Book Review: Guarding Mr. Fine

So Guarding Mr. Fine was my first HelenKay Dimon book and I can say that it didn’t disappoint but didn’t wow me either. Although it has all the things that I want (the bodyguard setup, the one night stand, some mystery twist… you get the idea) in an Adult Contemporary Romance book, it still fell short especially in the romance department. So what happened was, we’ve got two hot guys (Rick and Seth) who met in a bar one night and ended up having a one night stand without even knowing each other’s names. The next time they met, they…

Book Review: Blackbird Fly

The grounding still needs work, the world building insufficient, some of the characters are underdeveloped and the plot simplistic. But Becky Wallace’s storytelling hit all the right spots for me so I wasn’t able to stop myself from being generous. I didn’t regret giving away my four stars. Storyspinner immediately hooked me from beginning to end. I couldn’t remember a single moment that I got bored or getting annoyed about this or that. 2015 made for a lot of disappointing reads that reading Storyspinner…

Book Review: The Eternity Key

The Eternity Key was a disappointment compared to its predecessor, Into The Dark, which actually managed to be one of my best reads in 2013. I was surprised that The Eternity Key bored me to no end. Objectively, it’s not a bad book. But then, how do you define a book that spent most of its time searching nonsensically for the Key of Hades and the compass? Add the fact that I had to wade through a lot of unnecessary internal monologue of our main characters that it was exhausting. And then, out of the blue, Tobin, one of the…
