Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell

Seeing Red by Bailey Hannah

0.0

She’s actually one of the most insufferable main characters I’ve read as of late. Going to a club at 29 weeks pregnant? Saying that having a baby isn’t a good enough reason to try and date someone? Being angry at him for not sharing something when she was shutting him out first? And then suddenly she’s a successful business owner with custom leather? And worries about potentially having two kids while working for herself and having already bragged about her size-able bank account? Please, give me a break. And for her fertility issues, her getting pregnant the first time was a wonder and then already banking on a second pregnancy even though she still has the same fertility issues. All she really does is whine and kick gift horses in the mouth

Once again was I was almost brought to tears. And as always, I see myself in her FMC, though I am noticing she does have a bit of a template with them. Glad Miles and Daphne got the last laugh and they deserve their happily ever after, soft babies who just want love 

Restless Stars by Susanne Valenti, Caroline Peckham

1.0

No words. Truly did not need to be this long and with so many villains. Skim reading at its finest with this piece of work. This series has progressively gotten so unserious.  Not everything needs to be phallic related! 
Anyway, here for bluelance only, plus Seth and the shadow beast. And yet, in an 1k+ page book, there was not enough of them 

Alive and Wells by Bailey Hannah

Realistic about how she would be scared of touch and he was really gentle with her. His abandonment issues were real and understandable. Liked the no third act break. Definitely had more ranch background than other advertised cowboy romances so that’s a plus. They were just very soft with each other and it was nice  

Rebel by Amy Tintera

Def would be interested to see how they rebuild cuz it doesn’t seem like all humans are a fan of reboots. Glad she realized she could be emotional and strong. But it felt like too many plots at the same time

Would have loved this when I was in middle school 

No One Else by Harlow James

I mean she should have seen it from a mile away he didn’t want to marry again and he should have told her that from the start of a more serious relationship. I order them to go to couples counseling cuz clearly she doesn’t use any of her techniques in real life 

I Wish You Were Mine by Jessica Peterson

They were cute and had a spark. I liked how they were vulnerable together and the connection was instantly felt. They had good tropes that worked well together.
The third act break up didn’t need to happen, the drama could have been child/baby mama/new baby related. 

Pirate Girls by Penelope Douglas

I liked them and how it’s always been the two of them from the start. I like how she would always know it’s Hunter and not Kade and how all he wanted to do was love her.  I liked hunters relationship with his brother and the jealousy twist. But I did not like the whole “hostage/swapping places” thing. No town, school, or parent would authorize that. And I hate the stupid town legend thing, I don’t give an eff about that
