4 stars — Harry and Pippa were both very likeable characters, but I think I’m still not quite in reading mode and so I got a bit frustrated with them (mostly Pippa) at times…I also might have had a hard time suspending my disbelief on how often Alice conveniently napped. *snort* For all that Harry […]
4 stars — Man, I needed this. I can always count on Ms. Mayberry for just a solid romance, but without any of the usual clichés. I think the only reason I hadn’t bumped up to 4.5 is because there was the almost cliché of them both being in love but not believing the other […]
4.5 stars — Do you ever have reading deja vu? I got that a lot reading this book, but I genuinely don’t know if I read it, or it was just deja vu. Didn’t diminish my enjoyment one bit though. I definitely had moments where I was uncertain where it was going to go, or […]
4 stars — Well that one read up really fast! And it was exactly what I was looking for, a solid contemp romance. Andie and Heath were pretty typical of what I expect from this kind of romance — small flaws but generally pretty easy to love. Andie had spent a lot of time with […]
3.5 stars — Ms. Mayberry is definitely a favourite author of mine, and while I could see touches of what I love about her writing in this novella, in the end I just didn’t connect with Tara and Reid as much as I was hoping. Both of our MCs were solid people, and I genuinely […]
4 stars — This one surprised me a bit with the way things played out, and in particular Charlie’s character. She could be a bit hard to love and understand sometimes, but all the same I mostly did get what made her up. She was damaged in a different way than I was anticipating, and […]
4 stars — I wasn’t sure how I was going to appreciate this book with their initial antagonistic relationship…especially because I just finished a book recently where it played a large role in not being a fave. And it’s not going to be a Sarah Mayberry fave either, but for some reason I could tolerate their […]
(Amazon Affiliate links used in this post) Each week Stephanie, Lillian and I will be featuring a SUMMER OF LOVE review on our blogs. I think Stephanie’s post was also late this week, but watch for it at Once Upon a Chapter. And look for Lillian’s review tomorrow at Mom With a Reading Problem. Welcome […]
3.5 stars — OK, I haven’t read any other books in this series, but can I get a pet peeve out of the way? The series is called Mediterranean Nights. This book takes place in the Caribbean. *Marge Simpson growl* I will admit that while this book was easy to read, it took me awhile to […]
4.5 stars — Yeah. That was just…good stuff. I was a bit worried with the whole sister’s ex and all that shiznit, but I shouldn’t have been. Ms. Mayberry showcased how she can offer so much depth and heart and finesse in a truly odd situation, and have me feeling perfectly satisfied when I come […]
