While this book can be read as a standalone, it is a sequel of sorts to Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda and I suspect you might get more out of it if you read that one first. The movie adaptation of said book; Love, Simon is currently in cinemas now (and it’s just as delightful as the book it’s based on). Leah Burke has a big secret and she doesn’t really feel comfortable telling anyone apart from her Mum, even her best friend Simon. Leah’s bisexual, but doesn’t […]
All the family secrets come out in this one
This is the third book in a trilogy, and it’s probably best to have read at least Hate to Want You first, to fully get the most out of the story. The central romance works on its own, but there are a lot of stuff in this book that works best if you’ve read at least the first book in the series. Evangeline “Eve” Chandler has quietly suffered her father’s verbal abuse for much of her life, and only recently started standing up for herself and choosing […]
Read this for the awesome heroine.
I have mixed feelings about this one. It’s looking like Alyssa Cole is going to be a hit or miss author for me. I didn’t fully enjoy An Extraordinary Union for the same reasons I didn’t fully enjoy this one, I think, but I loved A Hope Divided. So I will keep reading her stuff and just know that going in the chemistry between her leads doesn’t always work for me. Really, I didn’t NOT like this book, it just didn’t work the way it was […]
Do we really like brooding Marines? Really?
There will be spoilers in this review because there has to be. A blow by blow account of the book; though often frowned upon in reviews, is needed in this one. Once upon a time a screenshot was posted of the synopsis for this book. It was bad and in a very strange twist it was the badness that drew me in. Imagine my joy when the book showed up on Kindle Unlimited. The synopsis wouldn’t draw anyone in with it’s attempt at drama, and […]
Romance in the workplace
Like many good romance novels I’ve discovered, I first heard of Dating You/Hating You (2017) by Christina Lauren* on the Cannonball website. However, like it often happens, by the time I found and read the book, I couldn’t remember whose review led me to the book in the first place. I think it was described as a hate-to-love workplace romance, similar to The Hating Game. Anyway, after I was surprisingly enchanted a couple of years ago by The Hating Game, I’ve become more accepting of hate-to-love romances. I figured that […]
A fun enough read, but it was too short
3.5 stars Georgiana “Georgie” Watkins is a wealthy heiress and socialite It-girl who usually comes home from her nights out around 5am, always making sure to bring donuts for the building staff before she retires to bed. While living a life of leisure and partying at night and planning charity fundraisers by day used to be diverting enough, Georgie is getting restless and bored, and starting to consider taking her dad up on one of his many job offers. Contrary to what some people think, […]
