4 stars — This one surprised me a bit with the way things played out, and in particular Charlie’s character. She could be a bit hard to love and understand sometimes, but all the same I mostly did get what made her up. She was damaged in a different way than I was anticipating, and […]
4 stars — I wasn’t sure how I was going to appreciate this book with their initial antagonistic relationship…especially because I just finished a book recently where it played a large role in not being a fave. And it’s not going to be a Sarah Mayberry fave either, but for some reason I could tolerate their […]
(Amazon Affiliate links used in this post) Each week Stephanie, Lillian and I will be featuring a SUMMER OF LOVE review on our blogs. I think Stephanie’s post was also late this week, but watch for it at Once Upon a Chapter. And look for Lillian’s review tomorrow at Mom With a Reading Problem. Welcome […]
3.5 stars — This book was slower than I was expecting. I had a hard time getting drawn in. Sometimes it was so freaking easy, and I was enthralled and excited. But it was a lot of up and down, and the slow parts dragged for me. I’m glad I read it to see the […]
3.5 stars — I think I wasn’t in the right mood for this book at this time…or really any books at this particular moment. Which always sucks for the book, b/c I think it gets short shrift. Erin Mallon was solid as the narrator as always. It helps that I enjoy her male voices a […]
4.5 stars — After reading Devil in Spring, I knew I needed to go back and read Evie and Sebastian’s book, and it didn’t disappoint. I can’t believe how much I enjoyed this one, considering that Sebastian could be a real dick at times. I will admit I wish that we had learned a bit […]
3 stars — After reading Sherwood, I was super excited to read another retelling by Ms. Spooner. And as a fan of Beauty and the Beast, I kind of figured this would be a sure thing. But I wonder if being a fan kind of ended up as a hindrance instead, you know? Because I […]
4.5 stars — Wow, that took me through all of the emotions. I had all these desires for the first half of the book, and then things started shifting and I started shifting with it…and feeling conflicted. And so confused. Needless to say because of all that, this is going to be a vague and […]
4.5 stars — This was delightful, and what I’ve come to expect from Ms. Dare — quirky sassy characters in unconventional romances. This was my first time listening to Ms. Rose as a narrator, and she was not bad. I found it wasn’t always as easy to tell apart her voices, they weren’t always consistent […]
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 […]
