Blog tour + Review: Touch the Sky by Christina Lee & Nyrae Dawn

Title: Touch the Sky

Author: Christina Lee & Nyrae Dawn

Rating: 4 stars

Reviewer: Melinda

I wanted to read this as soon as I heard about it – I love both Christina Lee and Nyrae Dawn so I couldn’t wait to see what they came up with together! Christina Lee writes both m/m and m/f romance that I’ve enjoyed a lot. Nyrae Dawn writes young adult and more adult romance under her pen name Riley Hart which I love.

Book Review: Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Amy Jo Cousins

Title: Between a Rock and a Hard Place – Bend or Break #6-#7

Author: Amy Jo Cousins

Rating: 5 Stars

Reviewer: Melinda

This is a duology that includes both #6 and #7 in the Bend or Break series, or you can buy them separately if you’re so inclined. I prefer the cover on this one and Cousins always has the best covers! Either individually or together these books get an easy 5 stars, but that’s really not surprising since I’m kind of a fangirl for this whole series.

You know when you’re in the mood for a light-hearted romance? Something funny, not too serious, but with a happily ever after where the main characters have some heat?

Rating: 4 Stars

Reviewer: Melinda

I’ve been seeing posts about the next Chicagoland Vampire book coming out soon for at least the last 2 months and I made a note of it but was trying to not get too excited since it wasn’t *soon* soon. But then all of a sudden it was HERE! Let me just say it did NOT disappoint and was worth the wait! Continue reading “Book Review: Midnight Marked by Chloe Neill”

Us is the follow up sequel to the hugely successful m/m hockey romance by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy that came out last year.

Book Review: Seven Years by Dannika Dark

Title: Seven Years

Author: Dannika Dark

Narrator: Nicole Poole

Rating: 4 Stars

Reviewer: Melinda

I don’t know how I stumbled across this paranormal book or who I have to thank for it but I wish I did because it was so good!  It’s unique and romantic which is a great combination in an urban fantasy series. Continue reading “Book Review: Seven Years by Dannika Dark”

Book Review: Originals by Adam Grant

 

Title: Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World

Author: Adam Grant

Narrator: Fred Sanders

Rating: 4 Stars

Reviewer: Melinda

Looking at this book and the description I wasn’t very sure that it would be for me. I do enjoy good non-fiction books but I don’t consider myself much of an original! But a friend with similar non-fiction tastes as me recommended it so I took the plunge. I’m so glad I did! Continue reading “Book Review: Originals by Adam Grant”
