I, like most other people, loved Ali Hazelwood’s novel The Love Hypothesis. So I was just as excited as everyone else for this book! Unfortunately, there is not a ton to say about this book. While it is completely likeable, I mean it is really cute…. it also felt like a replica of The Love […]
[Portia’s Review]: Blind Side by Kandi Steiner
I really do enjoy a good fake dating trope, especially in New Adult books. Blind Side by Kandi Steiner might be one of the better NA fake dating books I have ever read, and boy was it SPICY (for contemporary, college age NA anyway). Oh and FYI, while this can be read as a stand […]
[Portia’s Review]: Twin Crowns (Twin Crowns #1) by Catherine Doyle and Katherine Webber
This was easily one of the best books I’ve read so far this year. I read a good bit of YA fantasy, and it often starts to feel repetitive and regurgitated. When I first read this synopsis, I was intrigued by the twin drama…. but what really grabbed me was the comparison to The Princess […]
[Portia’s Review]: Meant To Be (Twist of Fate #1) by Jennifer Probst
Meant to be is the first in a new series by Jennifer Probst that follows the lives of 3 best friends, with a book dedicated to each. This book called to me because I love a surprise/accidental pregnancy trope! For the most part I think this book was fine. It was a quick, easy read. […]
[Portia’s Review:] Fair Catch by Kandi Steiner
I’ve read a handful of Kandi Steiner novels, and I love them so much I have reread some, and one has become a top favorite romance comfort read for me (Revelry, SWOON). So when I had the chance to read this New Adult romance I was so excited. There was only one thing that worried […]
[Portia’s Review]: A Million Kisses In Your Lifetime by Monica Murphy
First and foremost, I should inform the audience: THIS IS NOT YA. NOT YOUNG ADULT ON ANY LEVEL. THIS IS 100% NEW ADULT. SEXUALLY EXPLICIT. I have zero idea why or how or who marketed or tagged this as young adult but I am 36 years old and have read hundreds of YA novels, as […]
[Portia’s Review: River of Shadows (Underworld Gods #1) by Karina Halle]
I have been so excited to read this book! I love mythology of all types, and Finnish is not one I have read much into, so I like that it wasn’t the usual Greek mythology, as is so often the case now days. I also love when Karina Halle writes darker books – she is […]
[Portia’s Review: Running Wild (Wild #3) by K.A. Tucker]
I have been so excited to get back into the world K.A. Tucker created with her Wild series. Tucker is one of my favorite authors of all time! If you didn’t know, There are 2 previous books and a novella (The Simple Wild, Wild at Heart, Forever Wild) that take place in this series/world that […]
