"Definitely not a sweet fairy-tale for children. This is for adults with a glass of something strong in hand and a free evening."

I like to read a short story--or three--whenever I'm struggling to get into my longer ones, which is my current problem, as I feel they help.

This was a sweet story, but I also felt like it didn't really have enough relationship progression in it. I would have loved to see more of them together. Other than that, I liked it.

I do love Elle Casey's humour in her books. I thought the first one was funny but this one...I couldn't stop laughing at some of the stuff she came out with. Total craziness but I loved it. The taunting that turned into something sweet and romantic. I loved them as a couple!

I can't wait to read more books by the author.

Anna's hidden disability made her mother Jess only want to protect and care for her all the more; especially since she has such a sweet nature - in fact, she is a "Pure Gold Baby". But would caring for Anna be enough for Jess? You can read my revised review of this novel here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2013/11/15/the-anthropology-of-motherhood/

Though it's been a while between books 1 & 1.5 and this, I have to say I remembered Riff very well and liked him in them, but I fell for him in this. He's such a great guy but doesn't believe he's good enough for Aubrey, which always melts me a little anyway, but with how sweet and gentle he is with her...awwwww!!

Diamantino is a gorgeous, kind-hearted fable about acceptance of who people are, rather than who we want them to be. It’s a bit like being in a sweet shop in a dream, you are bombarded by images and ideas – it’s all a little kitsch and little crazy, but ultimately there is emotion at the core.

Rolling Stone's 433rd greatest album of all time
A good collection of 70s soft rock songs. The only familiar song for me was "My Sweet Lord", and this very much encapsulates the feel of the rest of the album, slow melodic folky rock. There are a number of much more upbeat rock and roll songs squeezed in at the end.
