Revenge Honeymoon by K.J. Gillenwater My rating: 2 of 5 stars This one was a little disappointing as the synopsis sounded so good but did not deliver. I am all for a close girl friendship and I loved the idea of the two girls going on the honeymoon cruise after Ruby’s fiance left her. I […]

Body Checked by C.J. Cartwright My rating: 4 of 5 stars Ugh, this book was sooooo good. I did not expect this to be as good as it was. This was nicely executed with the edgy sassy girl and the hunky player-athlete guy. In theory, the two shouldn’t work out but they do and it […]

Deadly Sommer by Nicholas Harvey My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book was fascinating to me.

The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book was decent and had some good spice but I couldn’t get myself to care enough about the Yacht talk and PR drama. It all just went right over my head so those parts bored me but the drama, spice, and romance kept […]
