Sweet Talk by Cara Bastone

What the Hex by Alexis Daria

Sweet Talk By Cara Bastone   This story was absolutely adorable and I loved it!     The main premise is that Elliot sends a voice message text at 2 a.m. to a wrong number.  JD (not her real name, but what she’s referred to for most of the story) is already awake to receive said voice text.  She responds, and they go back and forth before Elliot realizes that he hasn’t been talking to his sister.  JD knows who Elliot is immediately – she had […]

A ridiculously gorgeous cover, a slowburn romance, and all the drama

You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

CBR13Bingo: Gateway First off, wow, this cover. This is the cover that all illustrated romance covers aspire to be. Plus, it fits the book perfectly, steamy and romantic and steeped in the author’s heritage. In my eyes, it’s the mark of a good author to make me care about something in a book that I know nothing about in real life. I knew Alexis Daria was capable of it; I loved her Dance Off series, which was centered around a reality dance competition. So when I […]

What a way to start the year

You Had Me At Hola by Alexis Daria

by Leave a Comment

After failing miserably to keep up with reviews last year, I’m hoping to do better with this Cannonball. And so to start off my year of reading I picked You Had Me At Hola by Alexis Daria. This romance reminded me a lot of Jasmine Guillory’s better books. Jasmine is a soap star looking to get a big break and make more of her career. She lands the lead role on a series for a streaming service and is determined to make the most of it. […]

A sweet telenovela romance.

Thanks to Netgalley and Avon for an ARC of this book! This was fun! I liked but didn’t love her first book. This one worked much better for me. I loved the telenovela TV set background. I really liked both characters, and thought they had great chemistry with each other. The secondary characters could have used some rounding out, but the book was pretty short, so there might not have been time. I would actually have liked this to be longer so it could be […]

Jasmine’s Leading Lady Plan

You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

by 2 Comments

I’ve been hearing buzz about Alexis Daria’s You Had Me at Hola for weeks. I was very happy to see it on NetGalley and to receive a copy in exchange for an honest review. It’s wonderful, I finished it in just a few hours. Actress Jasmine Lin Rodriguez is back in her hometown, NYC, to take the lead in a remake of an old telenovela, Carmen in Charge. She’s excited about the new roll and the career boost this could be, but her face is all […]

Romancing on DWTS

Dance With Me by Alexis Daria

by 1 Comment

After my traumatic reading of The Liar’s Club, I was eager to get back to some unrealistic, but fun and romantic stories with a fairy tale ending. I don’t watch much television anymore (unless I can get it on Netflix), but when I did, I was a sucker for Dancing With the Stars. Being a bad dancer myself, I feel like I can really appreciate the talent of the professional dancers on the show. And there’s something about the pairing of professionals and other famous people that […]
