3.5 stars — OK, I haven’t read any other books in this series, but can I get a pet peeve out of the way? The series is called Mediterranean Nights. This book takes place in the Caribbean. *Marge Simpson growl* I will admit that while this book was easy to read, it took me awhile to […]
4 stars — Hey look! I hadn’t read this one before! For some reason I guess I assumed I’d read all the Harlequin Presents books I kept…I wonder what other ones are up there. ANYWAYS. Trish Wylie is totally making my faves list. She knows how to take normal Presents tropes and update them for […]
4 stars — You know what? This felt like a delicious guilty pleasure YA read. I’m a huge Broadway fan, so this was like bonus good for me — I loved the look into a new Broadway show. And not only that, but there were lots of references to other musicals, and it was just so […]
3 stars — Womp womp. Some good stuff, but a LOT of toxicity that I just can’t not notice, you know? Ophelia had her moments of being strong and challenging — her attempt to foil Lysander with the interview for example made me laugh. And at least she wasn’t too ashamed of her own sexuality…kind […]
3.5 stars — I got it into my head that I need to get rid of some of these paperbacks I kept, so I might be rereading them to weed out the winners from the “I’m too woke now”. This one will probably go, but I really do find it surprising how Ms. Graham can […]
4 stars — I…think I’ve already read this one. I mean, it’s possible that the plots are just so similar sometimes, but I actually wonder if I read it on paperback and then forgot and snagged it on ebook because it was free at the Harlequin store. I’m leaning towards the latter…it would explain why […]
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, […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 3.5 stars — I saw Malik and Nicolette mentioned in one of Ms. Porter’s more recent books, and had to dig around in my kindle so I could reread this. It didn’t disappoint. I LOVED the chemistry and banter between Nic and Malik…some of their conversations had me cracking up! And I enjoyed […]
THE PRINCE WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS by Leslie Kelly 4 stars — Well! I was not expecting that! It was still fun, but I totally thought the kjaeshf-ia kingdom was going to be some made up country on earth…not sure if that’s a spoiler, but it totally threw me off! It added a strange magical element […]
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 […]
