Catch and Keep by Erin Hahn

Catch and Keep by Erin Hahn

by Leave a Comment

Absolutely loved Catch and Keep! I thought the characters of Maren and Joe just worked. I loved the slow building romance from friends (or brother’s little sister friend) to lovers. I also loved how she worked with Joe and his kids too. I was very happy with this one and loved how the timelines skipped towards the end because I always think that romances that end with someone knowing someone else for maybe 6 weeks and getting married is bonkers. “Catch and Keep” follows Maren […]

Full Exposure by Thien-Kim Lam

Full Exposure by Thien-Kim Lam

by 2 Comments

Oh man. This was so so freaking good. I think I enjoyed it so much because I live near DC and have traveled to New Orleans. Thien-Kim Lam captures both cities and the culture very well. She also wrote a very kick-ass hot romance with two leads that I was fully invested in almost as soon as I turned the page. “Full Exposure” follows Josie Parks (a boudoir photographer) who is in New Orleans for a wedding. When the two brides call it off, Josie […]

The Love Haters by Katherine Center

The Love Haters by Katherine Center

Trigger warning: Body image discussions and disordered eating. This book was provided to me via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Oh geez, I tried to get into this one. Really I did. But it was boring. I just didn’t like it and instead really enjoyed two other romances I read this past week much more. I think it’s just because Center had the character of Katie just doing the Too Stupid to Live (TSTL) thing and I just could not after […]

Slaying You by Michelle Gagnon

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Well our serial killer hunter duo pops up again. If you have not read “Killing Me” you are going to be totally lost, so suggest that you don’t try to read this as a stand-alone. It’s been about a year, and Amber has a new girlfriend named Kat. Amber is making her way back to Las Vegas for her friend Dot’s wedding. Amber is still dealing with the […]

One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware

One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware

by Leave a Comment

The ending and reveal on how things ended up the way they did really just ruined my enjoyment of this book. I really wish that Ware had went a different way with this one. I liked the whole idea of this being a homage of “And Then There Were One” with everyone being moved to a deserted island via a reality tv show. But once you get to how they all got there and why and the big gaping plot holes about why X and […]

The Diaries of Adam and Eve by Mark Twain

The Diaries of Adam and Eve by Mark Twain

by 2 Comments

I don’t know how many people have read “The Diaries of Adam and Eve” but it’s honestly probably the only one of Mark Twain’s works that I ever fully enjoyed. I think I gave “Tom Sawyer” 4 stars, but “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” and the constant use of the “n” word turned me off that book very quickly. And I never fully read “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court”. “The Diaries of Adam and Eve” are great, it goes back and forth between […]
