Review: He Knows When You’re Awake

He Knows When You’re Awake He Knows When You’re Awake by Alta Hensley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this one! I liked this one much more than I did the first book. The characters were mentioned in passing, but I still love getting to visit previous characters. I enjoyed this story line/ plot more than the first one. It really kept me engaged and wanting to read more. I do think it was predictable, but honestly, most books are lol. It did take place during Christmas time, but I wouldn't say it was huge on the Christmas aspect... Anyway, def would recommend for anyone wanting a fun, stalkery, quick read!

Review: Blood Lies

Blood Lies Blood Lies by R.L. Caulder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

R.L. Caulder is QUEEN. Every single book written is a 10/10, this one is no different. Blood Oath is, and has been, my favorite series written by her, so imagine my excitement finding out we get a book on their daughter?! Not only that, but this as a stand alone is *chefs kiss*. Briar is just as strong as her mama. I loved the mother daughter dynamic is this. It pulled at my mama heart so much. The best part, you ask? Her THREE badie boiis. I want to say that I hated them, but I really can't. R.L. did such a great job with writing them, that even everything that happened and what they did/didn't do, I found it so hard to hate them.

If I had one magical wish, I would wish to live in a R.L. Caulder book. One with a happy ending, of course.

Review: Rolling 75

Rolling 75 Rolling 75 by Brandy Hynes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Move over book boyfriends, Ryker is here to take the lead. Ryker Noire is the definition of down bad, and I am here for it. He was, wait for it, SO. SWEET. Like champagne and delusions. Brandy Hynes says at the very beginning that she recommends going in blind, and omg I am so glad I did. The story line, plot, characters, all of it was *chefs kiss*. I think my favorite part(s) were when Mercy would butcher well known sayings lol. I laughed, I cried, and I loved every min of it.

Review: Silver Elite

Silver Elite Silver Elite by Dani Francis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved everything about this. I will admit that it was predictable, but still great. The banter, the wanting, the setting, all *chefs kiss*. I was hooked the entire read, and I could not put it down. I will admit that I think the MFC having FOUR names is a bit much, but I guess it works. The ending leaves on a bit of a cliff hanger / major reveal. I think everything tied together nicely, and the plot was well written. I can't wait for book two! Even though book one is all about Cross and Dove, I still want more lol.

Review: The Good Girl Effect

The Good Girl Effect The Good Girl Effect by Sara Cate
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I did enjoy this book. It did have great banter and spice, but the plot really bugged me. I tend to like books more when I can relate in someway to the characters, and this one just wasn't it. I thought the whole dynamic of Camille getting the job and why she wanted the job was weird. I still viewed Jack as grieving, and it was just something that even he was admitting to struggling with, and it just felt off to me.

Review: Love Redesigned

Love Redesigned Love Redesigned by Lauren Asher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh this was so so sweet. I cried so many times, I lost count. Julian and Dahlia were everything you would want. The pettiness of Julian had me laughing so hard MULTIPLE times. He is PETTY PETTY lol. The banter was great too. I loved the different pranks they would play, not only on eachother, but with both families and friends. The relationship of the two families was sweet to watch, and I loved how well everyone got along. The meddling moms were a great touch too.

editing to add: I also really loved the mention of characters from other books! It was a cute little easter egg and I enjoyed hearing about them again.

Second chance

Review: Out of the Woods

Out of the Woods Out of the Woods by Kate Wiley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a good read. It did keep me engaged and I was hooked from the start. However, it was repetitive and a bit predictable, but still a good read.
