According to...Jan 🖤 Reading Her Best & Worst Romance Books

Reviews9

Better by FarHazel Hayes
Loved it

The writing is beautiful. I understand why somebody would love this. I think the discussion around language is really good, really strong.

Ex HexErin Sterling
Loved it

Jan and I both liked The X Hex. I can't really remember what happened in that book, but I do remember thinking, oh, for a paranormal, like cozy kind of romance, it wasn't as cheesy and poorly written as I maybe expected compared to other things that I've read.

Kiss CurseErin Sterling
Mixed

I finished The Kiss Curse and I'm going to give it three stars. I think that this was fine. There's some repetitive language. I feel like this could have been a little better edited. I don't super feel the connection between these two, but the steamy scene was steamy and it was very descriptive with its foreplay.

Swift and SaddledLyla Sage
Loved it

I'm giving this a four. It felt like a really solid four star romance. It didn't do anything that felt like an ick. It didn't do anything weird. It didn't do anything bad, but it also wasn't anything super special for me personally.

The Someday GardenAshley Poston
Not a fan

I am a third of the way in. And I just like nothing is happening. I don't feel anything. There's no interesting characters. There's no interesting relationships. There's no interesting description.

Two Can PlayAli Hazelwood
Not a fan

I don't like this. And I just don't really get it. There's nothing about the plot that intrigues me. Nothing about this relationship. Like, I don't feel anything towards them. I don't feel the tension. I don't feel the yearning.
