Lynn’s Review: Lone Star Book Tours recently toured Mistletoe Miracles (see my author interview here). Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to read it for the tour. When I saw it was available on Netgalley, I thought I would check it out. I’m always up for a Hallmark-y romance. Especially when Texas Cowboys are involved. […]
Julie’s Review: It took me forever to finally get around to reading The Forever Song (haha, yea, pun intended), which is kind of strange seeing as how much I enjoyed The Eternity Cure and how broken up I was over that ending! Warning: this review contains spoilers for The Eternity Cure. I found The Forever […]
Julie’s Review: Reading Enders was a struggle for me. I started out reading the e-galley, but put it down around 20% or so. Then I just didn’t pick it back up for quite a few months. Eventually I decided I have other books with higher priority to read with my limited sit down and read […]

Julie’s Review: I don’t think I quite understood that Gated was going to be a book about a cult, so when the weird creepy leader guy kept feeding the people in the Community all these lies, I kept wondering when people would catch on. Then I re-read the blurb and realized nope they’re not […]
Julie’s Review: I didn’t really know what to expect when I started reading Escaping Reality, and now that I’ve finished it, I don’t really know what to think about it. On the one hand I really enjoyed Liam, possessive quirks and all. He really seemed to be falling for Amy and seemed to genuinely […]
Julie’s Review: I’m going to start this review off by sharing a tweet I posted when I finished the book. Just took a 2 hour bath and finished reading The Eternity Cure. My body feels good but my heart hurts. — Julie S. (@juliecookies) November 24, 2013 Wow this book… I had a […]
