3.5 stars — This book has recently been rereleased as an Indie read, but I read an old NetGalley ARC copy from Riptide Publishing…I doubt there were any major changes, but figured I’d mention which version I was specifically reviewing. I find Ms. Cousins writes very differently from most authors I read. I don’t know […]
5 stars — I actually got the link to this in LAST year’s Christmas newsletter, but I never got to it. So when Ms. Daria mentioned it again this year, I knew I needed to dive in! And it was just perfect. I think short story/novellas are SO HARD to write because it’s hard to […]
Favorite Quote: “I’m a recovering alcoholic.” An alcoholic. The words stuck in my mind. I’d heard of people being called alcoholics before, but in my head they were all middle-aged, angry men who abused their families. They weren’t incredibly handsome and vibrant teenage boys. They weren’t people like Logan. I loved how this one wasn’t […]
Favorite Quote: I pulled her close, my arms wrapping around her waist and crushing her to me as I took over the kiss, slanting my mouth over hers so I could claim her the way I’d been dying to since…oh hell, it felt like since forever, but that couldn’t be true. She moaned into my […]
This was a cute short Christmas novella. It was kind of slow and I felt that the back and forth on Maddie’s part was not necessary. She had some serious insecurities and allowed her mom and sister to get in her head without checking her source. Mom was damaged and bitter and projected that onto […]
Ok, this book made me so mad! I know, I know, I shouldn’t judge unless I’ve been in her shoes, but guess what? I have. And I took a different path but I am absolutely judging over here. Honestly, this book was just a little too close to home and I think they were all […]
4.5 stars — Wow. This was a lot more emotional of a novella than I was expecting. Which is really silly, b/c it’s Kennedy Ryan…I should have known. I haven’t read anything in this series yet, and while we’re not introduced to any of those characters, I am intrigued by the world now. The thing […]
Overall: 4 stars — It seems for me that I always end up liking the first book the best…but I’m probably misremembering. That was definitely the case here though! It started off really strong, but all the books were solid Christmas reads. It was interesting to see how each author took the “snowed in together” trope […]
Favorite Quotes: Why were there so many evil people in the world? In all worlds, apparently? I mean, when did it become the norm to expect that your needs trumped millions of others? “My love for you … it grows every single day.” Perfect. He’s perfect. “Do you think it will ever stop growing?” I […]
This book was fantastic! So much geography incorporated into the story, now I want to visit Charleston! Alice was a bit of a loner growing up and pretty restricted by her mom. I loved how she knew what she wanted and just went for it. Not a whole lot of people can be a pilot, […]
