She said: I knew I was reading something special from the very first line: Men are pigs. Matt read it, looked at me, and rolled his eyes (because MEN ARE ALSO DEFENSIVE). But then he continued reading and I continued reading and we found ourselves laughing so often that we forgot about the insult/truth. I’m... Continue Reading →
This time around, we have a special guest reviewer: Erica’s mother, Alice. She (the daughter) said: It seems fitting to have my mom review Colleen Hoover’s Regretting You with me since this book revolves around a mother and daughter relationship. Morgan, the mother, is in her mid-30s while Clara, the daughter, is 16 going on 17.... Continue Reading →
She said: There's nothing better than reading a book with a strong and fierce female lead. Give me a woman who fights for her beliefs and stands her ground and I'm hollering her name from rooftops. Eden is as fierce and forthcoming as they come. Forced into an arranged marriage, Eden and her fiancé, Luka,... Continue Reading →
She said: You know that emoji with the big eyes and closed mouth? The one that epitomizes HOLY SHIT? That was my expression after finishing Alessandra Torre’s Filthy Vows. As soon as I put the book down, I texted Matt nine of those faces because one just wasn’t enough. I am stuck in a state of... Continue Reading →
She said: This is the hardest review I’ll ever write because this book was personal to me. I need to say that upfront because what you’re about to read is a little different from previous reviews we’ve written. Let’s start with some background… Hook Shot is the fourth and final book (third full-length novel) of the... Continue Reading →
She said: I’m a big audiobook fan. I spend at least two hours in the car each day, so audiobooks help keep me sane while I’m in traffic or dealing with asinine driving: people who text, people who clean their windshields, people who drive under the speed limit, people who do not signal (I’m looking...

She said: I feel like I've read some over-the-top angsty reads lately. You know the ones—they cause stress and emotional freak-outs, even hair loss! Some of my favorite books are these kinds of reads; however, I've found that sometimes I crave something different. Sometimes I want something that's kinder to my heart...and my digestive system....

She said: Holy highlighter pink. If you thought Jackal's cover was intriguing, wait until you read the book. Jackal has heart and layers—more so than Folsom. Hold up. Don't take this the wrong way. We're not knocking the first book in the series. If you've read our Folsom review, then you know we're fans. But Jackal was...more. Just more. Jackal and his counterpart, Phoenix,...

She said: I feel like books are becoming more diversified. They're not just one or two things anymore. Where the Shadow Lies was a mysterious thriller with a side of romance. Folsom was a political romance with a side of dystopia. And this book—Providence—is a romantic mystery with a side of science fiction. It's impressive really. People are so... Continue Reading →
She said: Folsom. Wow! From the get-go, I was taken by surprise. Sure, I had read the synopsis. I knew this was a series, a romance, a dystopian tale. But I did not expect all of the intricacies, delicate touches, delicious sexy sexiness, and holy-hell-did-that-just-happen moments. Tarryn Fisher and Willow Aster create a world so...
