Be Your Everything is the second book in the series about the tight-knit D’Angelo family. This book is about Chloe, the “little” sister to two overprotective brothers. It’s a brother’s best friend story, and even though I really liked the first book, I appreciated the lighter tone of this one.
That lump in my throat? I should be used to it by now. It’s an affliction that seems to occur whenever I read one of Colleen Hoover’s books. I went through a dozen lozenges while reading Heart Bones, and it was totally worth it.
Thank goodness. A romance for grown folks—and a poignant, steamy one at that! Before I Let Go is an emotional look at a marriage burned to the ground and two people determined to rise from the ashes to find happiness again.
It’s safe to say Ilsa Madden-Mills has a hit on her hands with her Strangers in Love series. Princess and the Player is every bit as enjoyable as the first book—not an easy feat.
Gobble, gobble, gobble. That’s the sound of me eating up Nora Goes Off Script. I loved everything about this feel-good romance.
There’s something wonderful about small town romances. I’m always comforted by a supportive community where everyone knows each other and pitches in to help those in need, and I look forward to meeting the quirky residents. Runaway Groomsman has all that, plus heartfelt vibes and a slow build, wholesome love story.
A Little Too Close is one of those rare books that has conflict without an antagonist. Even without a “bad guy” I stayed interested in the struggles of the main character throughout, and I found this to be an exceptionally enjoyable story.
Someone, please book me a trip to Madigan Mountain, STAT! I don’t even ski, but A Little Too Late has me envisioning a vacation on a snowy mountain ski resort, snowboarding down the bunny slope, a big mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows cupped in my hands, and a soak in a glorious hot tub at the end of the day. I feel like I became part of Madigan Mountain, and I’m homesick now.
On the heels of Ali Hazelwood’s breakout hit,The Love Hypothesis, Love on the Brain had a lot to live up to. I’m pleased to say that while I didn’t love it as much, Love on the Brain is still quite enjoyable. I like how Hazelwood portrays women in STEM as quirky and fun. It seems to be her storytelling signature, and it’s right up my alley.
I enjoyed Memories of a Life far more than the first book, where my issues with the main character overshadowed my appreciation of the story.
This hurts. I don’t think I’ve ever rated a Jewel E. Ann book less than four stars. After all, she is probably my favorite author. I love how she mixes humor with gut-wrenching emotions. Pieces of a Life isn’t bad, but it is missing Jewel E. Ann’s signature sparkle.
As someone who listens to audiobooks regularly, I was in heaven listening to Thank You for Listening. I mean, does it get any better than an audiobook about an audio narrator who falls for her co-narrator sight unseen? The only thing that could top that was if the book was written and narrated by one of my favorite narrators, Julia Whelan. Mission accomplished!
