Falling in Love with Books, One Story at a Time
Falling in Love with Books, One Story at a Time
Do you enjoy reading Holiday/Christmas books year-round, even when it is not Christmas? If so, I recommend Lauren Blakely’s Mistletoe All The Way, a holiday read that gave me the dopamine fix I craved and put me in the holiday spirit early. It’s the third installment in her Evergreen Falls series, but it can be read as an interconnected standalone with no need to read the prior books. (But as someone who has read them, you should definitely check those out too.)
Darling Daffodils Farm is the first book I’ve read by Brittanée Nicole, and if her other books are similar, I’m already excited to read more. This story made me smile, laugh, and even cry. I felt so many emotions that I couldn’t put the book down until I finished. Even now, as I write this review, I’m smiling just thinking about the characters and how much this story meant to me.
If you like reading Scottish Historical Romance with a protective Highlander who falls for his opposite, you should check out Highland Justice by Heather McCollum.
I read About That Kiss by Jill Shalvis eight years ago but realized I never reviewed it, so I decided to read it again to review it. Thank goodness I did because after reading it a second time, I realized how much I enjoy Jill Shalvis’s stories, especially the Heartbreaker Bay series that introduced me to her books. Each book introduces characters that feel like family and a great blend of humor and mystery, just like About That Kiss.
If you are looking for a Motorcycle Club Romance series full of danger and suspense, with MC members falling hard and being very protective of their ladies, then check out the Twisted Kings MC series.
Overall, this is such an emotional and tense book that was hard to put down, and I give it five stars. I wish I could give it way more, but sadly these review sites won’t let me. Jeaniene Frost is definitely one author whose books I will always autobuy because of her action-packed, tense storylines and unforgettable and lovable characters.
(Reread June 2026) This book is still a 5-star read for me. I loved Naasir and Andromeda’s love story and finding out what Naasir was exactly and how he came to be(finally). I love how he stood up to an Ancient in this book and looked out for his mate. I loved how Naasir respected Andromeda and was willing to find the grimoire book before he claimed her as his mate. I loved that Andromeda is both a scholar and a warrior. She truly was the perfect mate for Naasir.
I found this story cute, and I enjoyed getting to know the FMC, Eileen. She’s a romance reader and loves her happily ever afters, so she was relatable. I also loved the idea of the book being about her being in one of her favorite book series and finding love there. Heck, doesn’t every book reader want to go into the pages of one of their favorite books or series and live there? I know I would, depending on the book or series. (There are some books I would not want to come to life that I’ve read.)
If I could rate this series a million stars, I would. Five stars aren’t enough for this book or the series. (I’m crying while typing up this review, that’s how much this series has meant to me.)
