The book was good overall. Linda Howard's White Out is the standout story for me! I've come back to it over and over through the years.
Enjoyable way to revisit our favorite characters!
No spoilers here but do keep in mind that this is the script for the play and not a J.K. Rowling narrative the way we are accustomed to reading. Adjust your expectations accordingly as I did find myself missing her descriptions of the world we all love so well. However, I was completely happy with how the story progressed and how the plot twists were revealed. That was in typical J.K. Rowling form. I was thrilled to catch up with Harry, Ron, and Hermione and enjoyed the perspectives of the new characters quite a bit as well. This is a must read if you read the series as fanatically as I did.
Not a bad alien romance! I enjoyed the first one just slightly more but this one was still good.
Couldn't put it down!
This book was at turns funny, steamy, and sweet. A truly enjoyable read that I couldn't put down. Loved it!
This was wild!
I found this book on the Bananas Romance Novels list on Goodreads and it did indeed push some boundaries! The hero looks a bit like a demon with his horns, tail, fangs and blue-gray skin. The heroine is abducted by little green men from her bedroom on Earth and steps up to be the leader of the other alien abducted women. So strange but I enjoyed it!
I loved getting to know Kaitlyn and Martin in this super sweet smart girl romance! Penny Reid is my new favorite! ❤️❤️
So enjoyable!
This was a well rounded story with fully developed characters that have overcome trauma in their pasts. I laughed and even teared up a bit at parts! Loved the progression of Hannah and Garrett's relationship. Really happy I chose to spend the day with this book!
Wow. I loved this! It reminded me of some of my favorite medieval romances with more fantasy added into the mix. What a win!
I'm back for more Penny Reid romance and enjoyed meeting this bearded bunch! I hadn't read Ashley's book, so I went slightly out of order. I loved the beginning with Jess dressed as sexy Gandalf for Halloween and not knowing which twin Duane was but I'm a sucker for a mistaken identity plot twist. Duane and Jessica had really fiery chemistry that left me laughing when they were bickering and sighing when they weren't.
I enjoyed the way the Iron Wraiths subplot played out because it allowed us to get to know a bit more about the other brothers and the dynamics between them. Cletus might be my favorite! I'm also dying to read Claire's story now and just realized it's the 6th book. Gah!
So enjoyed this! On to the next one!
Devoured.
Okay, so I am just loving this series. I'm just as confused as Lara Jean about who I would choose. John Ambrose might have my heart now. There is just so much to love about these books and Jenny Han's beautiful writing. On to the next one!
Did you say mermaids? I'm in!
In all my years of voracious reading, I don't think I've read a book where the heroine becomes a mermaid. Loads of witches, wolves, vamps and even a dragon or two but never a mermaid. I'm loving it and I feel like I've been missing out!
The story is also really engaging! There are some good mysteries to unravel and the danger Chloe is in feels major. I love the budding romance between Noah and Chloe. I want more! Zeke is also interesting. I can't quite tell where things are going here but I'm intrigued!
This was a touching romance though at times I found it to be a little saccharine and repetitive. I loved Archer's journey and back story, so that made up for everything else.
Yikes, I really wanted to like this more. I really enjoyed Lick. I love a sexy rock star romance romp! This though, I nearly bailed after the first several chapters. Mal in Lick was charming but this Mal was difficult for me to like initially. It wasn't all bad. He eventually grew on me as I began to understand where the mania was coming from. There were funny moments and steamy moments. I still didn't quite connect to him though.
I hoped to see more of Anne's tomboy playfulness return by being with Mal but it feels like she became more of a babysitter for him. At one point, Anne thinks Mal feels like more of a man than ”boy toy” Reece and I hate that I disagree. Mal and Reece both were immature and Anne continued to be used despite her ”boundaries”. In the end, I thought Mal was fine and Anne seemed happy and secure enough to deal with her family issues.
I haven't given up on the series. I'd still like to see what happens with Jimmy and Ben. I kinda want to see Lizzy and Ben together.
An invaluable book for those living with anxiety, phobias, and depression. I've suffered from anxiety most of my life but it intensified about 10 years ago and I began having panic attacks. This book is full of exercises and tips to help you take care of yourself mentally so you can cope.
Helpful Recipes
The majority of this information can be found on Dr. Hyman's website but the book does contain some recipes following the Pegan diet for reference.
Loved this!
I love books that put characters in situations where they are forced to deal with their issues and its even better if an unlikely romance ensues. I felt like the characters were fleshed out well and it was well written to boot. This one is a keeper!
Great Menage!
Really loved this story! Yes, it has its steamy moments but I genuinely came to care about the characters and the storyline. I'll definitely be reading more of this author!
I really enjoyed this book! It was steamy and the push and pull of Max and Anna's relationship kept me entertained and coming back for more. I really can't say that about everything I've read in this genre...I'll definitely be reading more of Melissa Schroeder's work!
3.5 stars
I didn't connect as well with these characters as with some of Kaye's others. Overall, It was a sweet story with some very steamy moments.
So wrong but oh so right...
I really enjoyed Shannon's unique perspective and the scenes with Mateo were deliciously conflictingly HOT. I'll be reading more of this author. **4 stars!!!
Sweet
I loved this little epilogue for Sincerely Carter. The relationship and banter of Carter and Arizona never fails to put me in a good mood. LOVE!
Erotic Short Story
It's a short but more character development would have been nice. The initial scenes and set up were steamy but towards the end it seemed like maybe the author was going for shock value. So-so overall.
Werewolves and Sems oh my!
Fun reading! It's safe to say I'm enjoying the series. I find that I like Eidolon and Wraith just a bit more than Shade, so I'm excited to get Wraith's story in the next book. No spoilers here but I will say that the overall storytelling and the way each story is sets the stage perfectly for the next is really top notch.
What a fun read!
I really enjoyed how Caroline and Simon's relationship developed. The blend of animosity and attraction in the beginning were brilliant and Caroline's quips kept me laughing. The story meandered a bit but it was an enjoyable reading experience nonetheless. 4 stars!
