The Rosie Project: A Novel (Don Tillman Book 1)
An all around feel-good read that gave me plenty of out loud chuckles, and a mostly permanent grin as I read it. Not angsty (although plenty fun in the confusing “love” aspect), but mostly just funny as an endearing yet quirky man dead-set in his ways navigates the romance world looking for his perfect wife (dubbed “The Wife Project”). And then finds himself involved in an entirely different project, helping a woman that is ultimately wrong for him on all levels, but he can’t help but be friends with.
My Book Reviews
Book Review – The Mason List by SD Hendrickson
The Mason List
Oh my!!! This book delivers on everything it promises in that blurb! Gorgeous and tragic and exhilarating and incredibly inspiring and just soooooo sweet but in a fulfilling way. Not saccharine sweet. Profoundly sweet.
A touching story that carries as much raw anguish in it…
I was so tired of being his strength.
… as it does tender belly laughs.
“I’m the one who will be in so much trouble.”
You think I don’t ever get in trouble? Well I do!”
Book Review – Forever His Baby by Morgana Phoenix
Forever His Baby
Super sweet romance novel that caught my eye a couple of weeks ago on a recent bargain/release list. It looked SO good, cause it involved two brothers and she was pregnant by one of ’em… yet wanted the other. “Two brothers. One impossible choice.” Oh? I’m intrigued.
And then this part sold me:
Sloan McClain, the only man Lily has ever truly wanted — and the brother of the boy whose baby she’s carrying. While Lily expects a great number of outcomes when she tells Sloan her news, him proposing marriage and asking her to keep the baby is not one of them, especially not when she has every intention of giving the baby a better future by giving it the home she can’t.
Book Review – Never Never by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher
Never Never
Well, obviously when two of my absolute favorite authors collaborate on a book, you KNOW I’m going to read it. No recommendations needed, and I don’t even need to know what it’s about. I’ll happily go in blind, don’t even need a blurb jolt or anything, ’cause I just know… it’s gonna be awesome. As this one was. 😀
But yesssssss… I couldn’t help but peek at that blurb. Tee hee!!!! Pure genius. As was this book. Short and to the point but packs a powerful punch:
Book Review – Dreaming Of You by Lisa Kleypas
Dreaming of You (Gamblers)
Ahhhhh Regency romance. I’m not that familiar with the genre yet, but so far? It sure is swoon worthy, and just like Jennifer said, there are bad boy heroes in these, too! And we had a true bad boy (Derek Craven) play out in all of his glory in this book!
“Mr. Craven doesn’t know how to love. He recognizes it only as weakness and folly. That’s part of his attraction to women, I believe. They each hope to be the one who will finally capture his heart.”
