4 stars — I will admit that the main reason I picked up this book is because Mary Jane Wells is the narrator. That won’t completely sell me on a book, but it’ll have me giving it a second look. And it sounded a bit different, a bit out of the ordinary for a historical […]
3.5 stars — While the plot of this one was very fast and engaging, the romance aspect actually detracted for me. But to be fair, this is just a huge mismatch personal taste-wise as far as that aspect goes. I started listening to this one on audio since my library didn’t have the ebook. And […]
4.5 stars — So here’s the thing. A lot of this book was 4 stars, or 4.5 rounded down maybe. But when I got to the end, there were just so many things that HIT with me, that I’m rounding up and I don’t even care. Here’s another thing: I’m not sure I would have […]
4.5 stars — Ahhhh!!! This was sooooo good! It totally lived up to my expectations for Ringo and Charlie’s new life together, and I’m only sad that there aren’t more books in the series already written! What am I going to do with myself? I honestly COULD NOT put this down once I started listening […]
4.5 stars — I’m not sure what I was expecting from Fizzy’s book, but this wasn’t it…in the BEST possible way. Fizzy was delightfully exuberant, unapologetically herself, totally sex positive, and yet lost in such a unique way. I’m sure I’ve read a heroine like her, but trust me when I say it’s rare. I […]
4 stars — I wasn’t sure how I was going to like this book given that the heroine initially has feelings for someone else. And while I definitely struggled with the whole prolonged misunderstandings/lack of communication thing at the end, it was still just a really fun and adorable book. I loved how absolutely nerdy […]
4 stars — While I definitely enjoyed this one, there were moments where I felt like the conflict drew out too long and I was impatience for growth or change…and probably on a personal note, I had a harder time remembering the issues of the times and Beatrice’s very valid avoidance of remarrying. Maybe because […]
4.5 stars — This one felt both very different from historical romances I’ve read so far, but also not. There was just something refreshing and frank about Jess, and I loved her. Ms. Kingsley did a great job with the narration. Occasionally I had a moment of not knowing who was speaking, but generally it […]
3 stars — I think I wanted to like this one more than I did…since I kept doing anything other than listening to this audiobook to finish it. It wasn’t a bad story, there were just a few things that didn’t work for me and prevented me from loving it. One of the major things […]
4.5 stars — This one started off solid, and I definitely enjoyed the wildness that was their night in Vegas. Things got a little sticky after that for a bit, but I was still enjoying myself. But at a certain point about halfway through the book it just really shot up, and I loved the […]
