Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Mister Romance (Masters of Love, #1) in Books
Jan 11, 2021
I loved the first 65-70% or so when Max was trying to make her want a relationship with him. I LOVED it! I was wanting to either knock some sense into a wounded Eden or push her out of the way and say, "Fall in love with me instead!"
Then we had that uncertain bit of Max needing the money and Eden wanting the promotion and me wanting to bang their heads together.
And then those last 5% or so. I was happy for them.
I'm definitely interested in continuing the series at some point in the future.

Huh...
Another great story but I didn't enjoy this one as much as some of her other books. I love ice skating, well, watching it on telly anyway, so I was excited for this. I loved the progression of their relationship and how she struggled to believe in herself and only really finally managed it after some stern words from Ivan... but there was just something missing for me. Something I can't quite put my finger on and made me drop it from a usual five star to a four.
I do look forward to more of Mariana's book though.

I dunno about this one
I liked some aspects of it and others not so much. Andies need to plan everything almost ruined her relationship and I do believe that Clarke forgave her a little too easily.
The friend bust up towards the end was guaranteed. Lying about something like that was such a bad idea but I do believe that they could all be really close again.
This is my third book by the author and I don't know if I have a favourite but I do look forward to reading more of the authors work.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Dexter - Season 8 in TV

Do you remember the Monsters?
So the final series of what has been a classic show. No wonder it won so many awards and accolades. This series has Dexter trying to balance his life along with his dark passenger. After the ending of the last series how will his relationship with Deb be effected. So it feels slightly different to the majority of the previous series formats. It's still very good although the final episode and ending was rather disappointing to an excellent show. Let's wait and see where the new series picks up.

Cliche but glorious
I didn't quite expect this story, I like how the clever the blurb is now I know the story. The characters and story are believable. Occasionally I found Lydia a bit frustrating and she sees everything with rose tinted sunglasses but her character progression is good. Very very cliche but I loved that. I think the relationship between her and Freddie could have been drawn out in fewer pages and I did find myself not wanting to pick it up through the middle.
Sammeh Lowry (15 KP) rated Eleanor & Park in Books
Jul 13, 2019
Okay, this book is just heartbreaking. Absolutely and positively heartbreaking.Eleanor and Parks relationship is just, the only world I can think of to describe it is, adorable. It just has cuteness about it. It didn't end at all how I expected to, but I like that, although I would have liked to have heard more about what happened to her Mom and her siblings in the end, maybe a couple of more chapters. I'm afraid it lost a star for her being a little mean to the cat, I can't help it I'm a little cat crazy.....

Silent suspense
Maddie (Kate Siegel) is a deaf writer, living a “quiet” life in the woods, secluded and alone, trying to heal after the breakdown of her last relationship.
Queue the bad guy played by John Gallagher Jr... and what follows is an 82 minute, interesting game of cat and mouse.
It’s a fresh take on the standard home invasion/slasher movie genre with the added element of her disability. Expect some great scenes, good acting from the small cast involved and no complicated storyline.
Try to overlook the inconsistencies, the plot holes and occasional predictability.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Strobe Edge, Vol. 3 in Books
Sep 6, 2019
These boys and girls fall in love quickly, that's one thing I will say, but... *sigh* I might be cheering her on to get with our main guy but that end bit was very sweet and self-sacrificing of the other guy (I'm not good with names until after the 5th volume or so) so I may have melted a little towards him. He deserves a nice girl and she is SUCH a nice girl. It's also obvious our main guy's girlfriend is insecure about their relationship.
Volume 4 will have to wait until later or tomorrow now.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated /BLUSH-DC Himitsu 01 in Books

This was really rather dark, which I wasn't expecting. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, actually, I just wanted something a little different to my usual reads of yaoi and shojo. And this certainly was.
It was erotica with sex scenes in every chapter but one chapter was really dark with one of the characters abused bother physically and sexually.
On the other hand there is an almost silver lining with a budding relationship blossoming between our abused character and a young guy who's become fixated with her.
I may have to read the next volume to see what happens next.

Where do I start?
The change in relationship between Xander and Kizzie over the last three books has had me captivated. This one especially. You can tell they both really want the other, but other things such as life and work are keeping them apart.
It's killing me! I really want them to get together!
Other than that, I was drawn into the story, though admittedly at the beginning I had no idea what was happening, but it was all explained as we went from viewpoint to viewpoint of the pivotal characters in the story.
Can't wait for book 4!
