Very good book, couldn't wait to finish it.

It Had to be Him was a refreshing break from the world. It was a sweet romance with just enough spice, a believable love story, and a likeable cast of characters. The book focuses on Ramin, who we met in book one, as he tries to reinvent himself after a failed proposal. I'm not usually a second-chance-romance kind of reader, but I loved the shared history between our MMCs and how easy it was to settle into their new relationship. I also got a kick out of Ramin teaching Noah how to be a dom. I may not know a lot about wine, but the book was accessible (though there were a few times when weird vocab was used) and enjoyable. Overall, the story was fun and endearing and I can't wait for book three!

This is a story of two brothers, Ivan and Perter, who are 10 years apart in age. They have very different personalities and when their father died, the brothers' drifted apart into separate lives with unresolved conflicts. Dysfunctional family, but compelling writing and great character development. It is not for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Potentially a good addition to the Harry Bosch and Renee Ballard legacy

I had to read this after reading we were liars and felt like it was okay. I thought it followed the same type of trajectory and had many parallels to we were liars, just with the previous generation of Sinclairs. I think I liked Carrie’s POV better than the narration of we were liars, although both characters had their flaws and issues.

Not the best Guido adventure, but a surprising one. The ending I did not expect. Donna sets the scene - I feel as if I have lived in Venice!

Taught me much

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I am an avid reader as well as a fan of dollhouses so I knew I had to read The Library of Lost Dollhouses. I very much enjoyed all the dollhouse details from the creation, to the meaning, just every little detail. I did like the storyline but honestly felt it was a little confusing especially regarding the main character's mother. (my Goodreads review)

Good book with a plot twist I did not see coming. Not creepy or scary but engaging and interesting.

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. This is the first book in the series An American in Paris. I read the third book the other day and am starting the second book tomorrow. I really loved the third book and loved this one as well. I especially liked learning more about Tabitha's arrival in Paris, her reactions to Paris, her first meeting with Julia, etc. The descriptions of Paris were wonderful - I can easily imagine the cream colored buildings with black railings. Tabitha learns a woman has been found dead in the cellar of Julia's building and proceeds to enter the cellar in hopes of helping to discover what happened. Since her father is a cop and she's always read mystery books, she thinks she may be helpful. The local inspector heartily disagrees with her. I loved their interactions and how clearly Ms. Cambridge describes his facial expressions while dealing with Tabitha. I also loved her Grand-pere and Oncle Rafe as well as the pets. Her lack of cooking skills made me laugh and reading a character that is supposed to be Julia Child was fun as well. I'm excited to read the second book. (from my Goodreads review)
