Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Twenty-Nine and a Half Reasons in Books
Jan 6, 2021
3 stars.
The first 40% of this took me a long time to get into. I don't know why. Maybe it was the trial, maybe it was the lack of Joe, but after Mason was introduced I became more intrigued with what his role would be in the series (although I've read reviews by friends of future books in the series, so I guess I already know) and by the end, I think I was starting to prefer him to Joe (Joe's jealousy in relation to Mason was starting to do my head in) and I want to read future instalments in this series to see what happens next with this threesome.
I feel I have to add something about Miss Mildred! What a, erm...strong-willed old lady. That bit at the end almost had me crying with laughter.

Ooh, book 3's gonna be Aaron and Kreed!
Anyway, back to this. I'll give it 3.5 stars.
I loved Mitch, I liked Cody, I just wasn't so keen on the case--I know it carried on from the first book and that I should have wanted to know who wanted to hurt Jace and Cole but I didn't get into that aspect. Hence the 3.5 rating.
The author has this way of writing really hot scenes between her characters and Mitch was one of hell of a bad-arse and I loved him in this. Cody grew on me, too, after those first few hesitant chapters. I also grew to like Kreed and Aaron so their story will definitely be being read and hopefully this case will get fully wrapped up in that one.
P.S. Look at that cover!!

I dunno how I feel. 2.5...3 stars? Either way I liked the start, up until about the half way point, it was bad boy biker/mechanic and young, innocent baker coming together with an instant combustible attraction and I liked it quite a lot, though Jake's growling and controlling ways were annoying after a while.
It was the second half of the story I wasn't so keen on. The sort of rush to their relationship--the engagement--and the stalker. Now I know that we need some sort of dilemma in a story but it didn't work for me in this. And then who it actually turned out to be was a shock. I certainly didn't see it coming.
I liked Kase so I may have to read the second book in this series at some point.

Rolling Stone's 392nd greatest album of all time
This album should really have been titled "That Will Do". It really is a half-hearted slap in the face to the fans waiting on the band's last album. They had clearly given up by this point and hashed together some songs quite quickly and with scant regard to quality. Yes Let It Be and Get Back are excellent songs, but the fact is Lennon and McCartney could toss out songs like that by the dozen. The rest of the album is truly dreadful and half-hearted. Rolling Stone themselves said so at the time, giving it 3 stars (out of 5), so to include it as one of the greatest albums of all time is quite insulting to everyone else not included (and those towards the bottom of the list).

far too sweet for me.
Independent reviewer for GRR, I was gifted my copy of this book.
I find these kind of reviews the hardest to write, so it will be short and sweet, much like the book!
And I think that's what didn't quite work for me. The book is cute and sweet, so very sweet, far too sickly sweet for me!
It's a NICE book, just one that didn't push my buttons in any way (eeek!)
It's only a short book, slotting between books one and two, I think and I haven't read those. Whether those characters pop up here, I've no idea but I didn't feel I missed anything, but equally, I don't feel the need to read them, you know?
So, because I did finish it, I gave it . . .
