A Kiss for Midwinter by Courtney Milan

A Kiss for Midwinter by Courtney Milan

3.5 stars — I definitely enjoyed this one, but man Lydia was hard for me to connect with.  I think I had a hard time making the connection that she saw Jonas’s attentions and sweet words as reminders of *false* sweet words she got from another.  But since I kept forgetting that, her reactions would […]

Bayou Sweetheart by Lexi Blake

Bayou Sweetheart by Lexi Blake

4.5 stars — Man, I love this series.  I love that I can always count on Ms. Blake to give me all the eccentric townspeople, all the truly good and caring friends, and new people to learn to love.  As with any series, I always end up having my favourites, but no matter what I’m […]

Callie’s Catastrophe by Ruby Dixon

Callie’s Catastrophe by Ruby Dixon

3.5 stars — Callie was pretty hard to connect with for quite a bit of this book.  Honestly, I would have rounded down, except that once I finally connected with her nearer to the end, I really appreciated how her fiery personality came out in a spirited sense of humour.  And I think I laughed […]

Love Lessons by Sarina Bowen

Love Lessons by Sarina Bowen

3.5 stars — I was worried about starting this book, b/c I was getting over COVID and I didn’t want my brain fog to ruin my reading experience, you know?  But I should have trusted Ms. Bowen more, she seems to be able to cut through so much of that and always suck me in.  Vera […]

WET by Cambria Hebert

WET by Cambria Hebert

3.5 stars — If you’ve missed the Hashtag series, and want something extremely similar, then you are going to love this story.  While for me it didn’t have the same connections and chemistry as #Nerd, it was still entertaining. NOTE: if you have triggers, please please search out trigger warnings for this book (there is […]

Christmas Kitsch by Amy Lane

Christmas Kitsch by Amy Lane

4.5 stars — I love it when a book just hits. There were lots of little things that reminded me strongly of The Locker Room, but not so much that it felt like a regurgitated story — this one was all its own.  It was just things like *how* Rusty struggled with his parents neglect…and […]
