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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
OVERALL: 4 stars — Holy cow!! Dudes, I *don’t read* historical romance. Which is why it was a mystery why I accepted this NetGalley widget. But this is the best anthology I think I’ve ever read! Usually there are a few stories that just don’t work for me, but while one was just all right, […]

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 […]
3.5 stars — Well hmmm… The first (at least) 1/3 of this book was BORING as all get out. I wasn’t grabbed AT ALL, I didn’t connect with any of the characters, and nothing interesting happened (just a lot of detailed description of every single day). I was seriously starting to wonder why my friends […]
3 stars — I don’t know…I wanted to like this one more than I did. Gwen was all over the place and hard to pin down. She had these traits that I might have connected with, but they all felt very surface and were resolved or went back and forth so much I just got […]
