Silly surreal episodes
Oh dear Eve
I didn't think there was going to be a 4th series after the ending of the 3rd. After watching this maybe they should have stuck at 3. It's not at the same level as the previous series, not as witty, funny and feeling a bit rushed towards the end.
The first few episodes are very odd and a bit surreal and don't fit in. After getting back on track of finding out more about the 12 it then all comes to a very quick conclusion in the last couple of episodes. Still has some funny scenes and a bit more back story to some characters. Overall though a 4th series we didn't need.

Witty
Gives a positive message
Love this book. I now know it off by heart, as it is one off our favourite.
This was the point I realised that kids books today are soooooo much better than the ones I grew up with.
This book is sweet, clever, and tells a positive story (as do all in the series) about being given brave.
The art is lovely to look at and it is a quick amd easy read for those evenings you are jut not up for a novel or ssome lovely but complex Dr Seuss nonsense.
This is, in my opinion, the best of the series, but each one is warm and delightful, with this one subverting expectations and is a great bedtime read for small children.

All about Evie was everything I hoped it would be. I loved the first book (The Miseducation of Evie Epworth - another Pigeonhole read!), and this is a worthy sequel

There’s a great 1970’s atmosphere to this, from the fashion (Evie still loves her clothes!), to the music (she likes some very good music!), to the rather delightful attitudes of the men who work with her (it’s not delightful at all, but she doesn’t let them get to her at all!).

Evie is such a likeable character, and someone I’d be more than happy to know. The characters around her are fun, interesting, and as full of personality as Evie herself.

This is a really happy, uplifting and witty read, and I hope that we’ll see more of Evie soon!

As I said with Fighting Temptation, basically, how in the ever loving hell have I NOT read this book before!? I absolutely went to jelly knees reading all about ‘Sexy Sawyer’ and his journey with ‘Cupcake’. I didn’t think I could love a character in the MOH series more than I did Jaxon…….but, oh how wrong I was!

Sawyer was witty, HOT AS HELL, and absolutely amazing with his love and devotion for Grace. Those two were absolutely perfect for each other. I loved how patiently persistent Sawyer was with ‘his Cupcake’. That’s exactly how my husband was with me and I could feel all of my own emotions resurfacing.

Grace’s sassiness was the absolute best mixture with Sawyer’s cocky attitude. Following Grace, learning all she went through, and all she lost, was absolutely heart breaking, but seeing her rise above it all, seeing her and Sawyer together, truly was badass in it’s own way and together they baked up as the perfect couple!

Lynn and her trademark angsty work stole my heart with book 1. With book 2, she has become my absolute second favorite author. The deep love these fierce and fearless men have for their witty, challenging women, are wonderfully chiseled into plot lines that have the feels. From start to finish, this book will have you twisted up inside with ALL THE FEELS. All of them. Every last one. But, in the end, you’ll be in love with Sawyer, Grace, and all the men, dying to read the next one. But, be warned…..Sawyer will set you on FIRE and make every part of your body blush in this 5 star read!

Scientist, Dr. Maggie Magguire's life has been turned upside down. Recently dumped by her fiancee, the author of a book on happiness. Maggie spends her days sitting on her sofa eating gelato and watching romance movies until her friends come to the rescue and book her as a guest speaker on a "New Year, New You" cruise to Mexico.

Maggie fears she is unqualified because she can't find happiness herself. Then she runs into a handsome stranger who insists that smart women can't be happy, this makes Maggie determined to prove him wrong.

I enjoyed this book, it was fun, witty and full of suspense. The characters were believable and interesting.
The writer proves that if we listen to God and follow our hearts, happiness will follow.

This is a wonderful book that is hard to put down.
