Book Review – Tragic by Devney Perry + a signed book & gift card giveaway!!

By 21 Comments

Tragic (Lark Cove Book 3)
<— THIS ONE’S GOING LIVE AT MIDNIGHT!!!! And I was delighted to get an early review copy (this author’s writing and alpha males are spot on and right up my alley).

And I was especially delighted when it featured a moody, big huge grump of a reclusive hero… who just happened to be her new neighbor. GAH!! I LOVE GRUMPY NEIGHBORS. Er… in books. Always and only in books (P.S. My neighbors are really awesome. I love my neighborhood!!). But boy do I love that kind of book drama. 😉 read more

LOL!! That title doesn’t say much (this could be SO many books), but all the true detail in the question could be deemed as spoilers, so I spoiler-alerted on them and left that title generic. 😉

Bewaji asks:

Hey Maryse, I know your wonderful readers will help me out about a book I read a long time ago. It stayed with me and I want to read it again and for the life of me, I can’t find it on my Kindle.

*The H and h got married young (maybe out of High School), had two kids, stuff happened and they divorced. read more

Book Review – Mr. Right-Swipe by Ricki Schultz

Mr. Right-Swipe
I was intrigued by the premise of this one, and pulled it out of my paperback pile. Yep! I had an ARC, and I was totally in the mood for an “adult” story (and by adult, I mean characters in their late 20s-40s, life already on a roll… or a tailspin). 😉

I wanted something less melodramatic and more… pragmatic. LOL! I dunno.

You know I love my angst and drama, but I was in the mood for something a little lighter with a realistic twist, and I was all to0 happy to jump in. And this one was sort of a rom-com to boot, so the upbeat feel was just what I needed. read more

Book Review – Every Wrong Reason by Rachel Higginson

Every Wrong Reason (<— releasing this TUESDAY Sept 22nd – TOMORROW!!! :D)
Ooooooofffffff!!! OH MY GOD I don’t think I’ve ever cried so hard for a book before in my life (and this isn’t a “death” one, I promise). This is all about life, and living… or trying to.

Anyone that enjoyed “After I Do” will get me, with this one. It has that feel, but I’m almost tempted to say, even more intense at times. Or maybe it was just me? This week? ‘Cause I could NOT stop crying. In fact, I think the last time it’s been this bad, was when I read The Host a few years ago… like many years and tears ago (and if you read that review, you’ll know how bad I was…). read more
