Government drone by day and book lover and geek girl by night! I review on Goodreads, StoryGraph, and NetGalley.

Into the Sublime

Into the Sublime by Kate A. Boorman

July 14, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review.  Well the cover was great. After that….this book was a whole big miss. I was tempted to give it 2 stars because at least I finished it, but honestly I struggled. I almost DNFed this book multiple times. Nothing makes sense in the end and none of the characters were developed at all. And then the ending, whatever to that. “Into the Sublime” follows Amelie Desmarais who is […]

Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake

Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake by Mazey Eddings

July 11, 2022 by Classic 2 Comments

Please note that I received this via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review.  So here’s my problem. The sex scenes in this book were top tier. I mean they sizzled off the page. And then the rest of the plot was a mess and it just didn’t read as realistic to me which is why I had a hard time with it. Also, I started to see Lizzie as selfish after a while, and I hated that it kept getting chalked up […]

To Get to the Other Side

To Get to the Other Side by Kelly Ohlert

July 11, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. What an odd romance. I just wish that I could have liked it more than I did. I just thought after the first few chapters I read that the characters of Trixie and Bear fell flat. And also, I would have strangled Trixie with the whole let’s have animals all over the place thing she was into. The insta-love thing as a plot never really works for me […]

Lie to Her

Lie to Her by Melinda Leigh

July 11, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. So this was a fantastic read in the Bree Taggert series. Maybe because this is the first one where Leigh decided to have us follow the murderer the way we did. I was honestly surprised by the reveal of who it was too (which I always love) and loved the back and forth chapters following Bree and Matt via third person point of view to the first person point […]

The Bodyguard

The Bodyguard by Katherine Center

July 11, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. So this was a weird one. It’s definitely a romance. But I felt like the romance between Hannah and Jack took way too long to get going. I wasn’t picking up any he’s really into her vibes at all in this until a key point in the book. It also as some have pointed out felt like a very slapstick book. I mean I laughed a lot. Robby […]

The Blame Game

The Blame Game by Sandie Jones

July 11, 2022 by Classic 1 Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. I will forever be baffled by the fact that I just can’t quit Sandie Jones’s books. I have not ever rated one a 5 star, but they end up being so entertaining in kind of goofy ways IMHO that I kind of want to. But for me, 5 star reviews means that I will re-read that book in the future. And there’s no way I am re-reading this […]
