Wonderful Romance!

Don't You Forget About Me by Mhairi McFarlane

July 9, 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 September 10, 2019. So “Don’t You Forget About Me” was wonderful. I have never read McFarlane before, but now I want to read all of her books. This book had so much heart and I loved Georgina (the main character) and her friends Jo, Clem, and Rav. I also laughed a lot and even teared up when you find out why Georgina’s […]

Solid Start to a New Series, Some Bugs to Work Out

The Nantucket Inn by Pamela Kelley

July 9, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Well I enjoyed all of the background on Nantucket and this book definitely made me want to visit there since everything sounds so fun. I think Kelley has a good eye for describing people, places, and food. Seriously the food that was described sounded awesome. I really wish recipes had been included. That said, I think it was a little lacking with the romance portion and character development. I also think that doing the whole fade to black then showing actual moments of intimacy between […]

The worst

Season of the Sun by Catherine Coulter

July 8, 2019 by Manimama 1 Comment

Likening this book to trash is, without exaggeration, an insult to dumps all over the world. Zarabeth lives with her pervy step-father Olav and her young step-sister Lotti. A viking farmer/trader/raider named Magnus sees her and immediately decides that he must marry her. She’s pretty ok with that idea but has to convince Magnus that she has changed her mind when Olav threatens to hurt Lotti. Fast-forward a bit (Days? Weeks? Months? No clue) and Zarabeth has been forced to marry the pervy step-father. […]

Book Wasn’t A Straight Chick Lit/Romance

Good Enough to Eat by Stacey Ballis

July 7, 2019 by Classic 10 Comments

All in all a disappointment. I was expecting to read a romance/chick lit type book and it was all over the place. The hero in this one (Nate) really sucked. And the heroine (Melanie) wasn’t great either. Other reviewers complained about the constant speech making by everyone involved and I have to agree. Real people do not speak like this. Ballis definitely knows her way around a stove though. The recipes that she included sounded awesome and were honestly the only reason why I gave […]

Rich People Problems and One Person Who Wasn’t

Carnegie Hill by Johnathan Vatner

July 4, 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 August 20, 2019. How was this tagged as a romance? I guess train-wreck was too on point. Seriously though, I ended up loathing 99 percent of the characters in this book. Even the one person I didn’t loathe, I seriously disliked because he outed someone. I am surprised this wasn’t an Oprah Book Pick since every time she loves a book I […]

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.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
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.
