This is compulsively readable, but the characters are...difficult. Christian is obsessed with his wife and makes dumb assumptions/decisions based on this. Nina is relatable but also feels really naive. There are no chapters from Lily or Jake's POV, w ...more | |

I confess I didn't love this one at first. I found Tara hard to deal with at first and relatively unlikable. But she grew on me, as did the story and I ended up loving it. I especially loved the tour through India. The author does a great job of maki ...more | |

This was super cute and I loved Bradley and Celine. I also didn't realize Talia Hibbert lived in England, but that's neither here nor there, although I had to wonder if she did DofE in her high school days. I loved the enemies-to-more set up here and ...more | |

I really loved this. Enemies to lovers is my favorite trope and this did not disappoint! I loved Harper and Ryan's journey from prickly colleagues to more. Harper was a delight and Ryan was totally swoon worthy. If I have any niggling issues, it's wi ...more | |

“When God Created Mothers"
When the Good Lord was creating mothers, He was into His sixth day of "overtime" when the angel appeared and said. "You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one."
And God said, "Have you read the specs on this order?" She has to be completely washable, but not plastic. Have 180 moveable parts...all replaceable. Run on black coffee and leftovers. Have a lap that disappears when she stands up. A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a disappointed love affair. And six pairs of hands."
The angel shook her head slowly and said. "Six pairs of hands.... no way."
It's not the hands that are causing me problems," God remarked, "it's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have."
That's on the standard model?" asked the angel. God nodded.
One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks, 'What are you kids doing in there?' when she already knows. Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn't but what she has to know, and of course the ones here in front that can look at a child when he goofs up and say. 'I understand and I love you' without so much as uttering a word."
God," said the angel touching his sleeve gently, "Get some rest tomorrow...."
I can't," said God, "I'm so close to creating something so close to myself. Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick...can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger...and can get a nine year old to stand under a shower."
The angel circled the model of a mother very slowly. "It's too soft," she sighed.
But tough!" said God excitedly. "You can imagine what this mother can do or endure."
Can it think?"
Not only can it think, but it can reason and compromise," said the Creator.
Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek.
There's a leak," she pronounced. "I told You that You were trying to put too much into this model."
It's not a leak," said the Lord, "It's a tear."
What's it for?"
It's for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness, and pride."
You are a genius, " said the angel.
Somberly, God said, "I didn't put it there.”
