Review: Stranger on the Shore – Josh Lanyon

Review: Stranger on the Shore – Josh Lanyon

*I received a free ARC of Stranger on the Shore from Carina Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* My Stranger on the Shore Review: Stranger on the Shore is a mystery m/m book, in which Griff wants to write a book about a young boy, heir to a fortune, who was kidnapped twenty years ago. A reporter for a small paper, covering crime, Griff has done his homework, but he’s not feeling so good when he arrives in front of the Arlington mansion on Long Island. It appears that not everybody in the family wants to find Brian again, and Griff himself is pretty sure the boy was killed shortly after he was kidnapped. He does, however, […]

Review: I Am Zlatan – Zlatan Ibrahimovic, David Lagercrantz

Review: I Am Zlatan – Zlatan Ibrahimovic, David Lagercrantz

*I received a free ARC of I Am Zlatan from Random House via Netgalley in exchange of an honest and unbiased review* My I Am Zlatan Review I am Zlatan reads as a stream of consciousness from Zlatan himself. It is as if Lagercrantz wrote down everything Zlatan said during a couple of interviews, and all of the shared thoughts are a part of this book. And while a lot of it was very interesting, there certainly were some things that felt like a little too much, too. Of course, everyone who watches soccer knows who Zlatan Ibrahimovic is, and while I’m not a soccer fan, I have seen parts of his games on TV. And sure, he’s a brilliant […]

Review: Don’t Talk to Strangers – Amanda Kyle Williams

Review: Don’t Talk to Strangers – Amanda Kyle Williams

*I received a free ARC of Don’t Talk to Strangers from Bantam Books via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* My Don’t Talk to Strangers Review Don’t Talk to Strangers is a fantastic, devious and clever suspense story. Complete with a big fat who-dun-it, a most excellent private detective / profiler who used to work for the FBI and a possible serial killer in a small town where there are many small-minded people. Keye Street sure has her work cut out for her when the sheriff of Whisper, Georgia, calls her to ask for her services in a case where two female bodies have been found one on top of the other in the woods, close to a stream. […]

Review: Back to Buckhorn (Buckhorn Brothers #7) – Lori Foster

Review: Back to Buckhorn (Buckhorn Brothers #7) – Lori Foster

*I received a free ARC of Back to Buckhorn from Harlequin HQN via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Back to Buckhorn is an enticing, exciting and very sweet contemporary romance, where the two main characters had a secret crush on each other in high-school, but neither of them acted on it back then! However, when Zoey comes back to Buckhorn, Garrett and not his sister Amber, is the one to pick her up at the airport. Sporting the most awful look she could have imagined – a small child vomited on her just before landing – Zoey wished he wouldn’t recognize her at all – but no such luck. Their relationship progresses rather quickly, but in the kind […]

Review: Love, Lex (The Undergrad Years #1) – Avery Aster

Review: Love, Lex (The Undergrad Years #1) – Avery Aster

*I received a free ARC of Love, Lex from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Short, hot, pretty unbelievable but lots of fun, Love, Lex is a prequel to the Manhattanites series by Avery Aster. It tells the story of Lex, her crazy mom, her distant and absent father, her best friends and her awful boyfriend. For Lex, hiding from the paparazzi is second nature, and it has been since she was a little girl. However, they always seem to be able to find her at the worst possible moments. Love, Lex goes from fun, to despair, to prison and back to fun and hotness in a very fast-paced and fun read. You do need to be able to […]

Review: Rock Chick (Rock Chick #1) – Kristen Ashley

Review: Rock Chick (Rock Chick #1) – Kristen Ashley

Rock Chick is an outrageously funny tale! I haven’t had so much fun reading a book in ages 😀 Indy is a true rock chick, she is funny, sweet, competent and loyal, and I loved everything about her. She has been in love with Lee, her best friend Ally’s older brother, her whole life. When things finally go the way she’s always wanted, she is a little confused at first. Especially because she’s in the middle of something that doesn’t really have anything to do with her. Rock Chick is well written, with round characters I can’t wait to read more about, and both friendship, suspense and love are the main ingredients of the story. And even if the story […]

Review: My Sweetest Escape (My Favorite Mistake #2) – Chelsea M. Cameron

Review: My Sweetest Escape (My Favorite Mistake #2) – Chelsea M. Cameron

*I received a free ARC of My Sweetest Escape from Harlequin HQN via Netgalley in exhange of an honest review* My Sweetest Escape is the second book in the My Favorite Mistake series, and sadly, it did not live up to its predecessor My Favorite Mistake. There were too many things I just didn’t ‘get’ in My Sweetest Escape, the main being that Jos is almost nineteen years old, but she moves from her dorm to change universities because her mom, and her sister Renee tell her she has to. Jos used to be the good girl, the one who had straight As, was involved in many clubs and she had a boyfriend who was aiming for the White House. […]

Review: Bare Essentials – Jill Shalvis, Leslie Kelly

Review: Bare Essentials – Jill Shalvis, Leslie Kelly

*I received a free ARC of Bare Essentials from Harlequin via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Bare Essentials contains two pretty long novellas, the first one is Naughty but Nice by Jill Shalvis, and as with most of her books, I was drawn into the story from the very start, both by the quirky but hot characters, the sexual tension and the humor. Between Cassie and Tag, there is first nothing at all, apart maybe some kind of awareness, before they both decide the other couldn’t be more wrong for them if they tried. And that made the story so humorous. Cassie had it a little tough growing up in the small town, though, especially because her mother […]
