Yours at Midnight by Robin Bielman

Yours at Midnight by Robin Bielman

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 […]

Wrapped Up in You by Jill Shalvis

Wrapped Up in You by Jill Shalvis

4.5 stars — I actually really loved this one!  I don’t know if it’s just because I’m finding I really love Erin Mallon’s narration, and that’s what set it over the top, or if it was the story, with it’s humour and heartbreak and depth…or more likely it was all of the above. So we’ll […]

Exes & Ho Ho Hos by Pippa Grant

Exes & Ho Ho Hos by Pippa Grant

3.5 stars — I was worried I wouldn’t connect with the humour, because that happens a lot with really popular romantic comedies…I guess I just don’t always follow the masses with what I find funny.  But I enjoyed it more than I expected!  It definitely has a bit of an over the top feel, but […]

My Mistletoe Mix-Up by Judy Corry

My Mistletoe Mix-Up by Judy Corry

4.5 stars — Wow, another great YA holiday novella!!  Again, touched on some tough subjects and had characters that were so easy to connect with.  Honestly?  This one surprised me with how much I liked it.  I think I was worried about the bad boy aspect… But Logan was freaking adorable.  I loved that this former […]

Jayda’s Christmas Wish by Amy Sparling

Jayda’s Christmas Wish by Amy Sparling

5 stars — Now THIS was what I was looking for in a cute YA Christmas novella!  It had everything I wanted: characters struggling with tough topics over the holidays, a sense of Christmas spirit, and a hero and heroine that I could fall in love with! Jayda felt very authentic for her age.  She […]

The Candy Cane Kiss by Maggie Dallen

The Candy Cane Kiss by Maggie Dallen

4.5 stars — OK, so the oddest thing is that this book contained a jerk hero too, and yet I loved it so much more than the previous book I just finished reading.  I mean, I was worried when I started it and Lucas was HARSH with a capital HAR.  And not just in his […]

Christmas Kiss by Tammy Andresen

Christmas Kiss by Tammy Andresen

3.5 stars — There were a lot of cute elements in this book that I really enjoyed, but ultimately they were overshadowed by characters behaving badly. So what do I mean by that?  Well Evan is kind of a dick.  And unfortunately really immature as well.  At times I found it refreshing that these college […]

Love and Libations (Holidays and Heroes #2) by Patricia D. Eddy

Love and Libations (Holidays and Heroes #2) by Patricia D. Eddy

I really liked this book.  It was better than the first one, which I enjoyed a lot as well. This story was way more emtionally intense due to the domestic abuse.  I suppose I should warn folks with triggers here.  It gets pretty graphic.  I was surprised how much I connected with these characters because […]
