3.5 stars — I had a hard time connecting with this one right from the start…it just didn’t feel like a good match for me personally. Now, it did pick up in the last 1/3, hence the extra half star, but in the end I think it just wasn’t a Lenore book. The main reason […]
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 […]
3.5 stars — There were parts of this book, delightful little parts that I absolutely ADORED, and they are the reason I’m inevitably going to round up. Because while there were a lot of things that didn’t work for me, those moments, those quips, those emotions just kept me coming back…and that’s enough for me. This […]
(Amazon Affiliate links used in this post) Each week Stephanie, Lillian and I will be featuring a SUMMER OF LOVE review on our blogs. Stephanie’s post for yesterday may come later in the week (life gets in the way, you know?), but watch Once Upon a Chapter for it. And look for Lillian’s review this […]
3.5 stars — This was a pretty cute, light story with a good dose of woo-woo. Normally, I am not a super big fan of woo-woo, but I found that the way it was presented in the book was just as an important aspect of who Sam and his family were…not in a holier than […]
3.5 stars — This one had a pretty strong start, but lost some steam at the end for me… And I can’t even use this for any diversity stuff, because I don’t even know what ethnicity Summer actually is — I just know from a passing comment (and descriptions of her features) that she’s Asian. […]
3.5 stars — I really enjoyed both Jasper and Liam, but I will admit I wanted more from their story… Jasper was a lot more grumpy and disgruntled than I had been expecting. I knew he was going to be exceptionally standoffish and closed off, just from the peek we’d seen in Unguarded (which you […]
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 […]
3.5 stars — There were certain aspects of this story I just loved, but there was also a LOT going on and I think it was too much. This was my first time listening to Victoria Mei, but she has a sound similar to Erin Mallon for me (which is a good thing). Both narrators […]
