I got an advance copy of this book from Net Galley and I was excited. I heard a little about the book on Twitter. This was a solid four star read. I enjoyed the characters. Lina was an interesting character. She tried to keep this solid outer shell and not show too much emotion. Even... Continue Reading →
I slacked off in my reading in the second part of the year. Who knows how great my final number could have been if I kept up my beginning of the year pace. But life happens. I will say this was a great year in books for me. I read some amazing... Continue Reading →
Oh, this book was super cute. Magda and Ty were adorable. It was a sort of enemies to lovers thing but not really enemies... but they were on opposite sides of the issue of a community garden. I enjoyed the flow of the tale and the back story of both characters. It added to their... Continue Reading →
I got this book from NetGalley and I am glad I did. This story was really good. It sucked me in from the moment that it began. Cami was a great character. You meet her and her sisters and are instantly curious about them. The connection she has with Sam is awesome. Their meeting was... Continue Reading →
Nina Crespo did a good job with this. The story was great. The baby steps and missteps in the relationship were enjoyable to read. Natalie and Rome were an interesting couple.

I liked how it was tied to another... Continue Reading →

Book two in the Sugar Lake series had me at hello. I loved Drea in the first book. Then when we get some of Mrs. Betty... Listen... I adore Mrs. Betty. She is my kinda lady! Her and Aunt Joyce give me life. Drea and Kellen aren't exactly enemies to lovers. And I actually love... Continue Reading →
Okay. I have a wacky way of rating books and I thought I should share it with y'all. I don't force myself to finish a book too often so I rarely will rate something lower than 3 stars. 2 stars means I had some strange reason for finishing the book against my better judgement. 3...
