I see why readers love her, but I really don't like this widower trope at all. As with Lover Reborn (I know, right? Who compares Sarah MAYBERRY to BDB?), the romance seemed to both drag and move too fast. Confusing as a reader to simultaneously demand and tire of the mourning and self-recriminatio...

I've yet to read a book by Sarah Mayberry that I didn't really enjoy. This one is no exception. Her characters feel real and occupy a place in the world that I can understand. What I like about this book is the honest way Angie and Michael communicate with each other. They struggle under the gia...

Looking at all of the glorious ratings, I know that I will be a minority, a VERY SMALL part of the minority. I don't like this story. Despite the premise, which promises something complicated (a single dad and his deceased wife's best friend) but I never warm up to both of them. The internal dialogu...

This story about Michael (god, I love this man!), a widower, and Angie, his wife's best friend was really lovely. If you don't think too much on anything but on h...

I enjoyed this story for several reasons. The story is beautifully written. The characters are likeable and the story moved me. Angie and Michael have a lot of emotions to deal with. Death is always a hard topic to deal with but I think that Ms. Mayberry handled it pretty well. However, about half w...
Reading, Writing and Being Generally Awesome
As seen on Ed and Em's Reviews!Within Reach was amazing. I was instantly hooked on the characters and the story that the author gives us. This book is honestly one of the best contemporary romance novels that I have ever read. The reason for this is most likely because nothing about the plot seems u...

In Mayberry's last book, Her Best Worst Mistake, I thought the heroine's guilt about hooking up with the guy her best friend had dumped was overdone. This book also features a guilt-ridden heroine, but you really can't blame her, since in this case the best friend was a beloved wife who died much to...
