Golden (Bedtimes Stories 1) by Joyee Flynn
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
What did I just read??
Just steer clear from this one, unless you want to read it for the WTF value. The prose is awful, the plot is nonexistent, the editing has ran away from the story, and I don’t even blame it.

Locke, Stock and Barrel by Devon Rhodes
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed it like the previous two books in the series, but the other two couples I liked better… even though I really enjoyed the way all three books came together in this third one. 🙂
For such short reads, they were very, very nice!

A Cruel Harvest by Paul Reid
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I got this through Goodreads First Reads, and although I’m very grateful, I have to say, I did not manage to finish this book.
Like with some other reviewers I agree that this had a great premise, but as I read on and on I found the characters to be rather bland and boring, and the only thing I enjoyed was the carefulness with which settings were described.
It had more of an angst-factor than I expected it to have (I mean, I expected angst, but not like that), and I also expected more pirate-action, which there was very little off.
All in all it seemed like a good read, but I just couldn’t bring myself to finish it even when I was past halfway into it.
Love is in the Heir by Kathryn Caskie
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Puntastic title. You could do so much with the premise of twins, but instead it was… boring. The start was alright but then it made less and less sense on why people just wouldn’t speak the truth. And the ‘heroine’ was just so annoying.

Bright Water, Dark Sky by Augusta Li
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
I guess I’m the only one who couldn’t get into this story. The way the main character was portrayed from the get go was annoying, I found his personality annoying as well, and I just ended up disliking him enough that, by the time I was halfway through, I didn’t even care what happened.
Dirty Fighters by Kyle Adams
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
It’s a nice short story, nothing bad, but not really amazing either. Would I recommend it? *shrugs* If you’re into the whole M/M fight-for-dominance, a short story, and don’t expect much, then yes, I suppose.
