The Mistake by Elle Kennedy

December 28, 2021 Leave a Comment

There was a time when I would have said Elle Kennedy was one of my favorite romance authors. I’ve read and enjoyed so much from her but the Briar books do not work for me at all and I don’t see myself reading anymore from this series. The Mistake tells the unlikely romance between rowdyRead the Post

Playing The Palace by Paul Rudnick

November 29, 2021 Leave a Comment

I’ve been procrastinating on writing this review and by the time I got started on it, I’d just listened to Paul Rudnick on the Audiobook Lovin’ Podcast.

The Chase by Elle Kennedy (Briar U #1)

November 23, 2021 Leave a Comment

I wanted to like this book but at the end of the day I just found it just kind of annoying.    Our hero, Colin “Fitz” Fitzgerald is a hot college hockey player but his real passion is art and video game design. His whole personality felt very much like Jughead’s “I’m a Weirdo” speechRead the Post

Unguarded by Jay Hogan (Vino and Vertias #10)

November 21, 2021 Leave a Comment

This book is a lot like those fish out of water 90’s romantic comedies. We have 27-year-old Tai Samuels the (as the book describes him multiple times) sassy, lipgloss-wearing party boy who flees Boston with just the clothes on his back after a disastrous breakup. He makes a detour in small-town Vermont and, with aRead the Post
