I wanted to be able to give it more stars, but the narrative jumped back and forth through time a bit too much for me. Because of this, there was some repetition that disrupted my focus and took away from the narrative. I love Trevor Noah and enjoyed hearing his stories from his childhood. I just wish the book had been better organized.

Great characters all round (2 more)
Not instalove
Unputdownable
This is exactly what I needed!
I love the way the story was layed out and the characters were great and I ended up so invested in their stories. The romance wasn't instalove it was slow burn which I loved. I read it so quick as I just didn't want to put it down!

This was awesome. I loved seeing them get together. I loved the reasons and how they were falling for each other before even know who the other was. The characters are awesome as always. I do wish he had shifted more, but hoping that happens in more of the stories. Loved it like always. I am so glad I got to review it

I was really hoping to like this a lot more then i did... however it was still cute. some of the stories i liked so much more then others.. some just were unbelivable to me while others i could totally see happening. and a couple i had no clue what was going on. overall it wasnt horrible and i enjoyed it.
  
heartthrob series box set by sophia knightly
reviewed by kaila for cbr

The sweetness in these two stories is amazing. The love, the kilts, the men, their women, family, all of it is awesome. Also, I loved that I could read it in the scottish accent and felt like I was a part of their story as it came to life. Amazing

This novella collection contains three Christmas themed mysteries starring the author's regular series characters. As a fan of the first two, I loved their stories. Leslie's left me a little cold, but I do intend to give her series a try soon.

Four short stories set in a small, college town in Massachusetts that focus on the characters who live there. I really enjoyed meeting them and look forward to getting to know them better in the novels she is also setting there. NOTE: I was sent this book in exchange for my honest review.

Odelia is attending her high school reunion when the class jerk keels over dead. Then her boss goes missing. Can Odelia solve these two mysteries? The book was lots of fun, and the two stories definitely kept things moving forward.

An entertaining look at the episodes and behind the scenes stories from the first four seasons of the show. Obviously, it is outdated now since it only has half the episodes, but it is still fun for what it is.

I really like Tobias and I'm glad that I read this short story. It was really interesting to read about Tobias and find out his feelings. I really wish that this was longer, 100 pages would have been nice but a full length novel would be the best. I guess I will just have to wait to read the other short stories.
