I admit one of the first things about a book that draws my attention is the cover. I love a good book cover and for me that means that the cover is reflective of the story and this cover is probably one of the best examples to come my way in quite a while. 'The Rebuilding Year' is a story about tw...

3.5 starsI enjoyed the characters. It's sort of a double GFY, and I like that it wasn't some massive OTT struggle. These are mature characters figuring out who they are in life, with one another, and in the context of their other relationships. It's bit odd to me how it ended. The book is long and d...

I really tried to like it, but failed miserably. I was bored out of my mind with this one.I really like a good GFY, but this one was a sudden one.

This one was slow to get started, and while I appreciated both men's struggles in coming to terms with being gay, and it was great that they did actually struggle instead of just giving in and living HEA, it was too long, and the weird campus murder aspect was just random.

Okay, so the first 65% of this book is five stars amazing. The last 35% is off the walls over the top creys. So yeah, a solid four stars and a couple of raised eyebrows. Here's why: kaje Harper has a great voice and writes really endearing characters. Really truly great characters. The plot got craz...

After reading the Life Lesson series I didn't think I would like any of Kaje Harper's books quite as much - I mean Mac and Tony. And Mac. Come on. Then I saw several people commenting on her blog saying that they wanted more of Ryan and John's story from The Rebuilding Year, so I thought I'd have a ...
