REVIEW: The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory

[image error]Dear Jasmine Guillory,

I have your first two books on my TBR but haven’t managed to read them yet. The Wedding Party is book three in your loosely connected series but it stands alone just fine. I didn’t have any trouble jumping in here.

Maddie and Theo are both best friends with Alexa, the heroine from The Wedding Date, who is planning her wedding to Drew. Maddie will be a bridesmaid and Theo a “bridesman” and this will mean they’ll have to spend a lot more time together than usual. This is...

More Than A Crush by Chelsea Maria $ 0.99

From the Jacket Copy:
Her

He asked me to tutor him in the eleventh grade. That was the first time my young heart fell out of rhythm. By senior year, we were best friends, and my unconditional love for him had awakened. By the time we finished college, I experienced my first heartbreak.

He’d chosen another. Someone that wasn’t me.
He’s still my best friend. I love him. All I need is for him to love me the way I’ve always loved him, but now I’ve embark...

Plus he saw the heartache his beloved mother suffered because of his rakehell father as well as how his childhood nurse was abandoned by her husband. He decides he’s going to be a better man.

[image error]

A jaded spy and a shell shocked country doctor team up to solve a murder in postwar England.

James Sommers returned from the war with his nerves in tatters. All he wants is to retreat to the quiet village of his childhood and enjoy the boring, predictable life of a country doctor. The last thing in the world he needs is a handsome stranger who seems to be mixed up with the first violent death the village has seen in years. It certainly doesn’t help that this stranger is the first person J...

But his new, older-student housing comes with an unapologetically gay roommate. Tom doesn’t ask why Reese Anders has been separated from the rest of the s...

REVIEW: The Hidden Heart by Laura Kinsale

[image error]

I’ve been rereading and reviewing Kinsale’s backlist for the past several years. (I’m only now halfway through! Man, I’m a slow reader). My Sweet Folly was already on my Kindle, ready to go. But I was feeling stressed by life and needed a treat and so decided to acquire the Kindle version of this, Kinsale’s first published romance. It’s not so much that I like The Hidden Heart better than My Sweet Folly (though I do remember having problems with the latter book when I read it). Rather it was...
