Her Big City Neighbor (Cider Bar Sisters #1) by Jackie Lau

August 25, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Jackie Lau has started a new series set in Toronto, the Cider Bar Sisters. The Cider Bar Sisters are a group of friends. Most of them met at the engineering program in college. I’m very excited about this series. I received an arc of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. Her Big City Neighbor introduces Amy to the Sisters. Amy inherits a house in Toronto and takes it as an opportunity to put some distance between herself and her small […]

Yes, Jackie Lau is my Comfort Read

Pregnant by the Playboy by Jackie Lau

May 19, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Jackie Lau has become my comfort author since I started reading her a year ago. I’m on her list for advance reader copies. When I get an email that a new arc is available, I do a happy dance. I am giving an honest review. If Lau ever writes a book I hate or find problematic, I’ll let you know. I honestly really enjoyed it, but I can’t say I’m objective. There’s a story about my bff trying to tell me she was pregnant after […]

Two Great Tropes in One

A Fake Girlfriend for Chinese New Year by Jackie Lau

December 10, 2019 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Jackie Lau’s A Fake Girlfriend for Chinese New Year is the third in her quartet of small town holiday romances, Holidays with the Wongs. Lau is one of the authors I discovered this year via Twitter and she has become one of my comfort reads. I have yet to dislike one of her books, and I found this one charming, and yes, comfortable. After being traumatized with a surprise blind date in A Match Made for Thanksgiving, Zach Wong is worried his mother and grandmother will try […]

A Canadian Fur Trapper Romance?

March 2, 2016 by Mrs. Julien 3 Comments

Bookbub Synopsis: Fiercely independent fur trapper André … That’s all I needed. As a Canadian, how could I resist that historical romance introduction? The promise (unfulfilled) of beaver viscera and the potential for freezing to death were too tantalizing. I don’t know what your knowledge of the fur trade is, but voyageurs, while badass, aren’t exactly a romantic group, unless you are one of those people who wants to eat rocks for breakfast and live off the grid in an especially harsh climate. Originally published […]
