Fragments of Ash by Katy Regnery

Fragments of Ash by Katy Regnery

4.5 stars — So I’ve had an up and down ride with Ms. Regnery’s fairytales, and I was worried about whether this one was going to be a hit for me or not.  I am so extremely relieved to say I LOVED it!  It sucked me in right from the start, and made it hard […]

Christmas at the Castle (Ever After #3) by Melissa McClone

Christmas at the Castle (Ever After #3) by Melissa McClone

I really liked this story. It was cute and xmassy.  It had a slow simmer to the romance. If I’m being honest it was pretty vanilla as far as chemistry is concerned.  Their attraction wasn’t physical so much as emotional and they became friends first.  Which is fine except the length of time it took […]

Paper Cranes by Jordan Ford

4.5 stars — So, as with all my reads this week, I was very distracted while reading this book, and had a hard time getting sucked in.  But somewhere after the halfway point, this book took hold of my heart and didn’t let me go, making me stay up until 4:30 am to finish it.  To […]

Never Let You Go by Katy Regnery

Never Let You Go by Katy Regnery

4.5 stars — OK, I adore this author, so much so that I flew across the country to meet her this past weekend at an author signing, hence why I was trying to read her books beforehand.  But as yet that love had only been concentrated on her Blueberry Lane series.  I hadn’t been enthralled […]
