2 stars — Oh dear. I don’t know why I didn’t DNF this book. I should have. I think I just needed to see how it would all end up. But I am so not the reader I used to be, and I can’t unsee some things. BTW, this review is going to be spoilery…and […]
2.5 stars — Well, that was disappointing on a few levels…bummer. First, this is not really a Christmas book, so if you’re looking for a *Christmas* book, this might not fit the bill for you. Essentially the first chapter happens on Christmas day, and that’s the end of anything Christmas. Second, this is the second […]
3.5 stars — There were definitely a lot of fun elements, and I enjoyed the world (even though I may not have always understood what exactly Trinity is…perhaps I should have read book 1 first?). I will admit that the writing was a bit more basic than what I typically enjoy. Definitely not bad, but…I […]
4 stars — You know what I love? The combination of Mary Jane Wells narrating Tessa Dare words. I’m not sure I can even explain it, but Ms. Wells brings out the fun and sass in Ms. Dare’s characters. Warning, in order for my review not to be slightly spoilery, I’m going to refer to […]
3 stars — This one just didn’t come together like I expected. It wasn’t a bad book per se, but it was definitely missing some magic. I’m not sure I really fell in love with either character. Nico and Jade are both so…uncertain and wishy-washy with relationships, there just wasn’t a lot that drew me […]
3.5 stars — This had a lot of cute moments, but there were just a few things that prevented it from standing out. Brady was pretty adorable. I loved how caring he was with everyone in his life. But man, he needed to grow some balls (and I hate that phrase). I mean seriously, I […]
4.5 stars — You know what? This was the perfect book to kick off my holiday reading season. It was adorable and hilarious, with a good mix of heart and emotion. Julie and Gavin were just gold together. I loved the relationship they had as friends as the book starts, and ADORE the way their […]
4.5 stars — Wow, I think Ms. Dallen has a formula. As with The Candy Cane Kiss, I was dismayed with the attitude and inner thoughts of Luke at the beginning of this story. He was…not nice. He was seriously insensitive (probably from being a bit self-involved), and hence a bit of a bully and […]
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 […]
