• Review: Addicted by Elle Kennedy

    Review I didn’t enjoy it as much as I did the first book. However, I think this is a solid sequel to the general series arc. Also, I’ve been introduced to both Lennox and Jamie in the first book, and Hudson even hinted at the more-than-platonic feelings that Lennox had for Jamie that Jamie had for Rylan. I had fun reading about how these two best friends who’ve known each other their whole lives moved on from being friends who’ve…

    Review This was was an okay read. The main characters had their good points individually. The hero sometimes came across as tactless and unfiltered. But he was an okay alpha male hero who entertained me, so I have no complaints there. The heroine was also enjoyable to read. For a stepbrother/stepsister book, this wasn’t too taboo because that fact didn’t factor in when they first fell for each other. It’s steamy, but not over-the-top. It’s not really that amazing, but…

  • Review: 30 Days by Christine d’Abo

    April 22, 2020 persephone

    Review I think this book has a very good premise. I found it bittersweet and touching that the heroine’s dead husband himself was the one helping her to move on. I feel sad because it’s not easy losing the person you love. I feel hopeful too because nobody should live the rest of their lives without having someone to share it with. 30 Days is an amped up chick lit. When I say amped up, I am referring to the…

  • Review: .38 Caliber Cover-Up by Angi Morgan

    April 20, 2020 persephone

    Review Harlequin Intrigue is probably my least favorite line out of all Harlequin’s imprints. There are, however, some books from Intrigue that I like. This one, unfortunately, is not one of those. I like it, but I think this only rates a three from me. The plot is interesting, fast-paced, and action-filled. I quite enjoyed the chemistry between the main characters. There’s nothing wrong with how the book was written. I actually commend Angi Morgan for not writing a cheesy…

  • Review: #Holiday by Cambria Hebert

    April 19, 2020 persephone

    Review I don’t think that whatever took place in this novella was in any way significant to the series as a whole, or even if there’d be future books to look forward to. However, as a fan of the series, as someone who has loved and followed Ivy, Braeden, Rimmel, and Romeo, this novella is like a balm to a thirsty soul. It’s great to read about them again and hang out with them and the entire family.   Series…

  • Review: With This Ring by Georgia Le Carre

    April 5, 2020 persephone

    Review One thing I enjoy about Georgia Le Carre’s books is that they are always steamy. The hero is always an alpha, and the heroines always give as good as they get. This book doesn’t disappoint in the steam and chemistry aspects. The reason I’m rating this only 3 is because the plot has become formulaic. I’ve read several books from her, and I know that some of them have more depth and character development, so while this book is…
