5 stars — This book delighted me from start to finish. Like, I can’t even tell you how much, it was just perfection for me. I always knew I was going to be fascinated by Pandora, but there was even more to her than I had been expecting. It’s strange how learning about one physical […]
4.5 stars — Well that was a whole heap of delightfulness, and while it gave me anxiety at times, it also gave me so much happiness and smiles and swoons and giggles too. It actually lived up to my expectations, and that is always a pleasant surprise! As always, I adored Mary Jane Wells as […]
3.5 stars — Once again I will preface this review by saying I don’t read a lot of historical romance…they are definitely outside my wheelhouse. But a few books in this series have been recommended to me, so I started at the beginning. The funny thing is, I really enjoyed myself, but I don’t think […]
4.5 stars — I think I’ve found a new favourite author. There’s just something about the quirky characters that Ms. Hibbert creates, and the kind of romance that just gets to my heart…mixed in with amazing depth, and it just works for me. I will say, no matter how delightful I find Ione Butler’s voice […]
3.5 stars — I will admit I was worried about how I was going to like this book. But in general there were still a lot of things that delighted me and made my heart happy. I think where it faltered were issues from the first book that weren’t solved in this book — mainly […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 5 stars — Heartbreaking. Completely different from many paranormal-ish books I’ve been reading lately. Beautifully written — it jumps around in time a bit, but it’s the first time that I’ve actually enjoyed that in a book and found it appropriate b/c it adds something to the narrative at just the right times. […]
4.5 stars — I don’t even know where to begin you guys. I adored it. Like I could feel the stupid grin spreading across my face and couldn’t stop it kind of adored it. Like I cried near the end because I’m stupidly emotional adored it. It started off feeling a bit enemies to lovers-ish […]
3.5 stars — I struggled with bits of this book, but on the whole it offered me so much. Portia was one of the biggest mix of conflicting traits I’ve ever seen. She had moments where she was spunky AF, and I was all “YEAH!” But then she would get into her head and would […]
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 […]
