Please note that I received this new edition via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This book will be re-released on July 2, 2019.  So this is my second time reading this and I really enjoyed it again. The first time I read this was way back in 2016. I was able to race through some parts though just because I already knew how this was going to end. I still liked Issy though I found her frustrating, I 100 percent enjoyed […]

The best kind of brain balm

A Kiss for Midwinter by Courtney Milan

by 2 Comments

Doctor Jonas Grantham is in want of a wife. A very practical man, Dr Grantham knows that this is by far the most convenient way to have regular sex without risking an STD, and he soon decides that the eleventh prettiest girl in Leicester would do quite nicely. Unfortunately for Dr Grantham, Miss Lydia Charingford recognises him as the young doctor who was present a few years’ prior when his mentor pronounced her pregnant and ruined forever, and this coupled with Dr Grantham’s boorish attempt […]

Are you feeling lucky?

Lucky Suit by Lauren Blakely

by Leave a Comment

Lucky Suit is a popcorn romance novella, so it’s light and cute and enjoyable.   Kristen is a scientist who researches renewable energy (I think) and is intellectual and likes stars and math and poker.  She has one of those awesome grandmas who wears skinny jeans in her seventies and fixes up old cars. And Grandma is trying to set up someone with Kristen, which has not turned out all that well so far.  So Kristen turns to online dating, which Grandma is not about. […]

Early Jill Mansell Re-Release….Not my Cup of Tea

Kiss by Jill Mansell

I received this book for free via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This book will be released on August 1, 2019.  So this book was published in 1993, and boy does it show. I think a few times Mansell probably went through and tried to update (she brings up Harry Styles at one point) but other dated references are still here (a new release of an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie). I could have overlooked that if the story had been good. Too […]

Solid Romance About Sisters

The Summer of Sunshine and Margot by Susan Mallery

Please note that I received this book for free via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This book will be released on June 11, 2019.  Well that was actually a good read compared to the other two books I finished this weekend. There were some weak subplots going on, but I did love the two sisters (Sunshine and Margot) relationship. For once we didn’t get very little scenes with people who are related. These two depend on each other and love each […]

Better luck next time

99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne

by 1 Comment

2.5 stars. Oooh, I really wanted to like this one so much more than I did. I, like many other Cannonball readers, LOVED The Hating Game a few years ago and had high expectations for 99 Percent Mine. I don’t really regret reading it because it’s at least an interesting flop, it just never gelled for me. Darcy Barrett is a pretty great character. She’s traveled the world gathering oodles of life experience and moonlights as a biker bar bartender to earn extra money aside […]
