Oaths of Legacy by Emily Skrutskie
I wasn’t a big fan of Gal in the last book, so when I heard this one would be from his POV? Well, I had my reservations. Luckily, while I spent most of the book wanting to smack Gal upside the head, I also very much enjoyed it. This book contains definite spoilers for Bonds of Brass, so be warned! “It never would have worked,” I tell him. “It took me a while to understand it, but . . . I got there.” I got there […]
Sweet Berries by C.M. Nascosta
(I would like to add that this review is completely katie71483‘s fault. I would probably still be living in blissful ignorance, completely unaware of several scientific facts about moth genitalia that I had to hastily google while reading the book, without Katie.) Morning Glory Milking Farm was one of the most surprisingly gentle and sweet romances I read last year, so when I found out that the next book in the series was out and it featured a mothman, my favorite cryptid ever? Of course I […]
Partners in Crime by Rachel Bowdler
I got drawn in by the adorable cover (ok but seriously why don’t they have EYES?) and then when I found out it was a friends-to-lovers? sapphic murder mystery novella? SOLD. Bryce and Thea have been best friends for years. They co-host a mildly popular weekly true crime podcast, though the rest of their lives is, well, mediocre at best. They’re both sort of treading water, with the podcast – and their friendship – being the bright spot in their lives. Bryce works six days […]
Hunt the Stars by Jessie Mihalik
Hello, welcome back to Malin reviews things she read several months ago, in this case – FIVE whole months. Let’s start off with the official book description: Octavia Zarola would do anything to keep her tiny, close-knit bounty hunting crew together—even if it means accepting a job from Torran Fletcher, a ruthless former general and her sworn enemy. When Torran offers her enough credits to not only keep her crew afloat but also hire someone to fix her ship, Tavi knows that she can’t refuse—no […]
Christmas Romance by Catherine Hart, Betina Krahn, Linda Ladd, Barbara Dawson Smith, Katherine Sutcliffe
Because why not kick off the summer with Christmas romances? A Christmas Melodie (Catherine Hart) – 2.5 stars Melodie is a mail order bride on her way out to Colorado, but when she is snowed in with a handsome widower and his four children, she gets rather side-tracked. I found Melodie likable, but the hero David to be rather annoying with how pushy he was. I also didn’t love that a child-free heroine ended up changing her mind merely on a few days acquaintance with […]
Hideaway by Nora Roberts
Nora Roberts is one of my go-to authors – if I’m looking for a book that is just dependable for an entertaining read, I know she’s not going to let me down. She used to be a ‘read immediately upon publication’ author, but I find that if I save her new-to-me-books for days when I just can’t get into anything, or when I’m on day three of a migraine (the day that’s more like a migraine hangover for me, where I can kind of focus, […]
