Three Reasons to Run by Jackie Lau
3.5 stars Smart Bitches Summer Bingo: Free space Disclaimer! This was an ARC from the author, it has not affected my review in any way. Leo Mok (younger brother of Max, from Four Weddings to Fall in Love) is late for his cousin Carl’s wedding because he got a speeding ticket. He’s not exactly thrilled to be going, since he’s had a crush on the bride since he first saw her at a family gathering two years ago. He’s about to leave his car when […]
Husband Material by Alexis Hall
CBR16 Bingo: Rings (a whole bunch of rings being exchanged in this book) In Boyfriend Material, Luc and Oliver met, pretended to date for a number of reasons, pretended to be in love, fell in love, broke up, and then decided to actually date for real. By the time this book starts, they have been together for a good while (I want to say at least a year?) and as is often the case at a certain age of your life, they keep being invited […]
Four Weddings to Fall in Love (Weddings with the Moks #1) by Jackie Lau
Four Weddings to Fall in Love is the story of Max Mok and Kim Sung. Their meet-cute happens at mutual friends’ wedding and is quickly followed by a lackluster one-night stand. They both think the worst is behind them, and they can just move on and never see each other again. Except, there are three more weddings that summer that they are both attending (which happen to be Max’s first cousins and family friends of Kim’s). At the second wedding Max attempts to ameliorate his […]

Rain, rain, go away. I thought my reading count looked too low and then I realized I didn’t do leftovers for February, so here’s Feb-March combined. The Wars of the Roses: The Fall of the Plantagenets and Rise of the Tudors ***** Jones is such a talented historian. Gets all the important stuff of the Wars of the Roses in great detail and lets the story entertain. His Templars book will soon be on my radar. A Lowcountry Bride**** Had to read this for a library […]
Forget Me Not by Julie Soto
Ama Torres is an excellent wedding planner, who really gives her all to make sure the weddings she arranges go off without a hitch. However, personally, she doesn’t believe in marriage or in relationships that really last a lifetime. Probably because her mother has been married so many times (Ama has arranged a lot of her weddings). Now she has a whole host of former step-siblings, some of which she works with, others who she can rope in when she needs a favour. Despite Ama […]
Four Weddings to Fall in Love by Jackie Lau
This was an ARC that I received from the author. It has not affected my opinions or swayed me in any way, although I will say that I also pre-ordered the book and paid for a copy with my own money, because Jackie Lau is a worthy auto-buy contender. Max Mok meets Kim Sun at a wedding and is smitten with her from the first. She clearly likes him enough to invite him to her hotel room after the reception, but Max isn’t really used […]
