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 […]
4.5 stars — That…was not at all what I was expecting. In an even better sense. I was genuinely expecting a “beach read”, something fairly light and fluffy. And while this book had light and fluffy moments, with banter that truly delighted me beyond belief, there was a HUGE emotional aspect that left me with […]
4 stars — Every time I read a book by this author, I’m always taken to a world completely unlike anything I was expecting…and not only that, but unlike anything I usually read. I tagged this as pirates, but pirates are never referred to in the book. But it was the closest thing I could describe […]
3.5 stars — I think in the end I *wanted* to like this one more than I actually did. It was longer. The pace was slow at times. I didn’t always like Theo. And I just didn’t get as captured emotionally. Basically I can think of other books that share elements of the plot that […]
4.5 stars — Dudes, I can’t handle mysteries…and yet I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I mean, I kept taking breaks along the way, b/c I’m so fucking impatient and I just want answers….but then I’d start it up again and be sucked in! So for something outside my wheelhouse, this was a total success. The […]
4.5 stars — There were parts of this story that just sucked me in and delighted me! But, as with all my books lately, I did find my mind wandering. I’m thinking it’s more indicative of my state right now than the books I’m reading though. Just having a hard time concentrating I guess. I […]
OVERALL: 3.5 stars — Solid anthology, but since I’m not much of a historical romance reader, I kind of didn’t give that last book a chance because I ran out of steam, you know? Also, the narrator was solid. I’d listened to another book by Ms. Eyre and wasn’t as impressed, but maybe I need […]
5 stars — Honestly, I’m not even sure where to start with this one, I feel like I’m still reeling…in a good way, but wow. This book put me through SO MUCH, and I think it’s going to take a bit to recover, b/c I was seriously heavily invested. I think the word I’m searching […]
