Night Rebels! Shades of Wicked by Jeaniene Frost [Book + Audiobook Review]

I received this book for free from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Audiobook copy purchased by me. Shades of Wicked is one of my most anticipated books for this year and it did not disappoint! I was intrigued with Ian since he appeared in that first scene from One Foot in the Grave. Also, he was a stand-out and one of my favorite characters in Into the Fire! I did not know what to expect when I started Shades of Wicked, […]

I Needed Something to Happen! All the Way by Kristen Proby [ARC Review]

I received this book for free from the Publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Don’t want to read the whole review? Click to jump to the Skinny Review. I don’t know how to start reviewing All the Way by Kristen Proby. It’s not like the book was written horribly, it’s just so – meh. I feel like the whole story was just one note and it didn’t exactly endear me to both characters. All the Way begins a few months after the […]

A Modern Day Fairy Tale! A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole [Audiobook Review]

Don’t want to read the whole review? Click to jump to the Skinny Review. It took me a while to get into A Princess in Theory. In fact, I received an ARC last year and I had put it on-hold since then! When I finally caved and bought the audiobook and listened to it, I was delighted but also a little bit distracted. See, I saw Black Panther this year and the accent the narrator, Karen Chilton, used for Thabiso reminded me of the Wakanda accent and I kept picturing Chadwick Boseman in the Black Panther suit. Also, […]

Curvy Girls for the WIN! It Had To Be You by Susan Elizabeth Phillips [Audiobook Review]

Don’t want to read the whole review? Click to jump to the Skinny Review. It Had To Be You is my very first SEP book and I fell in love with it! This book was published in 1994 and that is really important to note because it affects your understanding of the book. I’m what you call someone who grew up in a time prior to the internet boom, so I know what it was like prior to that. So yeah. This book has a little bit of a nostalgia factor. No cell phones! Car phones?! No social […]

Don’t want to read the whole review? Click to jump to the Skinny Review. The Duke Buys His Bride was an interesting read for me, but it honestly didn’t blow me away.
