Homecoming King by Penny Reid

Homecoming King by Penny Reid

4.5 stars — This review is going to be a bit all over the place…it happens sometimes, and sometimes it’s just too hard to wrangle my brain in order, so I leave it. Abby delighted me.  She was wonderfully quirky and odd. I wish this story had been dual POV, but I suppose I can […]

From Exes to Expecting by Laurel Greer

From Exes to Expecting by Laurel Greer

3 stars — Hmmm…this one was okay, but the characters were frustrating.  At the front of the book it said it was Ms. Greer’s debut, so I definitely think her writing and characters have improved over time.  I’m going to keep going on this series, b/c at this point I’m curious.  But I can’t wait […]

Coming in from the Cold by Sarina Bowen

Coming in from the Cold by Sarina Bowen

3.5 stars — Hmmm…after rereading my review for book 2, it looks like this series might feel the same for me: good, but not great.  I think this can happen a lot with author’s earlier works. This one had a pretty strong start, and I didn’t even mind the quick move to steamy scenes…sometimes that […]

My Perfect Mistake by Kelly Siskind

My Perfect Mistake by Kelly Siskind

4 stars — It was nice to finally come back and read the story that started this series.  I enjoyed both Shay and Kolton, but at the same time they were full of a lot more piss and vinegar than usually come with my favourite characters.  Their love story had a lot of push and […]

This Place: 150 Years Retold by Various Authors

This Place: 150 Years Retold by Various Authors

OVERALL: 4 stars — This was an interesting way to go through 150 years of history.  Sometimes it was a specific story from a time period, sometimes it was an example of something that might have happened at that time.  Sometimes it was a higher view of historical people/events, and sometimes we were given a […]

Holiday by Candlelight by Laurel Greer

Holiday by Candlelight by Laurel Greer

3.5 stars — While I really enjoyed how unique this book was, I found all the conflict and strife to be a bit hard on my heart.  It was real, but I’m just not as into that much push and pull I guess.  It’s like, we had 2 characters who were both struggling with the […]

The Holiday Switch by Tif Marcelo

The Holiday Switch by Tif Marcelo

3.5 stars —  This book did not start off strong.  Neither of our main characters were all that endearing, especially at the start.  Lila was uptight, overreactive, comes across a bit like a bitch, can be judgey.  You don’t get to see a lot of her good qualities off the bat.  But luckily I was […]

Just for the Holidays… by Adriana Herrera

Just for the Holidays… by Adriana Herrera

4 stars — Well this was a solid second chance celebrity romance!  I have quite a few books by Ms. Herrera in my collection, but surprisingly this is the first I’ve read (if you don’t count hearing her read from her book at an event).  I kind of love that Harlequin is really embracing the […]
