Hello, my dear On a Book Bender fans! In the way of so many blogs and brands, it’s time to retire On a Book Bender. Here’s what you should know: I’m not disappearing I’ll still be blogging, just over at my personal website I’m still reading I’m still on Goodreads I’m still on Twitter You’ll […]
Solid mystery with a hunky detective. Thoughts on Person of Interest I have to admit I liked this one. It might have had a tiny bit to do with the hunky, conflicted detective who falls into Celeste’s orbit. Maybe. Or it might have been the way Celeste stumbles her way into trouble without really trying. I don’t […]
Fun historical with witches and vampyres! Thoughts on Never Been Bit This book was pretty much everything I needed to escape reality when I picked it up. A fairly low angst factor (Alec had some issues, but never anything that felt like it was going to drown a person, you know?) coupled with a heroine […]
Fun, light-hearted PNR with quirky werewolves. Thoughts on An American Werewolf in Hoboken This book is one of those books that on the more light-hearted end of the spectrum. Sure, the potential was there for Max to DIE if he didn’t fulfill the terms of the curse, but the story itself skated on that light-hearted edge. […]
Lexi can’t keep out of danger! Thoughts on No Strings Attached Lexi always finds a way to make me smile. Whether it’s with her endearing social awkwardness or the way she unwittingly stumbles into THE WORST situations, I get a kick out of this lady. She’s smart and determined and it doesn’t matter if she […]
Outstanding ending to a fabulous series! Thoughts on Forevermore I habitually have a hard time picking up the last book in a series. Because, you know, I don’t want to say goodbye. I don’t want the story to end. I don’t want to face the yawning despair that once I read this book, it’s over. […]
I love Alice Clayton so much Thoughts on The Unidentified Redhead This book, y’all. I recently read the whole Wallbanger series. I loved it. I loved every book, every character, every line in every book. So of course I jumped right into this series of hers as well. I read this book in about 6 […]
A decent standalone YA historical romance. My Thoughts on Love, Lies and Spies I picked up Love, Lies and Spies after reading a review of it somewhere. It’s basically “lite” historical romance, meaning it lacks the same depth to the emotional arcs you find in most historical romances (at least that I like to read). […]
Solid romance, fun characters, *thumbs up* Thoughts on Taken With You Ahh. First impressions. Sometimes they can be spot on and sometimes they’re completely off. And sometimes they’re exactly right, but they’re still worth fighting for and figuring out how to make things work despite the differences. Hailey and Matt don’t have the best first […]
Lerner’s historical was a total hit. My Thoughts on Sweet Disorder Rose Lerner is a new-to-me historical romance author, and Sweet Disorder definitely won’t be the last book of hers that I read. If all her books feature characters with strong growth arcs, I’m all over that. At first glance, Nick is a pretty typical lordling, […]
