Book Felt Up and Down While Reading

What I Remember Most by Cathy Lamb

October 15, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Trigger warning: Depicts incidents of physical abuse of a child So this one was my least favorite out of my Cathy Lamb reading spree. I think the problem is that the main character (Grenadine) doesn’t even sound similar to the headstrong girl and then young adult we hear about via CPS reports and then court proceedings. I think that Lamb didn’t think that through enough when she set this up. She wanted I think to have a book about a wife in hiding from her […]

Dragged Too Much

The Language of Sisters by Cathy Lamb

October 15, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Trigger warning: References to rape So this was just okay to me. I think the biggest reason why I couldn’t give it more than 3 stars was that the whole big just got so bogged down in the Russia plot, the sister dealing with a serial killer case (yep) and then the heroine’s constant repetitions to herself to keep a secret that I just didn’t care in the end about any of the characters after a while. There were some bright spots, but a couple […]

Went on Cathy Lamb Reading Spree

My Very Best Friend by Cathy Lamb

October 15, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Trigger warning: Rape Dealing with some repairs at my home since Monday so since Sunday evening I have gone on a Cathy Lamb reading binge. I am also almost done with the two Clare Mackintosh books I have right now as well. I should have just kept up to date with reviews, but honestly hit a wall of not wanting to post any of my reviews. So today I am sucking it up and getting caught up. First up, “My Very Best Friend.” So I […]

The Murder Subplot Didn’t Work

The Last Time I Was Me by Cathy Lamb

February 22, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Yeah, I know you are like well this looks like a good book, well it was except for a whole murder subplot that put it in a different category in my mind. It also at times didn’t feel realistic with what I would imagine would happen in real life with regards to Jeanne’s trial for assault of her ex boyfriend. I think I was highly amused by certain parts of the book and at times thought that Lamb had some bad messaging in here. “The […]

A Holiday Treat to Indulge a Reader…

January 4, 2015 by DragonDreamsJen 2 Comments

DragonDreamsJen’s #CBR7 Review #1   Our First Christmas by Lisa Jackson Every year, during the school break and holidays, I indulge in one good Christmas themed romance novel for sheer entertainment. This year, after finishing my B.Ed degree and the 15 week teaching internship that went along with completing the last stages, I finally had time again to read MORE books for the sheer pleasure of it and decided to sign up for a CannonBall challenge again. Our First Christmas is actually a 435 page anthology […]
