Worth and Expectations

Her Favorite Rebound (Cider Bar Sisters #4) by Jackie Lau

A Very Beery New Year (Cider Bar Sisters #3.5) by Jackie Lau

March 9, 2022 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

Her Favorite Rebound Sierra Wu is thirty-four, divorced, does not want children and is a constant disappointment to her family. They are horrified that she quit her engineering job (that she hated) to run a small greeting card store (that she loves) four years ago. Sierra is used to living a pretty small life, so the last thing she expected was being swept off her feet by Colton Sanders, the billionaire (think Jeff Bezos type). They’ve been together for a year, and despite his reputation […]

Starting the year with a sure-fire hit

A Very Beery New Year by Jackie Lau

January 16, 2022 by Malin 1 Comment

Encouraged by his mother to socialise more, introverted software developer Gerald Nakamura goes to his local craft beer bar to sit by the bar, reading a book, not really interacting with anyone except the serving staff. He especially likes exchanging a few words with the pretty and vivacious bartender Kelsey.   Kelsey lives with her rather exasperating grandmother (who just discovered Tik Tok and is determined to become a viral sensation) and works at the bar until she can find something more suitable to her […]

Bidding for the Bachelor by Jackie Lau

A Very Beery New Year by Jackie Lau

December 27, 2021 by Emmalita 3 Comments

Jackie Lau’s books continue to be a place of refuge for me. Lau’s characters always feel grounded in a reality, whole people more than devices to carry a plot. Lau uses food sometimes as a love language, and sometimes as a safe place where characters can come together. Bidding on the Bachelor is Lau’s first m/m romance, even so, it’s classic Jackie Lau. Cedric Fong is the last unpartnered Fong brother and has come out to his family as bi. His Po-Po (grandmother) bribes him […]

Yet another book to save for when you’re not hungry

The Professor Next Door by Jackie Lau

August 8, 2021 by Malin 1 Comment

CBR13 Bingo: Pandemic This book was granted to me as an ARC from the author in return for an honest review. I had already pre-ordered the book, as Jackie Lau is now an auto-buy for me. While this is technically the third entry in the Cider Bar Sisters series, each of the books in the series works perfectly well as a stand-alone. The first book in the series, Her Big City Neighbor is currently available free, however (as of me writing this), so if you’re […]

This Book Has a Sweet Tooth, Don’t Read While Hungry

The Professor Next Door by Jackie Lau

May 27, 2021 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. The Professor Next Door publishes June 8, 2021. Jackie Lau’s next book in her Cider Bar Sisters series is The Professor Next Door and it tells the story of Nicole Louie-Edwards and David Cho, the titular professor next door. A decade after getting out of a rough relationship Nicole has herself settled into her career and life with friends and family, building a life around the version […]

A first impression can often be misleading

Her Pretend Christmas Date by Jackie Lau

December 28, 2020 by Malin Leave a Comment

Disclaimer! I was given an ARC of this book by the author. That has in no way influenced my review. Julie Tam’s sister Charlotte is an engineer and has an outgoing and charming boyfriend, the guy who lived next door when they were young. She is everything their parents could want. Meanwhile, Julie works as a waitress in a Cider Bar and designs her own jewelry. She goes on a blind date with Tom Yeung, which starts out badly and ends even worse. Tom is a […]
