Book Review: Stranded for the Night

Image
  I can’t stand her, but my dog f***ng loves her. I need a break from Manhattan. My carefree, serial-dating life has been seriously cramped by my family and past catching up with me. I’ve taken a “temporary” vacation until I realize my money’s been drained from my bank account and I’m stuck in an archaic small-town. One night, snowed in, I’m forced to lodge with the local café-owning, dog-loving, ridiculously handsome lumberjack, Eric Dawson. Did I mention how grumpy he is? Cassidy Carrington’s a brat. A bubbly, sing-song, cheerful, tiring brat. The type I like least. Her positive “everything’s going to be okay” personality is damn annoying. It’s armor that tells me she’s hiding something. I’ve yet to figure out what kind of trouble she’s in and the chaos she might’ve brought to town. She’s not my problem but I can tell she’s scared. And even worse… my dog f**king loves her. My Review I love forced proximity situations. This book is a fun one. A little sweet and spicy and snarky. A...

Book Review: Hate Me Harder

Image
  My first love is back, and he is crueler than ever. He is the boss I never wanted… The man I can’t outrun…. He sits on his pedestal, not knowing what actually happened that night. How can I hate him when he doesn’t know the truth? I swore I’d never break, but sometimes the devil is worth falling for. I didn't ask for revenge, but I'll take it wrapped in vows and sealed with hate. My Review Cambria experiences a horrific ordeal at the beginning of the story. One that changes her and helped to shape who she is today. She became inspired to build what she did from her trauma. After the way that Blake reacted when he learned about what happened to Cambria, I was turned off by him. Thus, I really never forgave him. I appreciate that Cambria and Blake were able to reconnection on a different level and become physical and emotionally attached. Me personally, as I said I did not really forgive him, so I could not really connect with him. In addition, that I felt like Cambria gave int...

Audiobook Review: Covenant of Control

Image
  I was lied to. I was ruined. I was corrupted. But now… I’m in control. Surviving them was only the beginning. Now we have to face something much bigger than us… and far more dangerous. And the men who once owned my fate are now the ones I might have to save. Freedom was never going to be free. And loving them? That might cost me everything. And not everyone will make it out alive. Covenant of Control is an enemies-to-lovers, secret society, academy romance and the fourth and final installment in the Regents of Covenant House series. My Review As soon as you start this book, you can feel all of the anguish and pain that Cade experienced. My heart was breaking for her. She was experiencing PTSD. As much as she loved the guys, Logan, Ryder, and Cole, the thought of being with them was too overwhelming for her.  I do appreciate that as much as the guys wanted to rush back into Cade's life and hold her and never left her go, they did recognize that she needed space and respected ...
