I’m so disappointed in this book it almost makes me angry.

Royal Holiday (The Wedding Date, #4) by Jasmine Guillory

It pains me to give this two stars, but almost nothing about it worked for me. I’m upset about it. For multiple reasons. First to understand why I’m upset, here is the premise: The mother of the heroine from book three gets her own book. I really liked Vivian last book. The idea of a middle-aged romance is intriguing and refreshing. On top of that it is set in England, where the overworked mom is taking her first vacation in years, a mother/daughter trip spurred […]

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

I should have kept track of how many pizzas were consumed in this book. (Do not read this, or really any of Jasmine Guillory’s books, if you are hungry.) This book was the perfect choice for a lazy Saturday afternoon. Theo and Maddie have a best friend in common (Alexa from Guillory’s first book, The Wedding Date) but have disliked each other from their first meeting. Maddie thinks Theo is a pompous, boring know-it-all who is dismissive of her job, and Theo thinks Maddie is […]

Oh, it’s a SERIES…. oops.

The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory

I did not realize until I was finished this book, that it’s actually #2 in a series. It didn’t really matter in terms of this story, but there’s a part of me that gets really irked by reading books out of order (even if the connection is loose). The Proposal starts at a Dodgers game, where Nikole is surprised by a scoreboard proposal from her boyfriend of five months… in which he even spelt her name wrong. She has no problem refusing the proposal, but an […]

(4 stars) You Can Thank Me Later: A Novella by Kelly Harms I’ve found the Audible originals to be hit or miss (Scalzi’s The Dispatcher was probably the only other one I really liked) but they’re free and I like Kelly Harms, so I gave this one a shot. It was pretty good — sort of sappy, sort of cheesy, lots of good descriptions of food. So basically, like a Hallmark movie in an audiobook — which I do not intend to be an insult. […]

Third Book A Bit Meh, Honestly (CBR11 Bingo)

The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory

Sometimes I just don’t want to write a review, but I feel the need to do it anyway, just to purge the book from my system and make room for the next. It usually happens with the mediocre books, the ones where you think “well, that was fine I suppose”. That is exactly how I feel about Jasmine Guillory’s third book The Wedding Party. It was decidedly fine. When I read The Wedding Date last year I noted that her debut showed the possibilities of […]

The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory

I was trying to remember my reactions to this novel, and then started wondering if I had already reviewed this. As it turns out, certain parts of my reaction to this novel were similar to my reactions to The Bride Test, which was also a follow on to a very popular and widely discussed romance novel. After Nik’s casual boyfriend (she’s mostly just using him for sex because he’s pretty) decides to publicly propose to her at a Dodgers game, she is in a bit […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
