OVERALL: 3.5 stars — Mostly pretty solid stories, with a few standouts! BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE by Kimberly Kincaid 3.25 stars — Solid, just didn’t blow me away. It just felt short, but that can happen with short stories. PLANES, TRAINS AND HEAD OVER HEELS by Erika Kelly 3.75 stars — Started off a bit […]
4 stars — Oh yeah, this was what I was looking for. I was feeling a bit book slumpish, so I was so excited when the audio came out for this one and I pounced on it. This series always gives me what I’m looking for. Obviously I love some stories more than others, some […]
3.5 stars — This one was solid, I think I was just slightly disappointed by the time jumps…it made the story feel shorter somehow. I loved how determined and adventurous Stella was, with everything but her heart. But seeing the glimpses into the past, I could totally see how she fell in love, and wasn’t […]
4 stars — Well, that was more adorable and fun than I was expecting. I think after being frustrated with how long Lillian’s story was, I was worried about Daisy. But she was delightful, and I enjoyed her romance with Matthew Swift! Daisy was an intriguing heroine, because while she seemed to love having her […]
3.5 stars — A pretty solid Christmas Harlequin Blaze. A little bit of mystery/suspense in it, but didn’t really play strongly into the plot. I was a little frustrated with Lydia for holding on to those teenage impressions for so long…apparently I’m not in a very understanding mood at the moment. Like, part of me […]
3.5 stars — Unfortunately for me, I found this one to be a bit too long and drawn out. The good parts were really good, and if it had been condensed I would have enjoyed it more for sure. I think the other problem is that I don’t seem to be as big a fan […]
4 stars — Oooo, this one is hard for me to rate, because I was genuinely frustrated by the lack of communication by both Sadie and Desmond. BUT there were all these other good things in the book, so I’m sticking with the 4 stars, and not 3.5…the good deserves it. I think part of […]
4 stars — My reading buddy likened this book to a Hallmark Christmas movie, and I have to agree that it’s a pretty great comparison! It’s light, but has enough depth to keep things interesting. And while you generally know the final outcome pretty early, the journey is still fun. I will admit that I […]
