3.5 stars — This was one of those Harlequins that I kept because I enjoyed, and I guess I decided to reread it to see what current Lenore thinks. The thing is, the things I enjoyed are still there and I can see why I was sucked in. There’s a guilty pleasure about reading books […]
OVERALL: 3.5 stars — Solid anthology, but since I’m not much of a historical romance reader, I kind of didn’t give that last book a chance because I ran out of steam, you know? Also, the narrator was solid. I’d listened to another book by Ms. Eyre and wasn’t as impressed, but maybe I need […]
THE YULETIDE ENGAGEMENT 3.5 stars — It was a typical Harlequin, where the heroine makes assumptions and the hero isn’t clear and so things drag out longer than they should. I think I would have enjoyed it more if we’d gotten Patrick’s POV as well. I enjoy the fake relationship trope, and this one had […]
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 […]
4.5 stars — I feel like this series is just getting better and better…or maybe it’s that I was really excited about Zep and Roxie’s story, and while it took me on a wild ride, it definitely lived up to my expectations. Zep was a COMPLETE surprise for me. I mean, I knew there would […]
4.5 stars — I don’t know you guys, I seem to be having a string of good luck with books. This one captured me, sucked me in, made me smile, and had me looking forward to more stories in Butterfly Bayou. I don’t remember what impression I had of Seraphina in the first book, but […]
4.5 stars — I seem to be on a bit of a roll! This very much felt like a souped up Hallmark Christmas movie…by which I mean it might have had similarities to loose Hallmark plotlines, but the story was deeper and there was less cheese. And since I’m personally not as interested in the […]
5 stars — Honestly, I’m not even sure where to start with this one, I feel like I’m still reeling…in a good way, but wow. This book put me through SO MUCH, and I think it’s going to take a bit to recover, b/c I was seriously heavily invested. I think the word I’m searching […]
4.5 stars — You know what? This fucking delighted me. I don’t even know why, but I just was completely enamoured with Maelyn’s bizarre journey, and I ended it with so much satisfaction. I think part of that delight was wholeheartedly the narration by Patti Murin. Which is funny, b/c she wasn’t perfect. But there […]
4 stars — This one went a lot better than I was anticipating in some moments. I’m scurr of “litrature” as Eric would say. I am low brow…so very far from high brow. And I think I can be intimidated by books that have a more high brow feel. This wasn’t quite that though…it was […]
