Review: Never Kiss a Duke

Never Kiss a Duke Never Kiss a Duke by Megan Frampton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

*I was given an ARC by the publisher under no obligation*
This was a wonderful read. I really like the idea behind Sebastian losing his title and what that meant for him and the changes and choices he had to make because of it. It was a refreshing twist on the usual trope and one that I enjoyed thoroughly. Ivy is a wonderful and fierce spirit and I really enjoyed their relationship very much.
And Nash, oh boy, I can't wait to read your story.

Review: Chasing Cassandra

Chasing Cassandra Chasing Cassandra by Lisa Kleypas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It's just... so wonderful. I have to be honest, I was not sold on Tom Severin prior to this book. I was really hoping to have one of Marcus' son or for crying out loud one of the Hathaways' offspring to come sweep Cassandra of her feet and have her swoon but how wrong I was. Once again, Kleypass does it again. Tom's absolute fascination with Cassandra is both hilarious and wonderful and I felt for her, for all the things she craved and wanted in life and thought she could never have.
And don't get me started on Buzzle because my heart can't take it all.
From beginning to end, a wonderful read.

Review: The Best Man Problem

The Best Man Problem The Best Man Problem by Mariah Ankenman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 stars. I really liked the idea of this book although I feel their relationship could have been more explored. I liked their background and the reasons for both of them to be wary of starting a relationship. But I felt that I was more told than shown how they fell in love... and I would have liked more emphasis to be put on that part. But a good book overall

Review: Mismatched in Mayhem

Mismatched in Mayhem Mismatched in Mayhem by L.E. Rico
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was an entertaining book to read, but nothing really stood out for me. The characters were ok but I struggle to understand the heroine's self-punishment. I really liked Mason as a character and how he deals with the things in his life but I wasn't that sold on Walker

Review: Blood & Ash

Blood & Ash Blood & Ash by Deborah Wilde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There are several things I like about Deborah Wilde's writing and they are all present in this book. There's a kick-ass heroine thrown into a destiny she didn't want and has no idea how to solve for.
There's a hero that is just the right amount of cockiness and good intentions.
There's a frenemies to reluctant partners to lust partners in which you know YOU KNOW those two idiots feel a lot more than what they admit, and it's full of banter and great moments.
There are great secondary characters that you'll love to pieces (hello Miles, you look like my next mistake).
And the worldbuilding in this one is absolutely amazing. A strong beginning for a series that I know I'm going to enjoy and I can't wait to read the next one!

Review: Love Her or Lose Her

Love Her or Lose Her Love Her or Lose Her by Tessa Bailey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 stars!I love a lot of things on this book and one of them is the shockingly pretty accurate description of Argentinian food. I was preparing myself to curse under my breath over that one but it was really good.
I really REALLY love the topic of this book and how it really goes deep into two people that got married young and lost themselves along the way. I like that there are no villains, no guilt parties and it's about working together to understand one another. A wonderful read that makes me forgive the berry jam in the alfajores and the spiced pork in the empanadas. :P
Great great GREAT book
(and I can't wait for Wes and Bethany)
