3.5 stars — There were definitely some great parts to this book, but there were also some lulls and some disconnects for me… Ella was an intriguing heroine, she was all closed off in some ways, and mostly I understood why. What I didn’t get was her temper! Hoowee! Matt was actually pretty surprising for […]
3.5 stars — Well, it wasn’t as bad as my other rereads of Ms. Marinelli’s books, but there’s still this super bad behavior from the heroes that’s just a bit disappointing. The saving grace in this one is that Levander has a truly horrendous upbringing to excuse his lack of emotional intelligence. Millie was pretty […]
4 stars — Well, that was more adorable and fun than I was expecting. I think after being frustrated with how long Lillian’s story was, I was worried about Daisy. But she was delightful, and I enjoyed her romance with Matthew Swift! Daisy was an intriguing heroine, because while she seemed to love having her […]
3.5 stars — A pretty solid Christmas Harlequin Blaze. A little bit of mystery/suspense in it, but didn’t really play strongly into the plot. I was a little frustrated with Lydia for holding on to those teenage impressions for so long…apparently I’m not in a very understanding mood at the moment. Like, part of me […]
3.5 stars — Unfortunately for me, I found this one to be a bit too long and drawn out. The good parts were really good, and if it had been condensed I would have enjoyed it more for sure. I think the other problem is that I don’t seem to be as big a fan […]
DNF @17% — Wow. We hadn’t even gotten to the start of what was listed as the blurb, and I’m already totally out. Neither character was that admirable in my opinion. I was almost out with Krista from her first blog post that starts the book. I’m not the kind of person that’s interested in […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — OK, I have generally always loved Lynne Graham books…there are always exceptions to the rule, but I know I can gamble on her books and *usually* come out a winner. This was no exception and reminded me why Ms. Graham takes the “Presents” genre and goes with it without the […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — I don’t know why (though I’m sure if I really thought about it I could figure it out), but I truly LOVE books where one of the characters feels they have some physical flaw that makes them not fit for society or something…that’s not exactly what I mean, but you […]
4 stars — Harry and Pippa were both very likeable characters, but I think I’m still not quite in reading mode and so I got a bit frustrated with them (mostly Pippa) at times…I also might have had a hard time suspending my disbelief on how often Alice conveniently napped. *snort* For all that Harry […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — and maybe part of the reason I rate it so highly is that I wasn’t sure if I would like this book. I had it on my wishlist a long time ago b/c of a giveaway I entered, so by the time it went on sale and I got it […]
