I thought the narrationI had the hardest time thinking about how to rate and review this book. I obviously liked it because I listened to it all day. I thought the narration was top notch. I just found myself extremely frustrated with Marissa. I actually got to where I didn’t like her. She constantly took advantage of John, but kept pushing him away. I realize she had good reasons, but then she should have walked away instead of encouraging him and then pushing him away.
Everything else about the book I loved. I even loved a 6 year old who talked like she was an adult. This is my second book by Camilla Isley and I had problems with the characters in the other book as well. I’m thinking we may not be the best fit. It’s too bad because I think she’s good author....more
DNF. I just can’t go on. I started out really liking this, but it’s just making me upset. I don’t want to deal with Scottie’s abusive ex lover so I’m DNF. I just can’t go on. I started out really liking this, but it’s just making me upset. I don’t want to deal with Scottie’s abusive ex lover so I’m taping out. I checked other reviews (I wish I had before I bought it) and that convinced me to walk away. It’s got over a four point rating so I’m in the minority. This is the second time I read, or in this case tried to read, a book by Gianni Homes. I just don’t think that we’re compatible. ...more
Another wonderful book by E. M. Lindsey. I love the way they write. Sometimes I love the way an author writes because the story just flows for me. SomAnother wonderful book by E. M. Lindsey. I love the way they write. Sometimes I love the way an author writes because the story just flows for me. Sometimes I’m not crazy about the writing,but the story is so wonderful I don’t care. With E. M. Lindsey I love both.
This book had so many of my favorite things. I love a single dad. Even with the crazy ex wife Lane was a wonderful character. Actually, the supporting characters really sparked my interest so I think I’ll have to read Frey’s story right away. ...more

2 and 1/2 stars. I can’t give a book a higher rating than this when I could barely tolerate the main character. Aiden was a sarcastic, argumentative, 2 and 1/2 stars. I can’t give a book a higher rating than this when I could barely tolerate the main character. Aiden was a sarcastic, argumentative, bigoted and quick tempered. His entire attitude really put a damper on the book for me. The only reason I didn’t give up after a few chapters was it was that except for Aiden all the other characters of any consequence where engaging. How Nael fell in love with Aiden was beyond my comprehension. Obviously, I finished it and thought it was well written. I’m sorry I couldn’t rate it higher.

I love books about curvy women who embrace themselves. Trixie is not only curvy, but her mother is a retired porn star. I liked the way they started as pretend boyfriend and girlfriend, but that quickly became real. I don’t want to give away anything about the plot, but I’ll just say I enjoyed the way this turned out. I also loved that Trixie didn’t run away from the bullies or anything else. I forgot to mention the rooster that’s jealous of Chris. It’s really funny....more

It will certainly be my list of favorite short stories. I love stories about single dads anyway, and this one has two single dads.

However, I wasn’t a big fan of this book. There were just too many things that bothered me. First of all was the drama. Both Rafe and Theo were broken and sad when they met. Although they found happiness in each other the sadness kept creeping into their relationship. If you add in hateful mothers and mean dangerous ex boyfriends it just got to be a bit much for me. I’ll certainly read the rest of the books in this series. After all , I was looking for a light rom com romance so it’s probably me and not the book....more

ThisI read the first book some time ago and don’t remember it at all. So, maybe that’s why I found this book monumentally boring. Nothing happened….. This was more like reading an epilogue rather than a story. It works ok as a stand alone, but the only plot is keeping a secret from each other and they don’t even try to find out what it is. ...more

I rarely take and read any of these books because they don’t interest me. I was a fifth grade teacher for many years and always enjoyed reading to my students. So when I saw this book I thought why not. It was cute, but it didn’t stand up to the books by Carl Hiaasen or Neil Gaiman that I used to read my students. I still enjoyed it....more

Well, maybe not the time Red spent alone with her bitchy soon to be mother in law. Cade was just the perfect cowboy and Kelsey was the only one who didn’t see it. It was just fun to see her slowly realize how much she loved her life on the ranch. This was just the perfect book for me right now. I love it when I find a new author I love....more

I have to admit I enjoyed this even if I found the entire premise a bit ridiculous. I mean what grown man would listen when his family demands he not date for a year? I also hate the break up at 80% or so. I always feel like that’s lazy writing. Anyway, I like both Skyler and Elliott so they made up for everything else. I listened to the audiobook and Avery Reid was fantastic. I’ll certainly check out other books in this series....more

The prose flowed pretty well, although there were some grammatical errors that should have been corrected in editing. I just didn’t feel the connection between Eli and Colby. Also, Eli was being paid $50,000 for one week so he shouldn’t have been acting so obnoxiously when his first night at the house. Colby said he was being a brat and thought it was cute. I’d have sent him packing. I especially cringed every time they called each other husband. Who does that? ...more

I questioned Ravi’s ease with intimacy with Parker, but I’m aware that people who have autism fall in different places on the spectrum. Anyway, I loved the writing and had only one small complaint. Just like the other book I read by Ezra Duo, there is too much sex for my taste. Don’t get me wrong, I love some sex in my romance, but once these two got together it’s Katie bar the door. I still enjoyed it and plan to read more books by Ezra. ...more

I was a little hesitant about reading this because I didn’t care for the Black and Blue series. I’m so glad I did.

I didn’t really care for either of the main characters. Ezra was moody and angry most of the time, and Gabriel was all over the place. For Enzo to suddenly decide Gabriel wanted to be bossed around was silly to me. It started out strong, but became boring during their trip to New York . I have to admit I started to skim when they got back to Richmond. I’m a fan of Ian O. Lewis, but just not this book. I’m obviously in the minority so what can I say. ...more
