1) International Nursing Day: Maid for Love 1 Star ☹
2) Color. I'm calling this one emerald. Child of the Mist
3) Flowers on the cover. Long Time Coming


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 13013 comments Oh no, Becky. I just one clicked that as a freebie. Was it that bad?


Becky ♡The Bookworm♡ (mckennamuse) | 292 comments Hi Lisa!

To me, it was pretty bad. I was told that the next book is much better and that the author fixed a lot of issues. I left a review and hid the spoilers. There were a lot of things I couldn't quite wrap my head around. Insta-love and weak characters were my biggest issue.


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 13013 comments Yep, sounds awful. I think I'll leave it on the TBR for a while longer.


Becky ♡The Bookworm♡ (mckennamuse) | 292 comments One of the other reviewers told me she likes to think this book doesn't exist. LOL! Apparently, the rest of the series she gave 4 or 5 stars. Writers grow over time, so who knows. I wish I had started with book 2 myself!

OK, I'm half way through this book and I don't like it at all Mother, is a confusing book, and so far really depressing... I don't know if I want to finished it. :/ ???


Becky ♡The Bookworm♡ (mckennamuse) | 292 comments Hey Michelle!

If you're looking for a read to fill the Mother's day category, you might try Lily Graison's "A Willow Creek Christmas". Yes, it's Christmas, but it is about a single mother of 3 who is taken in by a former confederate soldier. It is sooo good. Its part of a series, but can be read as a stand alone.


Becky ♡The Bookworm♡ (mckennamuse) | 292 comments Fyi...If you have a nook account, it's eligible for a 2 week loan. I have it. Just send me a pm if your interested.

I wouldn't know about that. I never, ever finished an assignment early. I needed that adrenaline rush by finishing everything just-in-time. LOL
