Review: Burying Water – K.A. Tucker

Review: Burying Water – K.A. Tucker

Burying Water is filled with angst, with no memory of who she is, Alex ends up living next door to a guy she feels very connected to but she has no idea why. My Burying Water review: Burying water is well written, and because it’s in dual points of views, the readers actually know much more about Alex than she knows herself. Also, it’s written in present tense, so the story really unfolds at the same time the reader is reading it. Jesse is doing his best to keep her distance from her, but he also wants to make sure she’s getting better, and he really wants to be there if and when she recovers her memory. The sense of […]

Review: Ugly Love – Colleen Hoover

Review: Ugly Love – Colleen Hoover

Ugly Love is so full of feels! There is love, hope, devastation, loss, hopelessness, distraction… You name it – I felt it! My Ugly Love review: It has taken me several weeks to finally review Ugly Love. That is because even now, I feel like crying when I think about this heart-wrenching story! I cried the biggest ugly tears I have ever cried while reading a book. The story is so well done, especially because it is written in dual points of views, both from Tate’s and Miles’ point of view. However, the chapters written in Miles point of view are a lot shorter, and I didn’t get to know him any better than Tate did. And I thought the […]

Review: As Long as You Love Me – Ann Aguirre

Review: As Long as You Love Me – Ann Aguirre

  Beautiful slow-moving romance, so enticing I was aching while reading about Rob and Lauren. My As Long as You Love Me review: As Long as You Love Me managed to snag my heartstring even quicker than I Want it That Way did. Maybe because I had already met Rob and Lauren, or maybe because their interactions were so achingly sweet and tender. The story also includes another trope I absolutely adore, and that is the friends-to-lovers trope. Rob had always seen Lauren as his little sister Nadia’s best friend, and Lauren had been in love with him since she was thirteen. Now that Lauren was finally back home in Sharon, Rob was dating another girl, and there was no […]

Review: Rock Courtship – Nalini Singh

Review: Rock Courtship – Nalini Singh

Sizzling hot, but still tender and character-driven, Rock Courtship is a beautiful story! My Rock Courtship review: YUM! and More! are the first two things that come to mind after finishing reading. I really enjoyed the story in Rock Courtship, even if Rock Addiction didn’t really do it for me, this one certainly did. Both Thea and David are really well fleshed out, and their romance was very slow-moving, at first through e-mails, memos and phone calls. All of those were hot and sexy, and at the same time, their back-and-forth let me get to know them really well. It was easy to understand both of them, and I have to say I’m happy David was so stubborn. As I […]

Review: In Her Wake – K.A. Tucker

Review: In Her Wake – K.A. Tucker

In Her Wake is an emotional rollercoaster like only Tucker can write them! Meeting Cole before Ten Tiny Breaths was truly amazing, I loved seeing exactly how the accident happened, and how consumed with guilt and sorrow he was during several years. My In Her Wake review: The fact that Cole was the only one who survived the accident apart from Kacey really hit home on a whole other level when seeing the story unfold from his point of view. Of course, because this novella is kind of like a companion to Ten Tiny Breaths, there are some spoilers from that in this review. The writing is haunting, and extremely well done. In first person present tense, it’s as if […]

Blogtour and Review: The Replacement – Rachael Wade

Blogtour and Review: The Replacement – Rachael Wade

Welcome to my stop on The Replacement / The Prisoner blogtour. I have the tour-wide giveaway (US only – sorry!) to share with you, as well as my review and my favorite quotes. This tour is hosted by Xpresso Booktours, and if you click on the banner above, you’ll be taken to the full tour schedule if you want to check out other stops. My The Replacement review: Quite different from the stories I normally read, The Replacement captivated me – in the beginning it was because I really couldn’t stand Elise. She is the epitome of ‘the other woman’ she seeks out men who are already in a relationship, and uses all she has at her disposal to get […]

Review: Rock Addiction (Rock Kiss #1) – Nalini Singh

Review: Rock Addiction (Rock Kiss #1) – Nalini Singh

*I received a free ARC of Rock Addiction from TKA Distribution via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* New adult scorching hot erotica, that’s Rock Addiction in a nut-shell. My Rock Addiction review: I had trouble getting int Rock Addiction at the beginning of the story, and I have to admit I rolled my eyes a little bit. Molly is a 24-year-old virgin. And those who know my blog know that this is a pet-peeve of mine, right? Why is she a virgin? And why, oh why would she decide that her first time would be with a mega rock-star, while at the same time almost having a panic attack at the thought of paparazzi? And how could he make […]

Review: Fix You: Bash and Olivia #1 – Christine Bell

Review: Fix You: Bash and Olivia #1 – Christine Bell

Fix You is a very short read, but there is a real story in there. And some parts of that story are really poignant and quite dark! Olivia is at a bar with some friends and her fiancé, when she stumbles and a guy who works at the bar helps center her. Said fiancé shows up and is mad at Olivia for leading the guy on. Needless to say, already at that point, I knew there was going to be no love lost between Andy and me. And he soon showed that he was an even worse character than that! Abusive, mean and not caring is Andy in a nutshell. If we add in entitled and arrogant that should pretty much […]

Review: I Want it That Way – Ann Aguirre

Review: I Want it That Way – Ann Aguirre

*I received a free ARC of I Want It That Way from Harlequin via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* I Want It That Way is the most beautifully heartbreaking story I have read so far in 2014. I laughed, cried big, fat tears, cheered, and rooted for Nadia, all the way! My I Want it That Way review: I Want it That Way is so different from all the other New Adult stories I have read lately! Yes, both Nadia and Ty struggled with their lives, doubts and how to deal with the real stuff. However, at the same time, they both came from loving families, where their parents were still married and supported them emotionally and  financially […]

Giveaway and Blogtour Review: No Apologies – Sybil Bartel

Giveaway and Blogtour Review: No Apologies – Sybil Bartel

*I received a free ARC of No Apologies from Xpresso Booktours in exchange of an honest review* Welcome to my stop on the No Apologies Blogtour! I have my review to share with you, as well as an international giveaway for a $25 Amazon GC. This story is raw, tense, tender and a pretty rough read! It is very seldom that I give five stars to a book I’m reviewing for a blogtour, however, No Apologies really, really deserve my five stars, it is well written and I was completely and utterly mesmerized both by the story and the two main characters. My No Apologies review: Graham is one of those hard-ass heroes, you know the one, you either love […]
