wonderfully destroyed.

Enjoy!

Royal by Winter Renshaw

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Five bright, shining (but very “angsty”) stars. Winter Renshaw really dragged her readers through an emotional roller coaster with this story… and I loved every second of it!

Demi Rosewood grew up in the quintessential family/neighborhood. Loving parents, supportive siblings, all around well-rounded childhood. Royal grows up in foster care because his morbidly obese mother was unfit due to her gambling addiction. The two meet when Demi’s brother Derek befriends Royal. The Rosewood family falls in love with Royal and he ends up living there after he ages out of the foster care system. Something happens when Royal is 19 (as a reader you’re kept in the dark about what it is until the very end) and Demi’s father forbids anyone from contacting Royal ever again.

7 years later and after a car accident almost claims the life of Demi’s fiancé guess who shows up!?! Yup! Royal! And he’s about to throw everyone’s life as they knew it upside down!

Buckle up for this story! Lots of unfair, frustrating twists and turns as the story evolves.

Show Me the Way by A.L. Jackson




I’m disappointed to put this one in my DNF category. Originally this book landed on my “Want To Read” list back in March of last year. I’m not sure why, but time and time again I passed it up for something else. Finally 2 days ago I decided to take the plunge.

So why the DNF at 32% complete? First, there’s instalove/lust that isn’t my favorite but I was willing to look past it. Secondly the portrayal of Rex’s 4 year old daughter isn’t accurate. Yes, children can be absolutely adorable at times but not all the time. They are human and will have bad days and good days. It’s a pet peeve of mine when authors portray kids as angelic/in-human creatures. Plus her lisp/speech was grating on my nerves. Also, it’s mentioned that Rynna’s grandmother was in financial trouble with both her business and house. The closure of her restaurant coincides with her passing but also her financial troubles? If her business was so popular why the financial problems? Did she die the instant the business closed or did the failing business close because she passed away? Worst of all… when Rynna is cleaning out the restaurant kitchen it mentions she’s wiping up 30 years worth of grease and grime from the equipment. (Yes, it was also dusty but that can be explained away with being closed for 2 months.) Was her grandma running a dirty diner? Gross.

Strong Suit by Lauren Blakely

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Short and sweet….and FREE! I enjoyed the story and characters but was left hanging. It’s not a full book (or at least it’s part of a series that should be read together).
