Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree

4.5 stars — Wow.  This was everything I didn’t know I was needing.  I found myself smiling in absolute delight about a gagillion times in this book, and that was just…perfection. The funny thing is, there wasn’t some epic adventure in this story.  It was just this delightful tale of characters trying to be something […]

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 […]

Shooting for the Stars by Sarina Bowen

Shooting for the Stars by Sarina Bowen

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 […]

Scandal in Spring by Lisa Kleypas

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 […]

Hers for the Holidays by Samantha Hunter

Hers for the Holidays by Samantha Hunter

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 […]
