2.5 stars — I mean…it was easy reading. But wow, I’m really not the reader I was 10-15 years ago. Emma was okay. I appreciated that she did try to stand up for herself on occasion, and even succeeded. I wish we’d gotten to see more of her life, her painting, her passions. I did […]
3 stars — Wow, I really have changed. I know I read this, and kept it last time. It wasn’t bad, and I’m wavering about going with 3.5 stars, but I’m in a bad mood, so this is what you get. In some ways it was a very typical Presents. Arrogant, kind of a dick […]
3.5 stars — There were parts of this story that I loved, but I will admit I became frustrated with both Emma and Jake for holding on to preconceptions for so long. But at the same time, they felt pretty real — their flaws were easy to see, easy to connect with, and while I wanted […]
3.5 stars — Well bummer. Honestly, this one started off GREAT! I had super high hopes. I’d say the first half (maybe more) was solid 4 stars, maybe even 4.5. But…*sigh* The climb to the end was frustrating, and the wrap up was too convenient. And as I told my hubby, a great book without […]
3 stars — Hmmm…this one was okay, but the characters were frustrating. At the front of the book it said it was Ms. Greer’s debut, so I definitely think her writing and characters have improved over time. I’m going to keep going on this series, b/c at this point I’m curious. But I can’t wait […]
OVERALL: 4 stars — This was an interesting way to go through 150 years of history. Sometimes it was a specific story from a time period, sometimes it was an example of something that might have happened at that time. Sometimes it was a higher view of historical people/events, and sometimes we were given a […]
3.5 stars — While I really enjoyed how unique this book was, I found all the conflict and strife to be a bit hard on my heart. It was real, but I’m just not as into that much push and pull I guess. It’s like, we had 2 characters who were both struggling with the […]
4 stars — Well this was a solid second chance celebrity romance! I have quite a few books by Ms. Herrera in my collection, but surprisingly this is the first I’ve read (if you don’t count hearing her read from her book at an event). I kind of love that Harlequin is really embracing the […]
4.5 stars — Well that was a delightfully cute and sexy Christmas read. We got a bit of an enemies to lovers feel, but the kind that I like where they just push and pull against each other, but part of it stems from their attraction, and the fighting doesn’t last. You know, enemies light. […]
OVERALL: 4 stars — There wasn’t a single art style that didn’t wow me, I loved how different they all were…though I will admit that I was drawn to some more than others. Some stories were harder for me to get into, and I’m still not used to this medium I suppose. But there were […]
