4 stars — I relistened to the first one before diving in to catch up on this series, and this one was just as cute as that one. I don’t think I initially noticed how low steam these ones are, but honestly I don’t actually care. I like all steam levels, and this one was […]
3.5 stars — Well oops. Apparently I started this review, but barely wrote anything and didn’t realize it. So this is going to be bare bones. I really enjoyed seeing elements of the Indian wedding festivities that I have participated in with friends. I still don’t know them that well, but I recognized a few […]
4 stars — Wow, I didn’t see the conflict in this one coming! I kind of appreciate that Ms. Dixon showcased what it would be like for a couple, especially a couple coming from different planets, trying to figure out how to compromise in the bedroom. I especially loved Josie’s talk with Dagesh. I really […]
3 stars — I’m not in the best reading mood, but all things considered I was hoping for more from this book. If it hadn’t been a NetGalley, I probably would have DNF’d and moved on as it just wasn’t a match for me. The thing that disappointed me the most is that the characters […]
3.5 stars — Well shit. I swore to my hubby that War was irredeemable. That the more time went on in the book, the less likely I was going to believe in his redemption. I was at a 3 stars, maybe less, thinking that this was just not my book (I’m not a motorcycle club […]
OVERALL: 4 stars — This was an interesting way to go through 150 years of history. Sometimes it was a specific story from a time period, sometimes it was an example of something that might have happened at that time. Sometimes it was a higher view of historical people/events, and sometimes we were given a […]
3.5 stars — While I really enjoyed how unique this book was, I found all the conflict and strife to be a bit hard on my heart. It was real, but I’m just not as into that much push and pull I guess. It’s like, we had 2 characters who were both struggling with the […]
4 stars — Interesting look at the Amish. No idea how accurate it is, especially considering that is has been altered at least a bit to accommodate the horror aspects of the story. But it still wasn’t a bad look at the religion necessarily. You got to see the good bits, the community, the simplicity. And […]
4.5 stars — This one surprised me with how much I loved it. Both narrators were new for me, but I enjoyed them both. They had great pacing, great emotions, and pretty good distinct voices. Mr. Griffith nailed Ethan’s kindness and occasional innocence. Ms. McKenna NAILED Naomi’s dryness, and the balance between her hard edges […]
4.5 stars — I think I’ve found a new favourite author. There’s just something about the quirky characters that Ms. Hibbert creates, and the kind of romance that just gets to my heart…mixed in with amazing depth, and it just works for me. I will say, no matter how delightful I find Ione Butler’s voice […]
