One of the things I love about the bookish world is that one book can evoke different feelings in all sorts of readers. One book can be a five-star read for me and a DNF for someone else. We all see something different because we're all different and I love exploring those differences by reading reviews. So here are three books that I enjoyed and didn't love, however, they got five-star reviews from a ton of other readers.
Have you read any of these?

Satan's Affair by H.D. Carlton
thriller / 197 pages
Every Halloween, Satan's Affair will come to you.
We travel the country, offering terrifying haunted houses, thrilling rides and the tastiest food. And with every passing town, I cleanse this world, one execution at a time.
I hide within the walls, casting my judgement for those that reek of evil, singing lullabies to their rotting souls.
Once you've been chosen, there's no escaping my henchmen—they cater to my every desire.
You can run and you can hide, but it only excites me.
Come.
Take a walk through my dollhouse, where your screams will blend and your cute little pleas will go unanswered.
But I can't promise it'll be over quickly...
Rating - ★★★
What?!
This was not what I was expecting, however, I both liked and hated everything I read.
This book was a mess of epic proportions and I couldn't look away.
I felt like I knew what was going on with Sybil and her crew, but I'm not entirely sure about anything in the end.
Everything was screwy and tangled and upside down.
If you love swimming in the darkness, you'll enjoy this one.

Checkmate by R.L. Mathewson
Contemporary romance / dual 1st pov / enemies to lovers / descriptive scenes / 350 pages
There’s nothing worse than living next door to your childhood nemesis, except maybe being forced to share your dream project with him, being blackmailed into going along with something that was just wrong on so many levels, and having your hot cocoa stolen by the person that drove you to drink it in the first place.
As long as she has plenty of hot cocoa, a pair of pliers on hand and is able to resist Connor O’Neil's bad boy charm then Rory James should be able to make it through this project with her sanity intact. If not...
She’d probably face a few more nights in jail, have a few more restraining orders slapped against her and lose her heart to the man that ruined her life.
Rating - ★★★★
I love this author's writing and how she brilliantly combines humour and romance and warmth and fun. However, I didn't enjoy Checkmate as much as I did the first two books of the series. The animosity between Rory and Connor got to be too much for me.
When I read this the first time, I gave it 5 stars and I think it's clear how different I am now because I struggled to give this three stars this time around.
While I liked how all the hate was hiding a deep and all-consuming love, I was irritated by way too many things to really appreciate that love. Hot chocolate (which is my favourite too) was mentioned A LOT! Both characters were petty and it took too long for them to be bigger than the childish antics they were used to. I kept forgetting that these characters were adults.
I wanted more sweetness to temper the bitterness that filled the first half (or more) of this story. I wanted their growing intimacy to get more shine. It was obvious these two shared a deep and special connection from childhood and I wanted the beautiful side of all of that to take center stage.

Shuttergirl by CD Reiss
I never forgot her. Not for one minute. Not from the last time I saw her, at seventeen, to today. I measured all women against her and all women came up short.
But being with her was unfeasible in high school, and it’s taboo now.
I see her sometimes, but I’ve never spoken to her. She runs, or I run. We’re in the same town, on the same block, in the same building, and the gulf between us is just too wide to cross.
Until tonight.
He was my high school crush, back when I lived in a world that didn’t want me. He was the perfect boy, and I was the outcast kid from the other side of town. And when he held my hand I thought I could fit in, just a little. I thought I could be his and he could be mine.
Then he left, and my life fell apart.
Now we are the king and queen of opposite sides of Hollywood. And we haven’t spoken a word to each other.
Until tonight.
Rating - ★★★
This is more of a flashback because I read this book back in September 2016. This is my review from that time:
This is the first book I've read from this author and it was ok. Going into it, I took a glance at the reviews, and now I'm surprised by all of the 5 star ratings I saw. Maybe we're not reading the same book. It was in no way a difficult read but I wasn't wowed.
Michael was an atypical celebrity in that he was a regular guy. He annoyed me because he was so caught up in others expectations of him. I'm sure I couldn't possibly understand where he was coming from because I'm not famous by any means, but he was a grown man. I was looking for him to man up more than he did.
Laine was a confused foster kid who grew up into a confused pseudo-adult. I couldn't understand her motives for most of the actions she took or the thoughts that occupied her mind. The only time I truly got where she was coming from was when she tried to save Michael by sacrificing herself.
I'm also confused by the laws in California. Child pornography only carries a two-year prison sentence? Ummmmmm no. Just no. I understand creative license but distribution would have to carry a stricter punishment than that. Otherwise, what is a real deterrent?
In all honesty, I truly do like this author's writing style.

It’s not every day you meet a man at the bar, stare at him for hours, and then right when you decide to make a move, he gets up to leave. Worse, when you follow him outside, you see him completely change his appearance by shucking a wig and a button down shirt, dropping them into the nearest trash can.
When Crimson looks around to see who noticed the complete one-eighty that’s just taken place, not a single person notices or cares. When she looks back, he’s gone.
Dejected, she leaves, thinking maybe she’d hallucinated and made the whole night up.
Only, just as she passes a dark alley, she’s taken. Literally and figuratively.
That’s the night that Winston Cyrus Osborn, III walks into her life.
***
Crimson is the worst type of woman.
She’s curious.
And curiosity kills the cat in his line of work.
With nothing else left to lose, he’s set to rid this world of the filth that infests it. And in doing that, he’s made a lot of enemies that would like nothing better than to ruin him and every single person he cares about.
At every turn, she’s there, insinuating herself into his life. And despite his attempts to keep her at arm’s length, she blows past every single barrier he erects.
He should really stay away.
He should also make sure that she stays out of his business.
Yet, he keeps letting her in. And she keeps reminding him why he wants her to stay.

My Two Cents
I thought I knew what I was stepping into. Three books deep and I figured I knew what to expect from this series. Book four has thrown me for a loop. It went deeper, it went harder, and all the ugly pain got out... at least for the Singh siblings I've met so far.
I feel like I should be embarassed by how much I enjoyed Crimson's stalker vibes. The way that she didn't allow Winston any personal space gave me life! It wasn't like he wasn't aware of her every move too and that shared obsession was beautiful to witness.
I watched him from across the room.
I didn't know who he was.
I didn't know why he was there.
I didn't know why I was there.
What I did know was that I wanted him.
I'd never wanted someone so much in my life.
Winston had a backstory that broke my heart, but it wholly explained his hesitance to have something real with Crimson. She had her own story of trauma and honestly, no one had it easy. However, whatever they saw within one another made them better people and I was just happy to read about their journey.
I laughed, I cringed, I cheered, and I almost cried. Clown Motel was a remarkable read.

Today's flashback is the Broken series by Azure Boone. This is a contemporary romance that tackles past abuse, a broken hero, some BDSM, tons of angst and emotional turmoil. I read it a long time ago and gave the series THREE STARS, but because it was so long ago, please take my ratings and reviews with a grain of salt.
Have you ever read these books? Are you interested in giving them a try?

1. Broken Desires
Sofia follows a dare and sets an appointment with the hot gynecologist she's crushing on. After an embarrassing series of events, she feigns a diabetes attack, leaves his office and prays she never sees him again. Two days later, she meets him in the supermarket and he asks her to dinner.
Daniel deals with his dark past by pleasuring women. Very selective with who he chooses for his erotic games, his next available choice, Sofia, doesn't measure up to the kind of woman he needs. But with his options near zero, he decides to take a chance, and soon discovers that pleasuring Sofia opens a door to a rewarding new desire.
Rating - ★★★1/2
I wasn't completely wowed by the book or the series thus far but I'm a true sucker for a broken, tortured man. And Daniel definitely fits the bill. Hot, sexy, remarkably intelligent (he's a doctor), dominant, possessive, funny, etc. And I'm thinking he has some sociopathic tendencies. I'm not quite sure so I'm willing to see how the series plays out.
Sofia was pretty likeable. She's painted in a real "saintly" light. She's a caregiver for her grandmother. She's an aspiring baker in the memory of her dad. She's a giver. Plain and simple. And she had some pretty funny inner monologue moments (“Why did he have to be so goddamn fine? His hard on had really affected her whoremones.”) However, she did annoy me with how desperate she seemed for Daniel. She was practically begging for him to like her!! And some of his behaviour was quite unacceptable to me but she rolled with it while I rolled my damn eyes. Anyhow, kudos to her for sticking it through because it paid off.
I'm curious to know how Seth and Dara both play out in the books to come.

2. Broken Lies
Dr. Daniel Fletcher gives up his career as a gynecologist and goes into the cookie business with his beautiful fiance Sofia. But his dark past refuses to stay buried when his sweet Sofia reunites him with his long lost brother Seth who can't keep his eyes off of his soon to be bride. Daniel is sure Seth is a fraud and a con and plans to prove it then kick him out of their lives. But Daniel isn't the only one with a dark past, and Seth's threatens to crush what is already broken.
Rating - ★★★1/2
Well I'm still enjoying the way things are coming along with this series. Nothing spectacular but enjoyable all the same. I think Daniel just needs to have a heart-to-heart with Sofia about his past. Shoot, it can't be worse than what Seth went through. Damn I feel bad for that kid but I kind of suspected the truth already. Just like I guessed correctly that Dara would be a bombshell once she landscaped lol. I'm a little confused though. I know Daniel and Sofia are engaged and the wedding is mentioned, but what exactly is the plan for the wedding??? Guess that's what I'll maybe learn in book 3.

3. Broken Souls
Daniel struggles to see his life as whole and not broken. But through his efforts to fix his past with his brother, he discovers souls can be broken too.
Rating - ★★★1/2
Okay. Sometimes I really hate cliffys, especially when the story isn't spectacular. But I just can't quit. Curiosity may have killed the cat but I'm human and I have to know the answers to all of life's mysteries!! The story is alright but the sex is fricken HOT!! Damn but that Daniel gives us good sex. Damn damn damn!
There is still so much going on with the Seth storyline. I have to know what happens next. And when will Daniel and Sofia finally get married considering the fact that they're having a baby?!
Well on to book 4.

4. Broken Free
Daniel has been broken in every way for as long as he can remember. Will his wife and baby be enough to piece him back together? Can he break free from his past, when his father's sins still strangle his heart?
Rating - ★★★1/2
Well we're at the end??? I'm not sure because the author does leave an option for more.
What I liked: Daniel, Daniel's vulnerability, Daniel's loyalty, Daniel's scepticism... Did I mention Daniel? I liked that we also got some perspective from Seth through his own POV. Along with Daniel, he definitely deserved some HEA. And I'm so glad they both got that.
What I didn't like so much: Sofia's blindness/naïveté/stupidity. This really irritated me. A lot. Especially when it came to defending her "best friend" Dara. I saw that conclusion a freakin mile away. Idiot. I also didn't appreciate her outlook on every day situations. She came off uneducated sometimes. IMO.
Overall, this was an enjoyable read once again. The sex scenes were still HOT!! Damn the things Daniel liked in bed were unexpected a bit but no less freakin sexy as hell. This author writes good sex lol!! I wish we had more closure with Daniel's dad. Maybe if there's a book 5 I'll get that.
