Extremely solid second book; I liked it better than the first. #CBRBingo – Own Voices

The Bride Test (The Kiss Quotient, #2) by Helen Hoang

by Leave a Comment

I liked this quite a bit, maybe even more than the first one. It still featured miscommunication as one of the central conflicts, but with one of the characters being autistic, and the other being from another country, I feel like here it’s actually justified, and it didn’t really bother me. (It still bothered me a little in The Kiss Quotient, even though Stella was on the spectrum as well. Also, that book featured a couple of other tropes that didn’t sit well with me, and there was none of that here.) Khai believes he can’t fall in love and […]

Two Stories in One

Meant to Be Yours by Susan Mallery

by 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 October 22, 2019.  So this was a great romance by Mallery. I just found out she has a series called Happily Inc. that I just heard of it. This is the 5th book in the series. I have read her other series and now want to go back and read the beginning of this one. Readers also get a nice bonus of a short story starring a woman we find out is the adopted daughter of a […]

Two Narcissists Show They Don’t Understand Love or Relationships

99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne

by Leave a Comment

Good grief I don’t know who is worse, Darcy or her twin brother Jamie. How about both? Let’s go with both. These two twins who are in their late 20s still have not got the concept of sharing and that you can’t “own” another person. Darcy is the main character in this one and her first person point of view was aggravating as hell after a while. I think we are supposed to like Darcy’s blunt ways. But honestly she was a jerk and I personally don’t like people that push my buttons in order to get what they want. […]

Key Elements of a Hate to Love Romance Missing

The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory

by 2 Comments

So this pains me. I bought this today and ended up not really enjoying it. It was a fight to finish because in the end Maddie and Theo were not as intriguing as Alexa and Drew (The Wedding Date) and even Carlos and Nik (The Proposal). If you are going to do a hate to love romance you have to make me actually believe the two people don’t like each other. We are finally shown what happened when Maddie and Theo first met and yeah, Theo sucked, but after that there was nothing there. We should have been given more  […]

Whatever

Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey

by Leave a Comment

Seriously the most insipid characters I have read in a romance novel in some time. I loathed the heroine who just needed to get any type of life, hated her sister in law who was a nasty piece of work to her husband, and thought the hero was lame. There’s also a women’s only league that the heroine starts and I ended up disliking every damn woman that popped up in this book after that. “Fix Her Up” follows former baseball star and now wash-up Travis Ford as he tries to get his life together after being booted from the […]

Do you take this romance to be your NotMyWheelHouse book?

The Wedding Party (The Wedding Date #3) by Jasmine Guillory

by Leave a Comment

#cbr11bingo #NotMyWheelHouse The Wedding Party (The Wedding Date #3) is my #NotMyWheelhouse read. I do not do romances. Nothing wrong with them, I think they are lovely things to read. And if I was going to branch out into a romance novel, I believe Jasmine Guillory was a good reintroduction as I have read a Harlequin novel or two, a Jackie Collins and, of course, books with romances in them, but overall, not my cup of tea. But of course, I get their appeal completely! I mean these next statements with love. This is a cozy read. You know the […]

Very Short Story That I Wish Had Been Longer

Playing House by Ruby Lang

by 2 Comments

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. So this one was a very short book but I loved the characters that were introduced, Oliver Huang and  Fay Liu. I just thought that the book should have been longer since you don’t get a lot of time to see fully developed characters. We had a lot going on with both Oliver and Fay and think that it would have been a more cohesive book if we allowed the secondary characters to shine and we had more insight into Fay and Oliver’s […]

Flames On the Side of My Face

One Day in December by Josie Silver

by Leave a Comment

Apologies all. I realized after the fact that I forgot to publish here. I was so ticked off at this poor attempt of a book on Friday I just posted to Booklikes and Goodreads. My review count should now be accurate. Look you saw my updates. You know what’s coming. I don’t have much to say except this is a terrible book masquerading a romance. It’s bad enough the plot is terrible, but add in no character development of the two leads and the writing being so-so I was ticked that a lot of reviews gave this book 5 stars. […]
