Last Chance Christmas by Joanne Rock

Last Chance Christmas by Joanne Rock

4 stars — I’m a fan of second chance romances…I’m not entirely sure why, but it’s just satisfying to see people grow from who they were when they were younger and fix the mistakes of their youth.  And that was definitely the case with this book.  Sure, they had their struggles and they almost fell […]

His Christmas Miracle by Dani Collins

His Christmas Miracle by Dani Collins

4.5 stars — This book was exactly what I was looking for in a Christmas novel!!  It had characters that I connected with and felt for, fun moments, sad moments, wintery moments…it was nice after having some bad luck. Nicki was pretty easy for me to relate to — I loved her spunky happy personality, […]

The Doctor’s Christmas Proposal by Eve Gaddy

The Doctor’s Christmas Proposal by Eve Gaddy

3 stars — I don’t know…this one started off not bad, but something was just missing from the writing to bring it from words on a page to magic.  I’m not a writer, so I don’t even know what’s missing…all I know is that I was sucked in, I wasn’t that captivated, it felt like […]

The Christmas Secret by Jeannie Watt

The Christmas Secret by Jeannie Watt

2.5 stars — This one was very mediocre for me.  I didn’t connect with the characters, they fell flat for me.  And honestly the story felt shallow and surface-like, if that makes any sense. I had a hard time empathizing with Lil’s motivations from when she was younger and broke it off…and I had a […]

The Boss Who Stole Christmas by Jana Aston

The Boss Who Stole Christmas by Jana Aston

3.5 stars — This is my first book by this author, and in general I enjoy the way she writes, so I’ll definitely be checking out another.  As for this story?  It was pretty cute.  I’m not huge on enemies to lovers, and especially not these weird ones where the heroine can’t even figure out […]

#HEA by Cambria Hebert

#HEA by Cambria Hebert

4.5 stars — You know what I love about the way Ms. Hebert writes even just Christmas novellas for these serieses?  They’re not just fluff…they’re never fluff.  You continue to see more growth in both the characters and in their relationships.  That’s what makes me love these series and these characters so much — they […]

#Fate by Cambria Hebert

#Fate by Cambria Hebert

4.5 stars — While I will never sneeze at more books about favourite characters, I was never one of the many fans that kept asking for more #Trewlove.  It’s not that I didn’t want more, it was that I was satisfied if that was all I was gonna get.  But when I heard there was […]

Hot Winter Nights by Jill Shalvis

Hot Winter Nights by Jill Shalvis

4.5 stars — I’ve been wanting to read this one since last Christmas, and I loved the blend of holiday, romance and suspense! This was my first time listening to Vivienne Leheny, and she was solid.  She had a great emotional range, and her voices were consistent.  I didn’t even mind that she narrated both […]

Yours at Midnight by Robin Bielman

Yours at Midnight by Robin Bielman

4 stars — This book was so easy to fall into and devour…though at times with the secrets, I would flip ahead because I became impatient for my guesses to be confirmed.  Truthfully, the whole intentionally keeping the reader in the dark through misdirection thing isn’t actually my favourite, and probably contributed to this not […]
