5 stars — I honestly don’t know what it was about this one that just totally captured my imagination. I was just sucked in by Fiona from the first page. Which is funny, b/c I can’t say I connected with her as much in any of the other KITC series books, but in this one […]
4 stars — This was just a fun, solid series prequel. Novellas can be tricky sometimes, in that so often I don’t get enough to feel satisfied. But I was satisfied with this one. Both characters had a lot going on with them, they were flawed but redeemable. I felt for Della’s struggle for her […]
4.5 stars — I’m not a huge enemies to lovers trope lover, and this one wasn’t quite that…but the animosity between Matt and Avery truly made me feel sad and uncomfortable initially. But I loved the way the story played out, and how Matt and Avery navigated this Christmas stuck in their office. It was […]
Overall: 4 stars — Overall a pretty successful Christmas anthology. I liked that Gabe and the town of Friendship were both commonalities to each story, though that can sometimes cause continuity issues, because it’s hard for different authors to present the same things. Most of them seemed to fit, it was just the final story that […]
4.5 stars — OMG, I LOVED THIS BOOK!! I was sucked in right from the beginning, and it just had so much of what I love in a Christmas novella! First, I LOVED our characters! Jessie made me want to smack her a few times, because she was so hard-headed and took forever to see […]
4 stars — OMG, I loved Rahn and Roman…they were so cute together. I love sweet characters, and both Rahn and Roman fit that bill. I just wanted to hug them both, and I LOVED the way they loved each other. I did NOT expect the storyline at all! It threw me totally off-guard, though […]
4 stars — While I haven’t read the first book in this series yet, I felt like this set up the world perfectly, and gave some insight into the history. I thought the take on magic was actually kind of intriguing, with it being in the air all around us, and the mages just able […]
4.5 stars — This was a fun little novella in the Fandom Hearts world. I loved getting to see Rodney and Stacy’s little love story, and for a novella, it was extremely satisfying and gave me ups and downs, feels, laughs, and swooning. The narrators are, I believe, the same as for the first book […]
4.5 stars — OK, this was an adorable little novella. It actually felt fairly complete, and only a teeny bit rushed. I was a little worried since their relationship started off extremely quickly with the fling aspect that I wouldn’t completely buy into the development of their feelings…and I will admit, that part is a […]
4.5 stars — I can’t believe how much I felt for these characters in such a short period of time. The way Ms. Ryan conveys her character’s emotions is so very effective…it sucker punched me right in the feels. And what’s more interesting is that I would feel for Bristol, and then she would have […]
