This was a timely contemporary on the dangers of being a public Internet figure and the injustices of being a woman in "man's world." D1V is a gaming streamer, with tons of followers and a lot of sponsorships, but instead of using this fame and (small) fortune to live the high life, she's using the money to help pay for her Mom's grad school and buy groceries. But when the trolls come out, for no apparent reason other than she's a girl, D1V has to learn to navigate the real world while being recognized (and sometimes even hated) for her online persona.

While I did enjoy this book, I would have liked to learn more about the Vox Populi and why they were out to get D1V. It felt almost anti-climactic, the way everything was wrapped up so quickly and easily at the end of the book, and we still don't really know why they targeted her so strongly. Was it really just because she was a girl? Was one of them turned down for the same sponsorships? Or maybe the intent could be construed as the unmitigated hatred and trolling on the Internet and isn't to be taken quite so literally as I would have liked to see it play out.

However, this wasn't a case of some "simple" Internet trolling. What was described was essentially doxxing and harassment. While I feel for the characters, it just didn't bring out the emotional response there could have been if there had been less actual game play description and more of an in-depth look at the different groups.

Overall, I enjoyed the book but it seemed to oversimplify a lot, to the point that I didn't really have strong feelings either way. The content is good, it was just missing something on the delivery for this mom. Although, perhaps a teen reading this would feel differently.

This was the perfect completion to the trilogy and Mia's story. If you're reading a review for this book, you already know what you love about the series and let just say that Jay does not disappoint in this final installment. Full of action, adventure, romance, wit, and banter, I recommend you run, not walk, to pick up this book.

Baseball star, Gavin Scott, and his wife Thea run into some relationship troubles when he makes an interesting discovery... in the bedroom. When Gavin doesn't react well, Thea gives him the boot. But he's not ok with losing the love of his life and he will do anything to get her back. Including joining a secret men-only romance book club. The Bromance Book Club may be the only thing that can help him get his wife back.

I really enjoyed this unique take on a male-centered rom com! I always enjoy books with alternating POVs. I think it's a much better story when you know the feelings and motivations behind both sides in a relationship. And to have this one focused more on the male lead than the female was a fresh spin that I just haven't seen elsewhere. It was refreshing and made for a really fun romance!

Amazing. Just simply, the best follow up to A Curse So Dark and Lonely that one could hope for.

I loved following along with Grey's story. Going from the Commander of the Guard for more years than he can even count to becoming the sought after heir to the kingdom in hiding... Grey had to deal with some major emotions.

And Lia Mara, the eldest but not heir, recognizes early that she is unimportant and will not get what she wants most, and it's not the kingdom she's after.

I really enjoyed this story and can't wait to see where Brigid takes us next!

Dominic hasn't been the same since he returned from deployment. He doesn't think he's good enough - that he can't provide Rosie with what she wants and deserves. But Rosie just wants the man she's always loved back. After they've grown so far apart, can they find each other, and themselves, again?

This was a really great romance about a married couple who has to find their way back to each other. I love the spin on the romance, in that they're already married. There is plenty of wooing and it's definitely steamy. I loved being back in the world Tessa Bailey has created and seeing all the characters we loved from Fix Her Up again.

And while this is a fictional rom-com, I think it has the potential to make you think about your own relationship. Being married for 15 years, there were definitely things that made me think "hmm, maybe I should..." So while it was a really entertaining book, it is also one that may give you a little more perspective on your own relationship, in a fun and playful manner.

Hunted is definitely a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. It's very formulaic and follows the original Disney version pretty closely. The Disney movie is one of my faves, but this book just didn't do it for me.

The author didn't seem to put her own spin on the story, and I found the timing to be very problematic. I did listen to this on audio, after DNF the Kindle version, and I think the audio is the only reason I actually finished it. Well, that and the fact that I was doing it for a buddy read and didn't want to let down the group.
