I'm addicted to all things Ilona Andrews, that means I usually re-read series whenever new books are being released. Which I did for Ruby Fever too, and for me it's the best kind of reading experience. I immerses myself into their world, and won't come out until a week or weeks later and afterwards I have the biggest book hangover ever - lol.... Read More
Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood | BOOK REVIEW
I definitely have authors I tend to pick up more often than others, and that's usually because of the writing. For me, more than any other aspect, the writing is what makes a story great for me. And I definitely enjoy this author's writing. ... Read More
Soul Taken by Patricia Briggs | BOOK REVIEW | Mercy Thompson #13
Nowadays, the wait is always long, but once a year I get a new instalment either of the Mercy Thompson or Alpha & Omega series and the world is ok again. Even better both series are part of the same universe and the characters and wolf packs are tightly connected. Makes for one great series.... Read More
Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
I must admit at first the only reason I became interested in the book was the comparison to A Man Called Ove and the reviews which were glowing. Thankfully, Remarkably Bright Creatures is actually a popular book that delivers and doesn't disappoint.... Read More
Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score | BOOK REVIEW
A Lucy Score book guarantees two things - great banter and awesome humor. I love both if it's done right, and it's definitely done right in THINGS WE NEVER GOT OVER. My most favorite book her is still ROCK BOTTOM GIRL, which I have read multiple times so far, and it just doesn't get old. But THINGS WE NEVER GOT OVER was a fantastic read, with so many beloved tropes, and the author's signature wit and banter.... Read More
Husband Material by Alexis Hall | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW | London Calling #2
When I finished Boyfriend Material I knew I needed more of Luc and Oliver. I wasn't ready to say goodbye to them yet, and I can't tell you how happy I was when I found out that there would be two more books about them.... Read More
Thank You for Listening by Julia Whelan | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
I should mention that I'm a HUGE fan of Julia Whelan the audiobook narrator so it crushed me when I didn't LOVE her debut novel My Oxford Year. The book just didn't click with me. And if I think back it just wasn't what I expected.... Read More
The Maid by Nita Prose | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
When I picked up THE MAID for the first time I expected something extraordinary thanks to the many amazing reviews I've seen so far. Instead I found it to be entertaining, a solid debut novel, but not overly outstanding, with a bit of a misleading synopsis.... Read More
Book Lovers by Emily Henry | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
Ever since I struggled with BEACH READ (DNFed it multiple times) I switched over to listening to her books and it works for me. I LOVE listening to Emily Henry books. Maybe because no other than Julie Whelan narrates her books. The woman could read her grocery list and I'll listen to her.... Read More
The Bodyguard by Katherine Center | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
Every Katherine Center novel is more than just what you see on the surface. Her books are feel good novels, with wonderful characters, emotional backstories and sweet and caring heroes.... Read More
Every Summer After by Carley Fortune | BOOK REVIEW
Heartfelt and genuine. I think from the very beginning I had the feeling as if I read someone's actual love story. The descriptions of rural Canada, and just the way it was told- it felt refreshingly authentic.... Read More
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
Oh man, I'm sure I'm one of the last people to read this book. But my track record with really popular books is so bad, that I knew I had to give myself some time before I picked it up. And it turns out, it was the right decision and the right time for me to give Addie LaRue a chance.... Read More
Nora Goes Off Script by Annabel Monaghan | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
I'm getting so tired of all the rehashed romance tropes we all have read hundreds of time. Reading something new is really refreshing but is pretty rare in recent times. That's why NORA GOES OFF SCRIPT is a book that I can only recommend, not just because the reviews are well deserved. It's just really nice to read something different once in a while.... Read More
Nightwork by Nora Roberts | BOOK REVIEW
It's no secret that I'm a big fan of NR, especially when it comes to her standalone books which she releases once a year. Thanks to her I found keepers like THE SECRET and UNDER CURRENTS and many more. Not every of her book becomes and instant favorite, but all of them are page turners, entertaining from beginning to end.... Read More
Maggie Moves On by Lucy Score | BOOK REVIEW
I came across Lucy Score in 2018 when I stumbled across her rom-com The Worst Best Man and fell in love with her signature style of witty banter and strong heroines. The book became one of my first 5 STAR books by her, soon followed by my favorite book - ROCK BOTTOM GIRL. It's one of the books I pick up whenever I'm in a reading slump - which I'm quite often if I'm honest. I have a list here of the books I read when I need to get out of a book slump.... Read More
Running Wild by KA Tucker | BOOK REVIEW
I came across THE SIMPLE WILD on Bookstagram in 2018. But when I read it I fell heads over heels in love with Calla and Jonah. And since then they have become one of my all time favorite contemporary romance couples and it's a book/series I recommend to everyone who will listen to me.... Read More
The Long Game by Rachel Reid | BOOK REVIEW | (Game Changers #6)
When I read Shane and Ilja's rather unconventional love-story in HEATED RIVALRY (one of the best enemies to lovers romances I ever read) I became obsessed with them. They were such interesting individuals - strong, confident and equally successful - and their magnetic connection was something that stole my breath and impossible to forget.... Read More
The Unknown Beloved by Amy Harmon | BOOK REVIEW
I have read and enjoyed Amy Harmon's book ever since I came across MAKING FACES in 2014 - one of the most beautiful YA books to date. Since then I watched her grow into an amazing author. Her books are often based on true events, or actual people and because of it they are vibrant beyond words.... Read More
Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez | BOOK REVIEW
I'm not usually a fan of age gap, but I thought the author managed it well. Because in the end the almost 10 year difference between the couple didn't feel like a hurdle. Alexis is a successful city ER physician, and Daniel a skilled carpenter from a small town. It doesn't sound like a relationship between those two should work, but Daniel gets Alexis in such a way that small town suddenly feels more like home than Alexis's actual home. And I loved that for her!!!... Read More
The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
Although I don't watch The Bachelor I enjoy reading novels that focus on dating shows, like ONE TO WATCH and ROYALLY MATCHED. The drama, and the behind the scenes moments are what makes these books so entertaining. Also, I love it when an author surprises me, especially if I thought I had the story all figured out. I was very pleased with the last third of the book.... Read More
Crowbones by Anne Bishop | BOOK REVIEW | (The World of the Others, #3; The Others, #8)
Anne Bishop has been a favourite author for a few years now. If I remember correctly I found her when I was looking for new Urban Fantasy authors to read, and I stumbled over her THE OTHERS series, starting with Written in Red. Not surprisingly I was a goner after I met Meg and Simon and the crew at Lakeside. And of course I was crushed when the author finished writing about Lakeside, and I thought I would never get to come back to this world. Fortunately for me the author started writing other novels about the same world.... Read More
Mr. Wrong Number by Lynn Painter | BOOK REVIEW
I really enjoyed the author's debut novel BETTER THAN THE MOVIES earlier this year and was excited to find out that she has another one in the works. Being able to read it early was a true privilege and I'm as always grateful for the opportunity.... Read More
Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World by Benjamin Alire Sáenz | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW (Aristotle and Dante #2)
Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World by Benjamin Alire Sáenz | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW – This post... Read More
The Damaged by Tijan | BOOK REVIEW | (The Insiders Trilogy #2)
I have been a big fan of Tijan's for many years now. Some of her books are even on my 'what to read when in a book reading slump' list. Most of her books are addictive, in one way or the other, and some are so over the top dramatic that they need their own category. But her books are ALWAYS on the top of my tbr.... Read More
Love, Lists, and Fancy Ships by Sarah Grunder Ruiz | AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
The book was a wonderful blend of women's fiction and romance. Although the story is about the heroine's journey of healing after losing a loved one, it's also about a romance that delivered in every aspect. The love story between Jo and Alex was well done, fleshed out to the point that their attraction was believable and felt authentic. The romantic side of the story is rather slow burn and closed door, but the speed of Jo and Alex's relationship felt realistic and most of all fit the story.... Read More
Finlay Donovan Knocks ‘Em Dead by Elle Cosimano | BOOK REVIEW | (Finlay Donovan #2)
Early last year I got my hands on FINLAY DONOVAN IS KILLING IT and devoured it. I had such a grand time that I couldn't wait to get my fingers on the sequel.... Read More
Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly | BOOK REVIEW
The book had HEART, messy and realistic characters, and the most likeable couple. Also, I can't get enough of books centered around cooking shows, I already read this year Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake as well as Battle Royal and this topic just doesn't get old. I love them. Although, the books including LOVE & OTHER DISASTERS never go far enough in regards to the contest if you ask me - I always need MORE - but that just means I have to finally catch up with TGBBO. ... Read More
Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover | BOOK REVIEW
I'm honest here, Colleen Hoover books were never on my radar until REGRETTING YOU. I got curious about all the hype around her name and boy was I glad I gave her books a chance, because REGRETTING YOU became my last 5 star read of 2019 and an instant re-read. And I found a new auto-buy author!!!... Read More
If This Gets Out by Sophie Gonzales | BOOK REVIEW | A YA MM ROMANCE
I just recently read my first book by Sophie Gonzales, PERFECT ON PAPER and really enjoyed it. Her writing and humor is right up my alley and I can only recommend the book. So, when I realized that she wrote a MM YA romance with another author I had to pick it up.... Read More
Fated Blades by Ilona Andrews | BOOK REVIEW
I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm a HUGE fan of Ilona Andrews, their books are like comfort food for the soul. I re-read them constantly, and get the biggest book hangovers from my binge reads. I definitely wish they would write faster.... Read More
