Review: Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom – Vanessa Kelly

Review: Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom – Vanessa Kelly

*I received a free ARC of Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom from Kensington Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom is very bold, a great historical romance, with a mystery, reluctant romance, and a very strong and capable heroine. My Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom review: Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom is delightful on all counts! There is a very strong female character, Justine, and I really enjoyed Griffin a lot too. He’s giving the whole ton his middle finger, by actually owning and working a brothel, even if everyone knows that he is of royal descent. Most of the ton also owes him money, and so, when someone delivers a baby to his […]

Review: The Cowboy Rescues a Bride – Cora Seton

Review: The Cowboy Rescues a Bride – Cora Seton

*I received a free ARC of The Cowboy Rescues a Bride from One Acre Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Cowboy Rescues a Bride shows a very different side to Fila than that seen in the prior Cowboys of Chance Creek series. My The Cowboy Rescues a Bride review: Unfortunately, I didn’t find Fila all that compelling or believable, and thus, The Cowboy Rescues a Bride is my least favorite book in this series. Ned, his brothers and their friends are always fun to visit with, but for part of the story, they weren’t around. Fila was a mystery in many ways, very contradicting most of the time. She would start crying when she was singing […]

Review: Rules of Survival – Jus Accardo

Review: Rules of Survival – Jus Accardo

*I received a free ARC of Rules of Survival from Entangled Publishing via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Rules of Survival is an action-packed read, where Mikayla needs to follow her mom’s rules, just to survive another day. And she can never know whom to trust. My Rules of Survival review: Fast-paced, full of action, some romance and Kayla’s rules, Rules of Survival is a very addictive read. From the very beginning, it was clear to me that Kayla was in big trouble, and when two bounty hunters came upon her, that was quickly confirmed. Only, that wasn’t the end of it, suddenly a car came up to the cabin in the woods, and someone started shooting at Kayla […]

Review: You Own Me – Shiloh Walker

Review: You Own Me – Shiloh Walker

*I received a free ARC of You Own Me from Shiloh Walker via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* You Own Me has all the anguish and love from a distance I love in a contemporary romance novel, where the protagonists haven’t ever admitted to each other how they feel about each other. My You Own Me review: Lizzie and Decker are best friends, they have been for a long time, even during the time Decker spent in jail. You Own Me shows how deep Lizzie and Decker’s feelings towards each other are, no matter that Lizzie has a boyfriend she’s been with for the past three years. Little by little, I learned that Lizzie’s boyfriend was a true […]

Review: Vibrant Food – Kemberley Hasselbrink

Review: Vibrant Food – Kemberley Hasselbrink

*I received a free ARC of Vibrant Food from Ten Speed Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Vibrant Food made me salivate, I want to try several of the recipes straight away, and I loved that they are ordered by the season the fruits and vegetables are fresh! And I want a glossy paper version of this book! My Vibrant Food review: The recipes in Vibrant Food are very easy to follow, and those that have wheat have been tested with gluten-free alternatives. If you want to eat healthy, and also make sure your ecological footprint is reasonable, Vibrant Food helps you know the season when the fruits and vegetables will be fresh so that you can […]

Review: In Deep – Terra Elan McVoy

Review: In Deep – Terra Elan McVoy

*I received a free ARC of In Deep from Simon Pulse via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* In Deep is a contemporary YA novel in which the main character is a swimmer. The main storyline depicts friendship and betrayal, as well as obsession with results at all costs. My In Deep review: In Deep shows just how far someone might be able to go, just to be the best at something. Brynn strives to be the best at everything, apart from school work, and she has a competitive relationship with all of those around her. Swimming is the one big thing in Brynn’s life, or at least that’s what she told me in her story. I, however, got […]

Review: Dissonance – Erica O’Rourke

Review: Dissonance – Erica O’Rourke

*I received a free ARC of Dissonance from Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers via Edelwiess in exchange of an honest review* Dissonance opens up multiverses of possibilities so vast it made my head spin in a good way! My Dissonance review: The concept of Dissonance – that each and every time a person makes a choice in the key world, they create at least one echo world where the echo of themselves made the other choice – is one that I love. If you have ever thought ‘what if…’ you will get the excitement I felt when I started reading. I stayed glued to my kindle reading throughout the whole day – and awake part of the night […]

Review: The Geography of You and Me – Jennifer E. Smith

Review: The Geography of You and Me – Jennifer E. Smith

*I received a free ARC of The Geography of You and Me from Little, Brown Books for Young Readers via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Fresh, cute and filled with longing, The Geography of You and Me transported me to faraway places. My The Geography of You and Me review: The Geography of You and Me follow Lucy and Owen during their unlikely meeting, and the months afterwards. Meeting in New York, they both move shortly after their initial meeting, and through a few postcards, a lot of longing and some e-mails, they stay in touch. They only spent one night together, a strange night while New York City as a whole suffered through a power outage, and they […]

Review: Hot Secrets – Lisa Renee Jones

Review: Hot Secrets – Lisa Renee Jones

*I received a free ARC of Hot Secrets from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Hot Secrets is a quick and hot read, but a little weak on the character development. My Hot Secrets review: Hot Secrets starts with Royce and Lauren meeting a party for Lauren’s father. Royce is keeping a secret from Lauren from the beginning, especially because he can feel that there is an attraction between them. Lauren’s father has hired Royce to be Lauren’s security guy, because he has received threats against her. The fact that Lauren is the assistant district attorney on a very high profile case does not make things easy for Royce at all. Lauren is confident and secure in her work, […]

Review: One Night with a Cowboy – Elizabeth Otto

Review: One Night with a Cowboy – Elizabeth Otto

*I received a free ARC of One Night with a Cowboy from Entangled: Indulgence via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Stubborn, hot cowboy… Hot, sweet city chick… One Night with a Cowboy is a reluctant romance that got me crying huge, fat tears in the end. My One Night with a Cowboy review: One Night with a Cowboy is hot, sweet and filled with both romance and heartache. And because – cowboy! – it’s also the kind of contemporary story I just love to read. I don’t know what it is about cowboys, apart from the fact that there are none in Switzerland, but I just find them hot, funny and charismatic in my books. Tucker is no […]
