Two Stories in One

Meant to Be Yours by Susan Mallery

August 31, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This book will be released on October 22, 2019.  So this was a great romance by Mallery. I just found out she has a series called Happily Inc. that I just heard of it. This is the 5th book in the series. I have read her other series and now want to go back and read the beginning of this one. Readers also get a nice bonus of […]

Two Narcissists Show They Don’t Understand Love or Relationships

99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne

August 26, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Good grief I don’t know who is worse, Darcy or her twin brother Jamie. How about both? Let’s go with both. These two twins who are in their late 20s still have not got the concept of sharing and that you can’t “own” another person. Darcy is the main character in this one and her first person point of view was aggravating as hell after a while. I think we are supposed to like Darcy’s blunt ways. But honestly she was a jerk and I […]

Key Elements of a Hate to Love Romance Missing

The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory

August 16, 2019 by Classic 2 Comments

So this pains me. I bought this today and ended up not really enjoying it. It was a fight to finish because in the end Maddie and Theo were not as intriguing as Alexa and Drew (The Wedding Date) and even Carlos and Nik (The Proposal). If you are going to do a hate to love romance you have to make me actually believe the two people don’t like each other. We are finally shown what happened when Maddie and Theo first met and yeah, […]

Whatever

Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey

August 8, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Seriously the most insipid characters I have read in a romance novel in some time. I loathed the heroine who just needed to get any type of life, hated her sister in law who was a nasty piece of work to her husband, and thought the hero was lame. There’s also a women’s only league that the heroine starts and I ended up disliking every damn woman that popped up in this book after that. “Fix Her Up” follows former baseball star and now wash-up […]

Do you take this romance to be your NotMyWheelHouse book?

The Wedding Party (The Wedding Date #3) by Jasmine Guillory

August 5, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

#cbr11bingo #NotMyWheelHouse The Wedding Party (The Wedding Date #3) is my #NotMyWheelhouse read. I do not do romances. Nothing wrong with them, I think they are lovely things to read. And if I was going to branch out into a romance novel, I believe Jasmine Guillory was a good reintroduction as I have read a Harlequin novel or two, a Jackie Collins and, of course, books with romances in them, but overall, not my cup of tea. But of course, I get their appeal completely! […]

Very Short Story That I Wish Had Been Longer

Playing House by Ruby Lang

August 2, 2019 by Classic 2 Comments

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. So this one was a very short book but I loved the characters that were introduced, Oliver Huang and  Fay Liu. I just thought that the book should have been longer since you don’t get a lot of time to see fully developed characters. We had a lot going on with both Oliver and Fay and think that it would have been a more cohesive book if we […]
