4.5 stars — When my hubby came home and I was crying and told him I had only an hour left in the audiobook, but I knew there was more crying to come…well, that might have been an understatement. I’m glad I stayed downstairs, I definitely would have woken him up. So fair warning to […]
4 stars — Ahhhh, a marriage of convenience to screw over immigration! I’m a sucker for that trope…and the meltworthy Irish accent didn’t hurt either. This was my first book narrated by K.C. Sheridan, and she was delightful to listen to. I loved her pacing, her level of emotion, and her Irish accent for Calvin […]
4.5 stars — Wow, I have another girl crush. Which is probably a bit weird, because I see bits of myself in Hazel, so does that mean I have a crush on myself? But she was just so extra in the best ways possible!!! I mean, don’t get me wrong, Josh Im was no slouch […]
4.5 stars — I finally decided to go back to the beginning of this series and start reading all the books I’d missed, because the group cast is so strong that you can’t help but want to read all their love stories. And Pru and Finn did not disappoint! There was a lot of heart, […]
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 […]
3.5 stars — Did you ever notice that it’s easier somehow when a book is just solidly meh? This was not that book. This book had meh moments interspersed with delicious Hallmark Christmas movie feels, and so it makes for kind of a hard review to write…and hard to decide on a rating. In the […]
4 stars — I’m a fan of second chance romances…I’m not entirely sure why, but it’s just satisfying to see people grow from who they were when they were younger and fix the mistakes of their youth. And that was definitely the case with this book. Sure, they had their struggles and they almost fell […]
4.5 stars — This book was exactly what I was looking for in a Christmas novel!! It had characters that I connected with and felt for, fun moments, sad moments, wintery moments…it was nice after having some bad luck. Nicki was pretty easy for me to relate to — I loved her spunky happy personality, […]
3 stars — I don’t know…this one started off not bad, but something was just missing from the writing to bring it from words on a page to magic. I’m not a writer, so I don’t even know what’s missing…all I know is that I was sucked in, I wasn’t that captivated, it felt like […]
2.5 stars — This one was very mediocre for me. I didn’t connect with the characters, they fell flat for me. And honestly the story felt shallow and surface-like, if that makes any sense. I had a hard time empathizing with Lil’s motivations from when she was younger and broke it off…and I had a […]
