4.5 stars — The banter and playfulness between Violet and Ford was BAR NONE my favourite part of this book. It just delighted me the witty rejoinders they would come up with. I laughed out loud at a few of them. They both had stellar senses of humour. I felt for the number that Violet’s ex […]
4 stars — This was a solid Sarina Bowen read — you got heart, you got fantastic relationships between characters, you got some insightful looks into issues facing couples that often aren’t discussed… I really appreciated all the layers to Tank’s character. I can’t go into all of them, because it would be spoilery — but […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — In some ways I think the blurb for this book does it an injustice. It evoked way more emotions from me than I was expecting…I guess I really thought it was gonna be more fluffy….but then again rereading the blurb it does mention what Travis is going through, so it […]
4.5 stars — This story legitimately had so many layers, and they all wove together just masterfully. I was invested in all of them too — not just the romance, but how our characters were going to grow and develop, what was going to happen with Cam’s family, would the jerks in the town ever […]
4.5 stars — I have a feeling this review is going to be all over the place. I mean, I LOVED it. It was everything I’ve come to expect from a True North novel, and I just enjoyed it immensely. It also hit me hard in a few places and made me cry. And most […]
3.5 stars — This was an adorable romance, and if you’re a fan of Hallmark movies, then I think you’re going to love this one. It played out exactly as the movies do, giving me the same sweet feelings. Honestly, the only reason I didn’t rate it higher is that while I enjoy the occasional […]
4.5 stars — OK, this book turned into something much more than I was expecting. Which makes it sound like I had low expectations, but I didn’t…I always enjoy Ms. Madsen’s work. It was more just that I had no idea what to expect. Normally I’m not huge on more than 2 POVs, but I […]
4 stars — Parts of this book were total 5 stars, I was so dug in and invested I had swooping tummy syndrome. But other parts dragged and felt repetitive. The pacing just wasn’t consistent. I also believe that the book needed another editing pass (at minimum line/copy editing). Jojo was hard to picture sometimes, b/c she came […]
4.5 stars — Dudes, I kept avoiding reading this book and missed release day because I just knew I wasn’t in the right mode for it. Ms. Scott writes very real books, and I have to be in a certain frame of mind to really appreciate that. And honestly? I still wasn’t quite in the […]
4.5 stars — This was exactly the book I needed and didn’t know I was looking for. I was honestly starting to wonder if I was in a bit of a slump, and I was starting not to trust my feelings about books. But this book and THESE characters were just so endearing and easy […]
