Funny, I had the same kind of experience as when I read ICoS. I began doubtful, not quite convinced by the first characters' interactions and finding the writing clumsy sometimes. It took me some time to get into it, but it only got better and better, and when I did get into it... Wow, I had a bl...

As Recovering From Life is a funny, it is also a story about friendship, personal growth, recovery, and independence. Each chapter leaves the reader in suspense, rooting for Stephanie to surprise us yet again. Steph's is a story most women can relate to in one way or another. She had her life figure...

This book is so beautifully written, I felt like I was actually there with the main characters watching the story play out. Salvage unfolds at such a natural pace, nothing felt rushed or out of place. More than just a romance it is a story about family, acceptance and friendship. When Gabe returns h...

When I started reading this book, I honestly expected something different. Something more like another protag with ninja-ass fighting skills, too cool to be true. In short, some other vesion of Sin.And I gotta tell you, I am glad that I was wrong, because I thoroughly enjoyed the Gordon Frost Santin...

Great, now I'm back at that "THERE'S NO MORE ICOS LEFT!!" point. Not a good place to be. Of course, I love everything about this, how can't you, when you're a ridiculous and not to mention desperate ICOS-fangirl? I think I can say with quite a lot of confidence that no matter what I pick up by eithe...

Slam-dunk.Waiting for this revised edition was torture—but so, so worth it.After Midnight is a gritty post-apoc dystopian with compelling characters, terrific action, and mind-warping UST like a car crash caught in slow-mo by a Russian dash-cam.The idea of being slammed up against a wall was never s...

There were a lot of things I enjoyed about this book. A deep, gritty worldbuilding. UST for days... Rich plottyness.There were some problematic issues: the portrayal of the women in this story felt relegated to objectification and plot device. In the case of Carla, both. I would have loved to see mo...

Sex, Drugs, Assassins and a War Torn Underworld…I could roll around in it forever; but it gets even better when you throw in a drug war for violence; a sexy blonde porn star for spite; and an erratic anti-hero with a crap-ton of issues for every other feel there is. ALL this and I’m ecstatic! Santi...
