Audiobook Review ~ The Best Laid Plans by Karla Sorensen

The Best Laid Plans by Karla Sorensen My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a bittersweet read. I loved getting to know both Burke and Charlotte; they were only brought together due to the deaths of Burke’s best friend and his wife. Charlotte was hired to restore the house that was left to Burke. Things didn’t start well for them, as Burke really didn’t...

Audiobook Review ~ Hot Mess Summer by Melissa Foster

Hot Mess Summer by Melissa Foster My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the first read I have jumped into by Melissa Foster. I quite enjoyed it; I liked that the characters were a bit older and had lived a lot of life. Nicole was a newly divorced, successful author, needing to get her muse back and decided that a new town on the beach would do that for her....

Review ~ Sick Hate by J.A. Huss

Sick Hate by J.A. Huss My rating: 3 of 5 stars It’s been 2.5 years since I read the first book in this series, so I was pretty excited to get into this one. Some of my memories of the first book were a little blurry, but I was soon caught up in the opening chapters. I liked seeing the perspectives of Maart, Irina and Eason. I could see that the relationship...

Review ~ My Darling Bride by Ilsa Madden-Mills

My Darling Bride by Ilsa Madden-Mills My rating: 3 of 5 stars It’s been a while since I have read one of Ilsa Madden-Mills books and My Darling Bride was a good one to get into. It was amusing to watch them meet for the first time, and seeing how Emmy fled when frightened. It was only a matter of time before they crossed paths again. Graham was on...

Review ~ Rock Bottom Girl by Lucy Score

Rock Bottom Girl by Lucy Score My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love Lucy Score’s writing and I was so excited to get into this read. I fell in love with the characters and it was a true romantic comedy - I swooned and laughed my way through this book. Marley was such a likeable character and a lot of us older readers are able to connect with her. She was...

Review ~ Flirting With Forever by Claire Kingsley

Flirting With Forever by Claire Kingsley My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the second book in this series that I have read and it was quite enjoyable. The gorgeous tattooed artist sure found his match with the column writer who specialised in romance and sex!I enjoyed meeting Dex and to see him settle Nora down. Neither were looking for anything serious,...
