Review ~ Liars Like Us by J.T. Geissinger

Liars Like Us by J.T. Geissinger My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was just the kind of read that I needed! It was a brilliant world to get immersed in, I laughed and swooned, as I watched Emery and Callum come together. Emery had it hard from the beginning, and things kept piling up to bring her down. When Callum came into her life, she couldn’t believe...

Audiobook Review ~ You or Someone Like You by Winter Renshaw

You or Someone Like You by Winter Renshaw My rating: 4 of 5 stars Sloane and Roman's story was a good one to listen to. It was amusing to see Sloane fake her way through numerous occasions with Roman, but I could see these two had chemistry and things in common. I felt that Slaones twin was selfish and pushed her into situations that she didn't want...

Audiobook Review ~ The Forgetting by Hannah Beckerman

The Forgetting by Hannah Beckerman My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is not the type of read I generally pick up, but I thought it would be a good audible read. I certainly wasn’t disappointed and was quickly swept away with the storyline. It was interesting getting both Livvy and Anna’s stories, and how you can quickly jump to conclusions until you get...

Review ~ Head Over Heels by Karla Sorensen

Head Over Heels: an opposites-attract, small town romance by Karla Sorensen My rating: 5 of 5 stars Oh my heart!! It broke on so many different levels during this read. I simply adored both Ivy and Cameron. Ivy being raised by her father didn’t get to experience the emotional roller coaster that bigger families do, but I loved how patient Cameron was...

Audiobook Review ~ She's Up to No Good by Sara Goodman Confino

She's Up to No Good by Sara Goodman Confino My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’d been contemplating reading this book for a while now and decided to take the plunge. It truly turned out to be a fantastic read. I loved getting to know both Jenna and her Grandmother Evelyn. Jenna’s story was in the present as they travelled to Evelyn’s hometown. For Jenna it...

Review ~ The Birthday List by Devney Perry

The Birthday List by Devney Perry My rating: 5 of 5 stars Poppy and Cole’s story was heartbreaking but sweet. This type of read is one that will sit with you for a long time. Poppy’s intentions with the birthday list was to get closure and it was good to see her tackle everything. She grew so much as a person and allowed herself to open up more and...

Audiobook Review ~ You Then, Me Now by Nick Alexander

You Then, Me Now by Nick Alexander My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a great book to listen to. I loved getting both Becky and Laura's perspective (present and past). My heart ached for what Laura had been through and what she lost. Although raising Becky was hard for her they built a complicated relationship and the trip was a good place for them to...

Review ~ Broken Dreams by Corinne Michaels

Broken Dreams by Corinne Michaels My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a sweet read, where two single parents were tying to find happiness once again. They had lost their partners and were trying to find their way. Addi thought it was time to find love once again, where Grady was trying to build a new life for his son and himself. I liked how these two...

Review ~ Good as Gold by Sarina Bowen

Good as Gold by Sarina Bowen My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoyed the slow build between Matteo and Leila. They had been friends for a long time and missed their chance when they were younger. I enjoyed getting glimpses from the past to see where the paths turned between them. There was always an attraction, but they couldn’t get the timing right. Leila...

Review ~ Because of Her by Jewel E. Ann

Because of Her by Jewel E. Ann My rating: 5 of 5 stars Jewel E. Ann is one of my favourite authors, but I have so many more books of hers to read. This is the first book in this series that I’ve read, and it sure sent my heart on a roller coaster of emotions. First up we understand the tragic circumstances that bought Frankie to pack up her brothers’...
