4.5 stars — I don’t even know where to begin you guys. I adored it. Like I could feel the stupid grin spreading across my face and couldn’t stop it kind of adored it. Like I cried near the end because I’m stupidly emotional adored it. It started off feeling a bit enemies to lovers-ish […]
3.5 stars — I struggled with bits of this book, but on the whole it offered me so much. Portia was one of the biggest mix of conflicting traits I’ve ever seen. She had moments where she was spunky AF, and I was all “YEAH!” But then she would get into her head and would […]
3.5 stars — Well, that was a big bag of mixed. I wonder if this author might inevitably just not be for me. This book reminded me a lot of Helena Hunting’s Pucked. It’s so popular and everyone loves it, but the over the topness is just a bit too over the top for this […]
4 stars — I needed this after trying to read some other old Harlequin Presents, and being just totally turned off. I think I needed to remind myself that while in general this line no longer works for me, there were some gems that still would. I’m just glad the gamble paid off, you know? Honestly, […]
4.5 stars — Sarah Mayberry writes the kind of banter between characters that I live for. I can’t tell you the number of times I laughed out loud. And it’s not just everyday banter, she writes these fun steamy scenes that make my tummy flutter at the same time I’m giggling. I always feel like that […]
3.5 stars — This one started off a little slower and…something for me. Like, the writing felt a little more basic. But then I got sucked in and enjoyed myself to the end, so not sure if it was me or what. I will mention right now that this is a young new adult book. […]
4 stars — I settled into this one pretty quickly, and found I was fascinated by the atmosphere surrounding Corbin, and the way he saw the world. Alex was super easy to like — he was kind, caring, but also a take charge kind of guy. I loved all the little baking tidbits, and even […]
4.5 stars — Oh ho! No sophomore slump for this series, I loved it just as much as the first book! And Lila and Ford were NOTHING like Sophie and Harrison, but they were equally delightful, loveable, and hilarious. And that’s not even factoring in Emily and Jeeves! Yup, this is definitely going up into […]
The Wrong Brother by Maureen Child 4 stars — I will admit that I’ve become more wary of my Harlequin books as time passes. I’m just not the same reader I was 10 years ago, you know? I notice things that I never did before. So I was wary going into this book, but I […]
2 stars — Oh dear. I don’t know why I didn’t DNF this book. I should have. I think I just needed to see how it would all end up. But I am so not the reader I used to be, and I can’t unsee some things. BTW, this review is going to be spoilery…and […]
