Billionaire Ever After by Jessica Lemmon

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Jessica Lemmon continues her winning streak of irresistible heartbreakers. Archer is more than a little rough around the edges but charming enough to fool even his harshest critics. Talia is a work in progress. She has the heart of a fighter and the spirit to back it up, but she always seems to have the worst possible luck. Billionaire Ever After is a modern day look at an age old story. Love is a fairytale that never loses its shine. Lemmon seduces the senses with a captivating take on an age old classic with her own special flair through the eyes of love.

The Little Blue Digger - A Colorful Cons...

Little Blue Digger wants to help his friends as they prepare a construction site but they tell him he is too little. One day there is an accident and Little Blue Digger shows them what he can do.

 

I enjoyed this story. I liked how there was so much to see in the illustrations. There is something to discover each time you read this book with your child. I liked the human face put to the diggers and construction vehicles. Your child can learn what the vehicles look like as well as what they do. A fun book for 2-5 year olds.

Little Blue Truck's Springtime - Alice S...

Little Blue Truck drives through his country neighborhood checking out the barn areas to see who is there. There are goats, pigs, cows, ducks, chickens, and sheep. He meets them and finds out what is new with them.

 

This is an adorable books for infants and toddlers. There is rhyming and counting as well as learning how the animals look. I liked the pull open tabs to see the babies and count them. I also liked that this is a board book and the pages are thick so as a child pulls the doors open on each page it will be hard for them to rip the pages or book. Perfect for those little ones who like trucks and animals. Teaches without being preachy.

 

I enjoyed the Prequel to this novel, The Retail Therapist, meeting Gigi and her friend Ritchie for the first time. Now we get to spend more time with them as Gigi tries, often against the odds, to build her fashion consultancy business. The only thing that I guess didn't really sit well with me, was how judgmental Gigi is of others' dress sense; I'm sure she'd have shot me down in flames. Justine Ellis makes an excellent job of narrating this novel, based on Gigi's efforts to build her business and expand into male shopping consultancy. There are plenty of ups and downs along the way, as there would be in any growing business. There are competitors who would sabotage her efforts and friends who stand behind her. There are less successful projects and others who become recurring happy customers. And then there's the love interest, which also has its ups and downs. I think what I liked most about this book is that Gigi doesn't rush to buy the latest items as they come out, she shops selectively, in clearance warehouses and end-of-line stores, which really spoke to the anti-waste person in me. This was an enjoyable frivolous read, just what we all need during this strange year.
