I read this book in one sitting. I was just so in the mood for a good romance novel, one that hit on the expected tropes but didn’t fall into the expected mistakes books in this genre often do. Clichéd experiences abound here, but the characters are round and fully realized, and their interactions feel real. It’s like the best of both worlds. Your id gets its pleasure quota filled, while your rational mind gets characters who act like adults and actually communicate with one […]
These people are in lust, not love
I read Winning It All (Hometown Players) based on the description from the Smart Bitches, Trashy books twitter feed. I’ve been going to professional hockey games since I was a wee little sprite. The cover photo made me laugh for a long time. Also, one of my favorite players, Mathieu Perrault, is French Canadian. He once celebrated a win like this. Amazing, right? Anyway. so this book has Sebastian Deveau who plays defense for the pro team in Seattle (this may happen some day, but […]
Thanks to the CBR romance readers hive mind for this one.
This is another one of those books I probably wouldn’t have touched were it not for the online book reviewing community. Specifically, all of you fellow romance-reading reviewers here at CBR, who read and reviewed Kulti to pieces starting late last year. I’d never even heard of Mariana Zapata until y’all started raving over this book. I’ve learned to trust our collective hive mind over the years, so I picked this up with one of my Audible credits earlier this year, and decided to save […]
Key to My Heart
What can I really say. I loved this book to pieces. It’s been a while since I can say that a book was picture perfect from beginning to end, but I really did find this book worked great. I had no issues with the writing, dialogue, plot, setting or pacing. I went and borrowed a ton of other Sarah Dessen books from the library as soon as I finished “Lock and Key.” I read this for the “Key to My Heart” square for Romance Book […]
Cute, but not my fave.
Everybody here has been losing their minds over this book since it came out, so I knew I would read it eventually because I am a sheep and do what I’m told. BaaaAAAaaaAAAAaaAaAA. ANYWAYS. This book was great. Nothing earth-shattering or revolutionary, just straight up cute romance featuring hate-to-love protagonists. My only real complaint about it is that it wasn’t long enough. I needed at LEAST fifty more pages of them being in that stage right before actually falling in love with each other. This book […]
This book is book crack.
I fell in love with this book within, like, five minutes of starting it. I had zero problems with it, and I went basically full cartoon heart-eyes* the entire time I was reading it. So, you know, keep that in mind for the rest of this review. Critical thinking skills not getting much use here from me. *Or, because I’m watching Steven Universe for the first time right now, we might also say I went full star-eyes. I’m halfway through season one right now and already […]
