4 stars — While I found the beginning a bit slower, I really enjoyed Jeremy and Aaron together. I felt like the issues they each faced were unique, something not as often explored. Jeremy was a playboy on the surface, but he was dealing with something pretty life changing in the background, something he didn’t […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — and maybe part of the reason I rate it so highly is that I wasn’t sure if I would like this book. I had it on my wishlist a long time ago b/c of a giveaway I entered, so by the time it went on sale and I got it […]
4 stars — Man, I needed this. I can always count on Ms. Mayberry for just a solid romance, but without any of the usual clichés. I think the only reason I hadn’t bumped up to 4.5 is because there was the almost cliché of them both being in love but not believing the other […]
4 stars — The humour on this one sucked me in practically from the first page and was picture Lenore perfect right to the end. The snarky wise-cracking between Dephne and Annette was just *mwah* perfection. If I hadn’t listened to most of it, I probably would have highlighted a whole schwakload of their banter, […]
4 stars — I love it when characters are inherently good, they just need a little more growth along the way. The narrators were solid. I’ve enjoyed Ms. Mitchell before, and did in this one as well. She had a great voice for Charlie, really expressed her mix of exuberance, petulance, and shyness…basically I was […]
4 stars — This one will be hard to review. There were so many parts that had me smiling away and feeling delighted. There were other parts that got to my heart and had me hurting with Viola and Gracewood. And there were yet other parts where things felt…confusing. But that could have been just me. […]
4 stars — I wrote these notes for a review 2 years ago, and I really don’t feel like making it nicer…so you get what you get. Listened with the hubby on a few road trips — shame that we had to split it up, would have been nice if we could have listened to […]
4 stars — Ah yes, another review I wrote in short form, and now I’m too lazy to expand and make it more readable…you get what you get. I LOVED the nerdy stuff, and was fascinated by how complicated it would be to be a woman with intellectual pursuits in this time period. I also […]
4 stars — Honestly, the only reason this book isn’t rated higher from me is just my book mood I think. I definitely enjoyed myself. Vincent was a delightful softy, I truly loved him. Sure, he was an idiot at certain moments, but still a loveable idiot. And I guess I could understand the mistakes he […]
4 stars — Well that one read up really fast! And it was exactly what I was looking for, a solid contemp romance. Andie and Heath were pretty typical of what I expect from this kind of romance — small flaws but generally pretty easy to love. Andie had spent a lot of time with […]
