Who says you can’t judge a book by its cover? While it’s not the only factor in picking up a book, a pretty cover doesn’t hurt. Uncovered is a weekly post where I show some cover love. Enjoy! Hi, everyone! Man it’s been a few weeks since my …
I always like seeing what happens after happily ever after and Beautiful Beloved is a fun addition to the Beautiful Bastard series. New parents Max and Sara are struggling to balance life with a newborn. Their attempts to bring some of the spark back into their sex life has comical results but, in the end, they figure out a way to make it work and their relationship is stronger than ever.

Laureth’s father has gone missing. At least she thinks he has. He won’t return her calls and her mom dodges her questions about his whereabouts. When his notebook is found in New York, Laureth decides to take her little brother to New York to find him. I didn’t really know what to expect with this book, but the premise intrigued me. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book from the point of view of a blind protagonist before. While I thought Laureth was a well written character with a really unique point of view, I found other aspects of her personality to be very frustrating.

Hi, everyone! I don’t actually have a bookish manicure for you today. I probably won’t have time to do proper book nails for a week or two and decided that I’d show you my Valentine’s Day nails this week instead. I don’t usually do holiday …
I have so many mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, at the core of it, I think that there are some interesting ideas and the seeds of what could be a really fun world. On the other hand, the execution of this novel left a lot to be desired. There is little world building despite the fact that the book is set in a very different world than ours. Instead of slowly introducing the reader to the history and nuances of this new world in engaging and subtle way, the author crams hundreds of years of history into large sections of info dumping. We barely begin to get to know one world when Paige is suddenly taken away to a completely new world. The excessive use of nicknames and slang was also confusing. There is an extensive glossary at the back of the book to help with this but it makes it hard to read a book when you have to look up a word every few sentences.
Hi, guys! I’m really excited to be a part of the Nalini Singh Rock Hard cover reveal today. As a Nalini Singh fangirl I am more than happy to do my part in letting you all know about the next novel in Singh’s Rock Kiss series. Singh is best known for her Guild Hunter and Psy-Changeling series but delved into the world of rock romances last year with Rock Addiction. I have been waiting for Charlotte and T. Rex’s story ever since I first read about them last year, so you can bet that I will be getting Rock Hard as soon as it’s available.
