By Jenny Hale There is nothing I love more than a relationship that blooms out of snowstorm induced seclusion! Holly is trying to give her a test of Christmas’s of old when they venture late in the night to their old cabin outside if Nashville. They re lucky to get there with the weather turning so quickly! Good thing they don’t have plans to go anywhere once they get there… Joe was done his lease of the cabin and due back in New York when he is awoken by the late night arrival of Holly and Nana… looks like all three of them will be sharing Christmas together in the snowed in cabin! I loved the immediate spark between Joe and Holly and I also really enjoyed how respectful of each other and their personal situations. Holly and Joe definitely bring out the best in each other as they work together on Joe’s “project”. The local denizens of this cozy rustic haven add even more delight to the story. They really make you long for some sweet potato pie and the comforts of a small t...

By Eloisa James Hmmm… this was a tough one for me… Poppy’s character starts out so whinny and unlikeable after the prologue that it is hard to get over. She can’t really be blamed with a mother like hers. Still, you can’t help but feel for Fletcher and his robotic wife.  I Once I was finished this book and thought about it, I felt there were a lot of similarities between North and Diana from Too Wilde to Wed… If you have read both, let me know your thoughts on this! My favourite part of the story was the side side story of the Duke of Villiers and Charlotte Tatlock. I loved their chirpy banter and the way they made each other stornger. (If you haven’t already, Eloisa James has an extra chapter with Charlottes HEA on her website! Check it out- it was just what I wanted to tie up the end of this story). Overall, I enjoyed this book, as I enjoy all of Eloisa James’s books… was it my favourite- no. I think the heroine was just not enough for me, but the side stories and ...

 by Rosie Curtis “ Two people. One house. A year that changes everything.” … Too bad there wasn’t just two people in the house, it would have saved Jess and Alex some time and trouble! I digress, I really enjoyed this story and liked how it was told in the timeframe over a year. The switching between Jess and Alex’s points of view was done well and the story flowed nicely. Jess is almost thirty and has given up a steady job in her hometown to follow her dream and work in publishing in London.
