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. […]
2.5 stars — I mean…it was easy reading. But wow, I’m really not the reader I was 10-15 years ago. Emma was okay. I appreciated that she did try to stand up for herself on occasion, and even succeeded. I wish we’d gotten to see more of her life, her painting, her passions. I did […]
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 […]
4.5 stars — Do you ever have reading deja vu? I got that a lot reading this book, but I genuinely don’t know if I read it, or it was just deja vu. Didn’t diminish my enjoyment one bit though. I definitely had moments where I was uncertain where it was going to go, or […]
4.5 stars — I think I’m becoming a Devney Perry fan. This series is my first real foray, but there’s something about the way she writes romance that just works for me. There’s enough push and pull in a lot of areas of the plot, but it doesn’t drag out the relationship necessarily. You actually get […]
3.5 stars — This was a super fast and easy read. Both Nick and Cassie were pretty easy to like, and I enjoyed them together, though I will admit that I didn’t enjoy them as much as some other couples I’ve read from this author. I think my rating is more of an “it’s not […]
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 […]
5 stars — I devoured this in a day. Less than a day. Honestly, I wish it was longer, I could have just kept reading and reading…it was effortless. It hit everything for me. You know how there are just those books that feel like they were written specifically with you in mind? Check and […]
3 stars — Wow, I really have changed. I know I read this, and kept it last time. It wasn’t bad, and I’m wavering about going with 3.5 stars, but I’m in a bad mood, so this is what you get. In some ways it was a very typical Presents. Arrogant, kind of a dick […]
3 stars — This one started out a bit stronger and I was pretty excited, because I had been looking forward to Norman’s story. But so many of the issues I had with the writing in the first book by Ms. Whynot were still very much present in this novel as well, and I think I […]
