Big Plot Hole Left Unanswered, Solid Romantic Suspense

Hold Me Close by Rosalind James

December 10, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Well another reviewer pointed out the huge plot point that was left unaddressed, so I don’t feel bad for thinking the big was a bit off without resolving that. I was happy well enough with the characters of Kayla and Luke as well as Kayla’s young son. This book has a tough subject matter though, domestic abuse. I think that James handles the subject matter delicately, and I liked that there are discussions about it with her son Eli about the fact that he knew […]

Just Say Christmas by Rosalind James

Princess on the Run Just Stop Me-4 stars So I skipped over this years ago when this came out cause I thought it was a prince/princess romance and hard nope out of there. I cannot get into those types of romances. I mean I know Meghan is now a Duchess (and Princess) but I still think it’s too much when I read romances. I know, I know, I am such a kill-joy. Honestly though the romance between Nina and Iain was great. I liked how […]

Another trip to En Zed

Just Come Over by Rosalind James

October 25, 2019 by KatSings 2 Comments

Bingo Update: This is my Birthday square. Rosalind James’ birthday is July 28th. Look, you guys know the drill here. I adore this big dumb series. I know exactly how it will end before I get to the end of the first chapter, and I don’t care a whit. I love travelling to New Zealand in my mind and spending time with these characters, even with as trite and predictable and genre-fied as the stories can be. This is more of the same, so if […]

Or Say No, No Is Okay Too

February 8, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

I read this for Romance Book Bingo 2017: New Adult. Yes thank goodness due to the two protagonists being between the ages of 18-30 that this book counts towards that square.  Eh. That’s all I really have to say about this newest edition to the Escape to New Zealand book. This book missed for me due to lack of chemistry and dialogue between the two leads (Chloe and Kevin). James does a good job with the initial set-up, but then the book just flounders right before […]
