4 stars — While I definitely enjoyed this one, there were moments where I felt like the conflict drew out too long and I was impatience for growth or change…and probably on a personal note, I had a harder time remembering the issues of the times and Beatrice’s very valid avoidance of remarrying. Maybe because […]
4 stars — I liked this one more than I was expecting to, especially after having read a few of the lower reviews and assuming I would feel similarly…but maybe because I lowered my expectations, it reverse psychology’d me? I don’t know, but I’ll take it. Honestly, breaking this book down, I really shouldn’t have […]
4.5 stars — This one felt both very different from historical romances I’ve read so far, but also not. There was just something refreshing and frank about Jess, and I loved her. Ms. Kingsley did a great job with the narration. Occasionally I had a moment of not knowing who was speaking, but generally it […]
4.5 stars — I kind of avoided this book b/c I was afraid it wouldn’t live up to my expectations, but the funny thing is that my expectations were kind of wrong in some ways, and it took me to places I wasn’t expecting but that seriously delighted me. So the lesson is: stop procrastinating […]
3 stars — I think I wanted to like this one more than I did…since I kept doing anything other than listening to this audiobook to finish it. It wasn’t a bad story, there were just a few things that didn’t work for me and prevented me from loving it. One of the major things […]
3.5 stars — There were parts of this book that were fantastic, but alas I think this author and I just aren’t quite a match. For all that this one is billed as a romantic comedy, I didn’t really laugh that much…mismatch. And as I’m sure you’re tired of reading and wondering why I still […]
4.5 stars — This one started off solid, and I definitely enjoyed the wildness that was their night in Vegas. Things got a little sticky after that for a bit, but I was still enjoying myself. But at a certain point about halfway through the book it just really shot up, and I loved the […]
4.5 stars — OK, this one was absolutely fucking adorable, and I loved it from start to finish. Jameson was so cute and awkward and nerdy, he was just delightful. He was also brilliant, thoughtful, and caring. Honestly? Will was the surprise hero for me. He had that facade of cockiness, just like his friend […]
4 stars — I just love how Ms. White packs so much into her books. I honestly feel like my favourite part is reading the Author’s Note at the end and finding out which elements were based in fact and where she took liberties to make it work in this world. I have read the […]
4.5 stars — This one started out cute, but I also wasn’t necessarily connecting with their bantering as well as I’d hoped…it was a 3.5 star type book. But about half way through this book totally skyrocketed into 5 star territory for me, and I loved the ending! So I settled on something in between. […]
