Please note that I received this via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. So "Swimming for Sunlight." I went back and forth on this one. The main character is Katie Ellis who divorces her husband and takes her rescue dog Bark back to Florida to stay with her maternal grandmother, N...

I did enjoy reading this book and found it hard to put down after Joe came into the picture. However, some of it seems extreme and absurd, especially after the climax came about. I'm really glad I'm not rich, and I don't have rich people problems.I think readers can relate to Van's problem of loving...

She has (she’s quite sure) a soon to be fiancé, a business trip to get through and then, a romantic vacation to take. Sometimes, though, things just do not go as smoothly as they ar...

Let’s be honest here, the cover isn’t what sold me on reading Why Can’t I Be You. No folks, this is an elusive, practically unheard of case of me reading a blurb for a book and wanting to read it based on that. I can hear your collective gasp at the fact that I read the blurb for this book, I is gro...

Despite raves from several internet friends, I was unimpressed with Allie Larkin’s first book, Stay. Granted, this mostly had to do with the fact that I listened to it on audiobook, and the narrator was incredibly annoying, but I still think the story wasn’t as good as it could have been. I didn’t h...

Jenny Shaw is not having a great day. She’s in Seattle — which isn’t so bad — but without her luggage, left behind in the trunk of her ex-boyfriend’s car. The very recently ex-boyfriend who dumped her when he dropped her off at the airport. Classy.She’s a basket case by the time she checks in at her...
