Story
If my childhood taught me anything, it was to survive. Now I have a deep-rooted mistrust of people and a wall of steel and ice surrounding my heart. So, when Reed Ryan steps into my life, I know I need to keep him far away. He’s everything I grew up hating. Fighting. Fleeing. Devastatingly handsome, he looks like a drunken regret and has heartbreak written over every inch of his body - literally. He’s the quintessential bad boy...and he’s a cop. But the man is my undoing.

I finished this in 2 days. It held my attention & I enjoyed the characters. Kind of a slow burn romance.

Ok for free title
Reviewed: 10-24-24
This had great reviews but never built any kind of suspense for me. It was fine for a free title but it was just kind of boring & slow. I was in the mood for a feel good mystery but this just didn’t do it for me.

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover. And find the house has only one bed. Located under a mirrored ceiling.

Boring
Reviewed: 08-21-24
I listened to half of this book and I truly didn’t care what happened so I deleted it. I usually love Lauren Blakely’s books but this one didn’t have enough going on in the plot to keep my interest. I suggest a side plot to engage the reader better. No chemistry, thin plot

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

For me, the story did not build any kind of momentum. It was just something to listen to until the last couple hours when there was a little bit of suspense. I’m surprised this has such great ratings.

Pretty good
Reviewed: 03-03-24
This came out in 2015 at the height of the BDSM phenomenon. A ton of books flooded the market around that time and this one incorporated the trend. I honestly would've liked the book better without that twist.
The plot was good and I enjoyed it up until the end which felt rushed and then everything was tied up perfectly. It kind of ruined it for me

A story about a clever octopus who brings several people together with his unusual intellect. So enjoyable. I will be looking for more by this author

Spending her thirtieth birthday alone is not what dating columnist Cleo Wilder wanted, but she plans a solo retreat―at the insistence of her boss―in the name of re-energizing herself and adding a new perspective to her column. The remote Irish island she’s booked is a far cry from London, but at least it’s a chance to hunker down in a luxury cabin and indulge in some self-care while she figures out the next steps in her love life and her career.

All the feels!! It is pretty rare to find a book with such complicated, textured thoughts & personalities. Some of the descriptive metaphors were so brilliant that I wish I could memorize them & have readily available to recite at will. Love this book!!!

Good but not great
Reviewed: 01-20-24
I listen to a lot of books & this is a 4. It was entertaining but not one of those that you can't wait to listen to.
I think it could have a little more heart. There are some past traumas mentioned but not discussed in depth. It was an opportunity for the characters to bond more & for us to feel a deeper connection w the characters.

And now they’re going to steal everything else…unless she can stop them. He's a gorgeous and tricky fae who is used to seeing his desires come to pass--one way or another. To him, lies are truth, power is sustenance, and every action ripples into violence. He is glamor, violence, and deadly temptation, and he's not being honest about why he came to the mortal world.

Great series
Reviewed: 01-18-24
This is a really well written adventure with great character development. The main character is a 17 yr old girl but most other characters are older.
I think the target audience is probably teens to young adults but I have adult children & still enjoyed it.
I'm super stingy w 5 stars. I highly recommend even though I'd have liked a few steamy scenes.
