A Light and Easy Proposal

The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory

by 6 Comments

Nikole Paterson is attending a Dodgers game with her 5-month boyfriend, when he proposes via Jumbotron. He spells her name wrong, he’s kind of an idiot, she’s basically just been sleeping with him because he’s hot, and she says no in front of the stadium. He storms off, and the media starts to descend, until she is rescued by Carlos and his sister Angela, who take her to meet up with her two best friends so they can drink and have pizza. Carlos is a […]

The Lost Husband by Katherine Center

Royal Holiday (The Wedding Date #4) by Jasmine Guillory

(3 stars) The Lost Husband by Katherine Center It’s not set at Christmas time, but that’s pretty close. Goats instead of dogs, though. “Anything was possible. Everything was uncertain. But I knew one thing for sure: I’d bounced back before, and I would do it again and again and again. Because that’s the only choice there is. And as many things as I still had to lose, I had just as many more left to find.” Libby and her two small children have been living […]

This One Was Unfortunately a Miss for Me

Royal Holiday by Jasmine Guillory

by 6 Comments

I was going to read this one in the week after Christmas but having taken a look at this year’s Read Harder Challenge I decided to wait until New Years since this is Guillory’s book featuring Maddie’s mom Vivian, who raised her by herself – take that task 14: Read a romance starring a single parent. I just wish this was better. Jasmine Guillory launched onto the Romance scene two years ago with The Wedding Date and has released four novels in that time. The […]

I’m so disappointed in this book it almost makes me angry.

Royal Holiday (The Wedding Date, #4) by Jasmine Guillory

by 2 Comments

It pains me to give this two stars, but almost nothing about it worked for me. I’m upset about it. For multiple reasons. First to understand why I’m upset, here is the premise: The mother of the heroine from book three gets her own book. I really liked Vivian last book. The idea of a middle-aged romance is intriguing and refreshing. On top of that it is set in England, where the overworked mom is taking her first vacation in years, a mother/daughter trip spurred […]

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

by Leave a Comment

I should have kept track of how many pizzas were consumed in this book. (Do not read this, or really any of Jasmine Guillory’s books, if you are hungry.) This book was the perfect choice for a lazy Saturday afternoon. Theo and Maddie have a best friend in common (Alexa from Guillory’s first book, The Wedding Date) but have disliked each other from their first meeting. Maddie thinks Theo is a pompous, boring know-it-all who is dismissive of her job, and Theo thinks Maddie is […]
