(Amazon Affiliate links used in this post) Each week Stephanie, Lillian and I will be featuring a SUMMER OF LOVE review on our blogs. If you missed Stephanie’s post from yesterday, check it out at Once Upon a Chapter. And look for Lillian’s review this Thursday at Mom With a Reading Problem. Welcome to my sixth review […]
4 stars — Hey look! I hadn’t read this one before! For some reason I guess I assumed I’d read all the Harlequin Presents books I kept…I wonder what other ones are up there. ANYWAYS. Trish Wylie is totally making my faves list. She knows how to take normal Presents tropes and update them for […]
3.5 stars — Well, that was a big bag of mixed. I wonder if this author might inevitably just not be for me. This book reminded me a lot of Helena Hunting’s Pucked. It’s so popular and everyone loves it, but the over the topness is just a bit too over the top for this […]
4.5 stars — I seem to be on a bit of a roll! This very much felt like a souped up Hallmark Christmas movie…by which I mean it might have had similarities to loose Hallmark plotlines, but the story was deeper and there was less cheese. And since I’m personally not as interested in the […]
4 stars — This book had a lot of super cute moments mixed with plenty of heart and emotion. I had mixed feelings about our hero, but all in all it was a super satisfying romance. I loved a LOT of things about Weston — from his genuinely good heart, his ability to listen and […]
3.5 stars — This book was up and down for me. There were elements that worked very very well, and there were elements that just didn’t for me. Basically, it was the ultimate mixed bag. The prologue sucked me in immediately and I felt a lot for both Reagan and Zac. The problem is that […]
OVERALL: 4 stars — Holy cow!! Dudes, I *don’t read* historical romance. Which is why it was a mystery why I accepted this NetGalley widget. But this is the best anthology I think I’ve ever read! Usually there are a few stories that just don’t work for me, but while one was just all right, […]
3.5 stars — There were a lot of cute elements in this book that I really enjoyed, but ultimately they were overshadowed by characters behaving badly. So what do I mean by that? Well Evan is kind of a dick. And unfortunately really immature as well. At times I found it refreshing that these college […]
OVERALL: 3.75 stars — As with all anthologies, there’s going to be ones that connect, and ones that don’t (because as readers, we all gravitate towards different things). This one was fairly solid though. There were 2 that I almost DNF’d, but pushed through and was happy I did (even if I still didn’t enjoy […]
3.5 stars — This was a very hard book to read at times…one that brought out a lot of emotions for me. LOTS of feels for sure (some “trying to be quiet because my husband’s sleeping” bawling too), but also frustration. Teenagers are SO FRUSTRATING!! Which basically means that Nicole was very authentic to me. […]
