Love and Politics Can Mix

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

by Leave a Comment

Bingo Review 2 (Rainbow Flag): On the one hand, Red, White & Royal Blue is a cute, light romantic story about how the First Son of the USA and a Prince of England start out as nemeses, are forced by political circumstances to fake friendship, become friends for real, fall in love, get outed as a couple, and the face their new reality together. I don’t view this as spoilers since this is the kind of mostly feel good light read that you know will have a generally happy ending. After all, the main couple always ends up together after […]

Fairies, A Forest, and A Knight

The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black

by Leave a Comment

Well there was just too much happening in this standalone. I loved the idea of a world where fairies stand alongside humans and magic is real. It was also interesting to hear how our history and music stayed the same so you get some funny pop-culture comments here and there. That said, Hazel and Ben were exhausting. Both of them obsessed with being in love and I just wanted to say good grief none of this is going to matter when you are older. I feel like an old curmudgeon. I liked the idea of Hazel being a knight, but […]

I read this book three months ago. It was great!

The Austen Playbook (London Celebrities, #4) by Lucy Parker

by 6 Comments

This was almost a five star read for me. I’ve been trying to catch up on my enormous backlog of reviews, and when I picked this up to give myself a refresher (it’s been almost three months since I finished it), I ended up sort of revisiting it for a couple of hours. You know, not a full re-read, but just sort of lovingly scrolling through it and re-reading favorite bits. But for some reason I still can’t quite bring myself to give it the full five stars. Maybe with time? (I have been hankering to re-read her other books, […]

by 2 Comments

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review.

Sarah is trying to start a new business while happily in love with her boyfriend Niall. Molly is working […]

Wonderful Romance!

Don't You Forget About Me by Mhairi McFarlane

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 September 10, 2019.  So “Don’t You Forget About Me” was wonderful. I have never read McFarlane before, but now I want to read all of her books. This book had so much heart and I loved Georgina (the main character) and her friends Jo, Clem, and Rav. I also laughed a lot and even teared up when you find out why Georgina’s life derailed when she was a teen and again a few months later. There’s not […]

Solid Start to a New Series, Some Bugs to Work Out

The Nantucket Inn by Pamela Kelley

by Leave a Comment

Well I enjoyed all of the background on Nantucket and this book definitely made me want to visit there since everything sounds so fun. I think Kelley has a good eye for describing people, places, and food. Seriously the food that was described sounded awesome. I really wish recipes had been included. That said, I think it was a little lacking with the romance portion and character development. I also think that doing the whole fade to black then showing actual moments of intimacy between the heroes/heroines was a little lame after a while. “The Nantucket Inn” follows widowed mother […]

The worst

Season of the Sun by Catherine Coulter

by 1 Comment

  Likening this book to trash is, without exaggeration, an insult to dumps all over the world. Zarabeth lives with her pervy step-father Olav and her young step-sister Lotti. A viking farmer/trader/raider named Magnus sees her and immediately decides that he must marry her. She’s pretty ok with that idea but has to convince Magnus that she has changed her mind when Olav threatens to hurt Lotti. Fast-forward a bit (Days? Weeks? Months? No clue) and Zarabeth has been forced to marry the pervy step-father. He dies, she goes on trial for his murder and Magnus returns at just the […]

Book Wasn’t A Straight Chick Lit/Romance

Good Enough to Eat by Stacey Ballis

by 10 Comments

All in all a disappointment. I was expecting to read a romance/chick lit type book and it was all over the place. The hero in this one (Nate) really sucked. And the heroine (Melanie) wasn’t great either. Other reviewers complained about the constant speech making by everyone involved and I have to agree. Real people do not speak like this. Ballis definitely knows her way around a stove though. The recipes that she included sounded awesome and were honestly the only reason why I gave this one 3 stars. “Good Enough to Eat” follows former lawyer Melanie who is now […]
