4.5 stars — This book was exactly what I was looking for in a Christmas novel!! It had characters that I connected with and felt for, fun moments, sad moments, wintery moments…it was nice after having some bad luck. Nicki was pretty easy for me to relate to — I loved her spunky happy personality, […]
3 stars — I don’t know…this one started off not bad, but something was just missing from the writing to bring it from words on a page to magic. I’m not a writer, so I don’t even know what’s missing…all I know is that I was sucked in, I wasn’t that captivated, it felt like […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
4 stars — I kinda wish I’d read Parker and Zoey’s story before this one, just to see what Luke was like there. It’s not officially a series, but they do reference stuff from Defying Gravity, so it might have been nice to read in order. Ah well. Charlotte was an interesting heroine. I loved […]
