Just Haven’t Met You Yet

Just Haven't Met You Yet by Sophie Cousens

January 24, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

This was a great romance read. The only reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars though was that I thought at times Laura was being a bit of a lunatic. Her deciding that the man of her dreams was out there based on the contents of his suitcase had me going on geez. But the fact that the character of Ted is included pretty much as the reader surrogate to make fun of her about it helped the book in my opinion. I also […]

The Library

The Library by Bella Osborne

January 24, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This was so good. I loved the characters of Tom and Maggie. I really didn’t want to put this one down when I got to the end. When Tom goes to the village library, he wants to just go someplace where he can study and hide from his father. When he gets there though, he ends up lying about his past and is offered romance novels to read […]

Her Last Affair

Her Last Affair by John Searles

January 24, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. So I have to say, this book is a journey. It goes back and forth and you get very confused about what is going on, but hang in there. The main reason why I gave this four stars though is that the flow was up and down. And you have to “push through it” to get to the good parts of this book. Skyla is a bit of […]

Blue Lightning

Blue Lightning by Ann Cleeves

January 24, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

I don’t know what to say. I have only been in this situation with Elizabeth George and I ended up just giving up on her series. I don’t know if I will finish this series. I don’t see the point. I am honestly so aggravated. Probably because the mystery/flow in this one was so good. And I loved the characters of Jimmy and Fran. Jimmy taking Fran to visit his mother and father and to have a celebration of their upcoming wedding was an interesting […]

Red Bones

Red Bones by Ann Cleeves

January 24, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

So this was a mess. Nothing made sense and I just wanted this book to be over. I fell asleep a few times while reading this. I think the main issue is that we follow Sandy through a lot of this book and he’s not an engaging character. I read “Blue Lightning” right after this and I am going to regret that forever. I don’t know if I will finish the series after that book. I think the reason why I just didn’t get into […]

The Girls on the Shore

The Girls on the Shore by Ann Cleeves

January 24, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

So that was a disappointment. I have read other short stories by Cleeves before and this one was just kind of set before you with I thought way too many adults ignoring the situation that is revealed to us. No spoilers but I really wanted to go so are you an officer or not to DI Matthew Venn and then later to his colleague Jen that shows up. I will say that the first part of the book with Venn spying two girls walking along […]
