DNFed - I chose to DNF this book in the past. I am typing as a review so it doesn't harm my %. I haven't chose to pick the title back up.

Very late review and unfortunately this was not for me. The plot wasn't enough for me and I didn't like the FMC or the MMC that much. The sex scenes were written in a way that took away from their relationship and just a little bit cringe to be honest. A miss sorry!

Thank you netgalley and publishers for allowing me to read and review

Stalkerish vibes for sure, which I’ve never really been drawn to in books, but I enjoyed bits!

I didn't refresh myself on what this book was before reading it so with all the brooding of the male lead and his living in the wilderness I kept thinking he was a shifter of some sort and getting really confused when he never did anything but be angsty. He comes off as stalkerish and creepy pretending to be different people and it just give me the ick a little bit. Considered giving up at some points but kept thinking something big would happen.

This was an ok book for me. I had a difficult time buying into the characters. I liked the premise though.

This book was not it for me. I kept expecting there to be some sort of supernatural element in this but there wasn't. I just wasn't into the characters and things moved way too fast throughout the story. I just didn't like the whole stalker vibes of it.

Great book. Loved it. I lived the characters and the storyline. Loved the main characters. Overall it was a great book with an interesting plot. Couldn't put it down

I'm not sure this book was for me, though I was/am interested enough to consider other books in the series. I found the dynamic between the two main characters creepy for the majority of the text.

This was not my cup of tea. It was way too cringy and wrong.

Thank you for the advance copy #NetGalley

I started and stopped this book several times over and in the end just could not get into it as much as I was hoping. This is for sure a me thing. I’m positive this is the perfect book for someone else.

I should have paid more attention to the genre designations rather than the author name for this one.

I love Kerrigan Byrne as a historical romance author, so picking up her contemporary romance set in a small town bookstore was an absolute no-brainer. To my horror, what I read of this book was an absolute panoply of cringey humor, overwrought references, and none of the sharp wit that I come to expect from a Byrne book. When looking back at NetGalley, I noticed that Humor & Satire is listed above Romance in the description. Had I seen that, I would have never picked this up.

Thank you to NetGalley and Oliver Heber Books for an ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review!

Nevermore Bookstore is a dual POV romance featuring bookstore owner Cady and her most loyal customer the mysterious ‘Fox’.

I don’t really know where to begin with this, I just didn’t like it at all. FMC is ‘not like other girls’ and MMC should be imprisoned or executed. I was cringing almost constantly while reading because of the words and phrases the author chose. I don’t really have any feedback it just wasn’t for me.

I really loved this book, I found the characters compelling and found it was a good interpretation of a soldier with PTSD.

This book is the first in the series but each one features two new main characters. i have devoured each one as soon as they come out.

If you are looking for a new series with quirky heroines and the men who love them to fall in love with then I highly suggest giving Townsend Harbour a visit.

I will say I did think it was a paranormal romance from the cover but it's a contemporary romance. That was my own mistake but it seems from reading the reviews others had the same idea.

I received an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I don't know why I waited so long to read this book but it was really good and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

Thank you NetGalley and publishers for Earc of this book. It was difficult to follow with the made up vocabulary. Okay but probably would not recommend.

You think you’re walking into a cozy hometown bookstore read. And then BAM, you’re hit with some of the cringiest smut that you were not prepared for. Add in creepy voyeurism and all faith was destroyed. The books about books got me on this one.

I really really wanted to like this book. When I first read the premise I liked the idea...but the execution left more to be desired. I could see what the authors were trying to go for - kind of a romantic comedy meets thriller (with the break in) but there were so many elements that just didn't mesh together.

For one, some of the one liners and puns were too cheesy for the moment and others hit all wrong. There were a lot of things that left me feeling more uncomfortable than anything. And if it did elicit a chuckle it was more of a coping mechanism than anything else.

This might be someone's cup of tea, but it definitely wasn't mine.

I did not enjoy this book, and couldn’t finish it, because of it.

I hated the main character, the way she was described as “not like other girls”, it was really unflattering to read, and didn’t do anything good to the story.

I expected something entirely different from the cover, because the cover is cute, but what I got was awful and cute at all.
Fox was terrible and I hated how he objectified her.

Not for me.

DNF 11% in. Wasn’t for me. Particularly referring to a male needing his “man card” to be taken away.
