Kobo TBR reads

Little Red by Caroline Lee, 4 stars

That was an enjoyable read, loved all the parallels with the fairy tales, but still kept things fresh and interesting. Great chemistry between the characters, and all the foibles to be expected from them both <3

Persuade Me by Christina James, 3.5 stars

Stranded together, these two act on their attraction, problem is, they don’t communicate about what is really important, and that comes back to cause problems for them. A solid enough story, didn’t really feel a lot of love between the two before they were professing it. Good chemistry and steamy moments, a satisfying read overall

Hold You Close by Melanie Harlow and Corrine Michaels, 4 stars

I really enjoyed the premise of the story, but a couple of plot points kept me from loving it, though I was totally invested in the HEA. I couldn’t help but feel like London would’ve figured things out from all those years ago, or Sabrina would have clued her in. It just didn’t make sense she never had a clue all those years. Also, if Ian had always cared for her, why did he flaunt his lifestyle in front of all the time. That seemed unusually cruel. That being said, I loved their banter, their clashes, and their sweet moments, because the past was the past, and they were working on their current, and the chemistry between them was off the charts <3

Side Hustle by Emily Goodwin, 3 stars

I read the first few chapters, and the last few, and skimmed in-between, because you knew what the problems were going to be, and it took too long to get to them! It wasn’t that the story dragged, it was that the characters got too caught up in themselves. I liked the story overall, but for me, a bunch could’ve been sped up to keep my interest
