3.5 stars — *sigh* These books are super fast to gobble up, and I do enjoy that in some ways. But it does mean that, again, not a lot of time is given to certain plot points to really expand on the emotional impact. In this case it was Knox’s father, and Reese’s healing. Knox […]
4 stars — This was a solid Sarina Bowen read — you got heart, you got fantastic relationships between characters, you got some insightful looks into issues facing couples that often aren’t discussed… I really appreciated all the layers to Tank’s character. I can’t go into all of them, because it would be spoilery — but […]
DNF @ 14% — I really really wanted to love this book, what with its double whammy of diversity. I rarely find religious diversity books, so I was super excited! But. *sigh* I had a hard time getting sucked into this one. The writing was okay, but I wasn’t connecting with Gaby (or her friend), […]
3.5 stars — There were so many things I truly enjoyed about this story, but also a few things that were a bit meh. I actually genuinely liked both Eilish and Bryan on the whole. They were characters that had both made mistakes or rather were living with the consequences of their decisions. The problem is […]
4.5 stars — Well phew. I’ve only read book 1 in this series, and it just didn’t work for me personally. In fact, I started to listen to the audiobook for a reread to see if my tastes changed, and I only got to chapter 2 before realizing I still wasn’t enjoying myself. But I […]
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 — Oh, look at that. I started it at bedtime and stayed up until after 3am finishing it. Damn this series is addicting. I’m sad I’m all caught up now. I loved that this one gave us yet again a different kind of heroine, looking for different things. It was so refreshing that […]
2.5 stars — I just didn’t connect with this one. I couldn’t connect with either Izzy or Braxton, or their romance. I got some of the emotions and betrayals that Izzy felt, but I wasn’t a fan of having the past strung along throughout the book, told in chunks. It made it so that while […]
3.5 stars — I was really excited about this book after reading the prequel story “Christmas Interference” in the Hockey Holidays anthology. I experienced a lot of feels in that short story, and I connected with both Shane and Chloe. But the Shane and Chloe at the end of that story were a LONG WAYS […]
