Book Reviews...a bunch of them

I'm on call tonight! So here I am!

I've been reading lot lately. If I reviewed every book I read, you wouldn't have much else to look at on this blog. But I'll do a power dump quick of some of my more recent completions, just for giggles.

FOUR STARS

So Much More by Taryn Plendl
     - A very quick read, I finished tonight in roughly an hour, I enjoyed this little novella. Very simple, without all of the fancy intricacies many books bring these days, a story of friends becoming more, I recommend it.

How to Tell a Lie by Delphine Dryden
     - I really enjoyed this one actually. Two teachers at the same school coincidentally meet through a gaming website but because the girl is shy, she's okay with cybersex but not seeing him in real life. Eventually they move past that, blah blah blah. I thought it was really creative, unlike anything I've read in a while, seeing as the only books I can read are romance.

Forever Wishes by Leeanna Morgan
     - Essentially a Hallmark movie in a book with a little bit more sexy, librarian falls for lawyer who moves back to town because he has a big heart and helps his family. Meet through mutual friends, she wants babies and marriage, he's afraid of them. End up falling in love. Very cliche, but well written.

THREE STARS

Six Days by Randileigh Kennedy
     - I only gave this book 3 stars because I liked the general message - an awesomely loyal group of friends, where the new girl was integrated easily and ends up falling for one of the guys in the group as she finds herself through a dare. It was HARD to read. A lot of really simple, repetitive phrasing, including the exact same sentence used multiple times in relation to the exact same characters in the same situations.

Summer of Change by Elena Aitken
     - This was just okay. Okay story line, decent characters, cute enough scenes. A guy comes into town, builds a big hotel, girl at the local bar upset, ends up falling for each other. Just very simple.

Brothers by K.C. Falls
     - I liked the general idea behind this one too but again just sort of average. Girl falls for the guy who works for her parents. Some stupid character doesn't tell the truth to another so after they hook up once there's a big misunderstanding and they go their own way. There's a sequel to it that I didn't read yet and don't know if I'll bother.

TWO STARS

Gloria's Secret by Nelle L'Amour
     - I have a hard time giving a book only 1 star because people work hard on their stuff, just like I don't give many books 5 stars for being perfect. But this one was pretty rough. Lingerie store CEO meets a superstar advertising guy and they're immediately super hot for each other. Super unrealistic, annoying wording, he was kind of disgusting, I only finished it because I only quit reading books when they're intolerable. It wasn't intolerable...but it wasn't good.

Chosen for Power by Kathleen Brooks
     - Not sure why so many people gave this 4 stars on Goodreads. While the concept is cool, a powerful woman standing on her own, I feel like this plot was much too fast, the writing wasn't great, and the overall schemes were a little too far out there. Not quite as difficult a read as the other, but kind of whiplash-y.
