Not as Good as P.S. I Like You

February 4, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

I am so annoyed. I got this book because I enjoyed Kasie West’s other book I just finished, “P.S. I Like You.” This book made me wonder if I made a mistake in thinking that I may have found another YA author to follow. The plot did not make a lot of sense. I did not care for the main character. I seriously wondered why the love interest even kept hanging out with her, because she ran hot/cold towards him and also was rude. The […]

Geographical oddities and realistic timelines

February 3, 2017 by FyreHaar 1 Comment

The main character in these books is India Burke – the getting it on boss I first ran into in Due South. First off, I love India, because India is a stone cold bitch. Being a bit prickly myself I was so happy that someone thought someone like me deserved the HEA and the romance while still getting to be herself, to be hard and tough. She doesn’t have to take off the black eyeliner as soon as someone wants her.   India is a Sub […]

He’ll want glitter and zoo animals at your wedding

February 2, 2017 by Emmalita 11 Comments

This is a fast, reasonably fun read that you really shouldn’t think about too hard. I do want to reassure you that the romance is between a man and a woman, not a man and a dog. Good Boy is a spin off of Him and Us, and is apparently the first in a new series about the Toronto Maple Leafs. I think one other thing we should all acknowledge, this clearly takes place in an alternate universe where the Toronto Maple Leafs are a […]

Another Goodbye Girl

February 1, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

I read this for Romance Book Bingo 2017: Guy/Girl Next Door square. Though I really did enjoy 2 out of the 3 Dessen books I reviewed yesterday, this one fell very short. It has classic Dessen moments (or what I consider classic). However, the flow of this book was pretty bad. It took me a while to get through it, and I am not going to lie, I started skimming a bit last night because I was seriously bored the whole time. I think the […]

Makes me want to go to the South of France

January 30, 2017 by Malin 2 Comments

Malorie Monsard returns to the south of France, where she grew up, having left on a hike after finishing high school and made enough money in Paris to put herself through business school. Having felt like an outcast while growing up, due to the legacy of her great-grandfather who betrayed resistance members to the Gestapo, and a narcissistic father who would manipulate her, her mother, her sisters and her grandmother, and charm, lie and steal his way until he finally met an unglamourous end in […]

Sofia Khan is Not Obliged

Muslims! They’re just like us!

January 25, 2017 by J 4 Comments

…anyone who says love is all that matters hasn’t quite grown up. Sofia Khan is a lot of things: a fair-to-middling book publicist, a hijabi, a second-generation Londoner, and a modern girl. She is not a romantic, and she most definitely does not need a man, especially her former fiancé who expected her to move in with his family following the wedding. An off-hand joke during a meeting leads to a book deal: Sofia has been contracted to write a book dating as a modern Muslim girl. Writing […]
