The Shippers by Katherine Center
The Shippers hooked me right away. It starts with the romantic comedy beats full of light, charm, and promise. Cooper was such a dream. That man was a golden retriever in human form. Truly someone who every person wants in their corner at all times. But I had a bit of a hard time to like Jojo. Seeing her make one bad decision after another and not treat Cooper as he deserved to be treated by her left me so frustrated with her character. I found her very immature at the beginning of the book but I ended up liking her and rooting for them. I also found the storyline…

Come What May by Corinne Michaels
͟͟͞͞➳❥ SERIES: Ember Falls #4╰⪼ reads as standalone I couldn’t get into the story. The one-night stand turned into feelings right there. That’s it. No tension, no buildup. We don’t have to see their feelings developing. They falling in love. I wasn’t getting a lot of chemistry from them either. That’s the whole point about reading romance novels, we want to feel the love. Get butterflies in the stomach. This story gave me nothing. Ember Falls Series: ∗ Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a complete standalone. But for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended reading order. ∗ ❝ I think the right…

Fever Dream by Elsie Silver
͟͟͞͞➳❥ SERIES: Emerald Lake #1╰⪼ reads as standalone It’s not you but me. I think I’m over Elsie’s writing. I just can’t connect with it anymore. It’s lacking tension and connection between the characters and even some emotion, to be honest. I don’t feel the heart in her writing anymore. Her stories feels very superficial and formulaic to me. Overall, it felt flat and boring. I did not connect with the characters or the story. I just didn’t feel it. Emerald Lake Series: ∗ Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a complete standalone. But for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended reading order.…

The Heart You Kept by T.L. Swan
͟͟͞͞➳❥ SERIES: Kings of the Riviera #1╰⪼ reads as standalone I think it’s time to say good bye to this author. I love The Miles High Club series immensely! I’ve been trying to connect with her writing again ever since but I don’t think she is an author for me. All I see in her books are sex and silly and boring plots. Well, if we cans say there is one. I don’t laugh anymore. I don’t get emotionally connected with the characters. I don’t even feel all the spicy scenes that it seems it’s all her books are about now. They are all pretty formulaic, to be honest, and…

In Peace Lies Havoc by Amo Jones
͟͟͞͞➳❥ SERIES: Midnight Mayhem #1╰⪼ reads as standalone This was terrible. Terribly choppy, confusing, and it honestly didn’t even make sense half the time. Also, there is no romance. Isn’t this book a romance novel? I couldn’t see any love. For me that is the whole point of a romance novel – dark or otherwise! Midnight Mayhem Series: ∗ Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a complete standalone. But for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended reading order. ∗ My name is Dove Hendry. Mine is Kingston Axton. I was captured by darkness. She has always been ours… They groomed me for Midnight…

Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
This book is offensive on so many levels. It portrays motherhood, religion, men and families so horribly. The plot wanders from one insulting scenario to another. The main character and her husband were both awful human beings. How can you enjoy a book with so many unlikable things to read?! Sorry, but no. This book is clearly for a different audience than me. Not wasting my time. ❝ But that’s something I’ve learned in the years since I left the ranch: you cannot change people who refuse to be changed. You can only love them. So here it is, all the love I have to give, pressed into the pages…

Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy
The audiobook was terribly done. There is no emotion in the narrator’s voice. She was speaking in 1.5 speed. No punctuation. No emotions. No breathing. It was like she was in a hurry and needed to be done with it. I couldn’t follow. Horrible. The story also gave me the ick. ❝ Maybe that’s all passion is sadness plus the desire to connect.❞ From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of I’m Glad My Mom Died comes a sad, funny, thrilling novel about sex, consumerism, class, desire, loneliness, the internet, rage, intimacy, power, and the (oftentimes misguided) lengths we’ll go to in order to get what we want. Waldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt.…

How to Write a Love Story by Catherine Walsh
The fact that I finished this is a miracle because this book was boring! I couldn’t get into either character and I thought their chemistry was so forced. The newest book from bestselling author and Kindle Unlimited sensation Catherine Walsh, in which an ambitious editor travels to Ireland to help the daughter of a fantasy author legend complete her father’s final book, only to fall in love with her in the process.
