Review: Four Friends by Robyn Carr
When I was approached to read Four Friends by Robyn Carr, I jumped at the chance. I’ve only read Virgin River by Robyn Carr but I remember enjoying it immensely. I wanted to give Robyn Carr another chance and so I took the opportunity to read it. I enjoyed Carr’s writing style quite a bit.…

Review: Waiting on You by Kristan Higgins
Waiting on You by Kristan Higgins is the third book in the Blue Heron series. I wasn’t expecting it to be Colleen O’Rourke’s story. Colleen has been a character on the periphery in the past two books. She’s portrayed as a fun loving bar tender who has it all together. If people knew what a…

Mini-Review: Vampire Fight Club by Larissa Ione
Vampire Fight Club by Larissa Ione served as a bit of a bridge between Ione’s Demonica and Lords of Deliverance series. It’s been several years since I finished the Demonica series. I haven’t gotten around to starting The Lords of Deliverance series. I only read Vampire Fight Club so I could mark the Demonica series…

Review: The Perfect Match by Kristan Higgins
The Perfect Match by Kristan Higgins was a pleasant surprise. I thought I had met Higgins’s best in The Best Man. Nope. I was wrong. Not just wrong but wrongity-wrong-wrong. I didn’t care much for Honor in the previous novel. She comes off as….pretentious maybe? Definitely a stick in the mud. I didn’t dislike her…

The Best Man by Kristan Higgins *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] AH! Kristan Higgins!! Hands down this woman has got to be my favorite contemporary author. After I finish a Higgins novel I think “I have just read the best Kristan Higgins novel” and then I read the next one. I haven’t come across a Higgins book that I’ve rated below a four. I realize…

Mini-Review: A Royal Birthday by Eilis O’Neal
A Royal Birthday by Eilis O’Neal was a fantastic dip back into Thorvaldor. This short story is told from the point of view of Kiernan. He’s one of those characters that you really love to love. Kiernan is a sweetheart, and he’s mischievous, and he doesn’t much care for his rank. It was so nice…

Mini-Review: Sailor Moon Pretty Guardian Vol 1 by Naoko Takeuchi
Sailor Moon Pretty Guardian Vol 1 by Naoko Takeuchi was my first introduction to manga. I wasn’t really sure that I would enjoy it. I went into it with the wrong mindset thinking it was “childish”. Had I looked at it as another form of art I would have realized that it really has a…

Review: Pecan Pies and Homicides by Ellery Adams
Pecan Pies and Homicides by Ellery Adams is another great addition to an already fantastic series. Ellery Adams can make me smile and giggle and worry and wonder. For the most part the Charmed Pie Shoppe mysteries have been light-hearted and fun. I have found myself more than once giggling at the LeFaye women’s antics.…

Review: Secrets of a Bollywood Marriage by Susanna Carr
Ever had one of those books that you picked up because it sounded okay but you weren’t expecting much out of it? Like that book wasn’t going to do much to impress you. You’ve seen it all. Sure you’ll probably enjoy this book but then POW! it takes you completely by surprise and you end…

Mini-Review: The Transfer by Veronica Roth
Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. I’m trying to figure out how to review this book. You see I am *cough**cough* slightly OCD. If I start a series, I feel compelled to finish it. I didn’t really care for Allegiant but I’m not going to bore you with those details all over again. The Transfer by Veronica Roth…
