I’m sitting here trying to remember the details of this book, which I clearly loved at the time (May), but all I can do is remember certain scenes and the feelings in general that the book gave me. So pardon the short review, I won’t have much to say beyond: this was a great romance novel and I enjoyed it a lot. Georgie, our main character, is temporarily moving back home with no clear idea of what her future is going to look like. When […]

Lindsay’s first meeting with Ryan Kwok, a movie star, doesn’t go well when the man knocks over a tray of matcha tiramisu donuts.  But when he requests baking lessons before he appears on Baking Fail, Lindsay doesn’t tell him no.  Before too long the pair of them are cooking up more than just pastries as they bond over grief.  Their chemistry is undeniable, but both wonder if it can last. This was so much fun to read. I loved all the characters, especially Ryan and […]

Her former socialite sister, Piper, stayed behind, happily engaged to a gruff crab fishing captain. While her sister at first mainly argued with and then fell like a ton of bricks for the gruff captain, Hannah spent quite a lot of time with his second in command, the very handsome Fox Thornton. Because of his womanizing ways, Hannah very quickly decided that no […]

Four weddings, but not a funeral in sight

Four Weddings to Fall in Love by Jackie Lau

by Leave a Comment

This was an ARC that I received from the author. It has not affected my opinions or swayed me in any way, although I will say that I also pre-ordered the book and paid for a copy with my own money, because Jackie Lau is a worthy auto-buy contender. Max Mok meets Kim Sun at a wedding and is smitten with her from the first. She clearly likes him enough to invite him to her hotel room after the reception, but Max isn’t really used […]

Still reviewing books I read in July. It’s really quite sad that I haven’t been able to get my act together more. Let’s see what I actually remember of this book. Georgia “Gigi” Ross has been in London trying to investigate a sordid news story involving powerful nightclub owners and probable sexual assault and is pretty much exhausted when she’s on her way home to the US. Once her flight gets cancelled, she feels close to a breakdown, especially after discovering that there are no […]
