Charlotte (184 KP) rated In Darkness: The Werewolf in Books
Jun 2, 2023
Beautiful and heartwarming
This beautiful short story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Vicki and Nicholas, both amazing people, both struggled with self-confidence for different reasons. Their meeting is a definite meet cute and is just the start of sweet story that combines romance and surprises.
This is perfect for a chilled out afternoon. By the end I was wanting more, I'd love to delve a little deeper, see where things go from where we left off.
I'm thrilled that this is part of the In Darkness series, more supernatural stories to enthrall and delight!

Lindsay (1706 KP) rated The Christmas Swap in Books
Dec 24, 2020
Looking for a sweet Christmas themed book that deals with a romance. This book has it and a sweet way of how it goes. This deals with a house swap at Christmas time. This book reminds me of the Hallmark Movie called “The Christmas Swap.” I do not know if this was a make on that or if it was maybe inspired by it. I do not know.
The book is about two families but mostly about a songwriter that somehow ends up taking care of this own house. The way it comes about seems kind of cute. We also have Emma who is struggling to be a musician. How will Emma and West's relationship go?
Will Gillian or maybe Harris mess up the sweet romance that is blooming? Does this seem to take a turn when someone figures out who West is? Is the caretaker who he is? Emma seems to be belated with the house they are staying in and the area in Colorado. Will the family and guest learn to ski and enjoy Christmas before going home?
The author writes this book well. This book is Christmas themed and charming. I enjoyed it. The only thing I kinda wish it was a bit more to it. Though I guess, I read too many romances to see how it ends. It is not all that bad. The story is caring and a bit different in the way that the owner is the one in more of a predicament than the heroine.

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Lord of Night (Rogues to Riches, #3) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
The third novel in this series but can be read as a standalone, Lord of Night was a lovely read. I adore historical romances and I particularly enjoyed that the hero of this story wasn't a duke (or something similar...)
I don't have much to say about this book other than I enjoyed it. They characters felt more dynamic than the cut and paste characters you read in other historical romances. The H/h had a sweet slow romance the naturally developed over times. It was a pleasure to read with a HEA that will leave the ready content.

Lindsay (1706 KP) rated A Letter from Lancaster County in Books
Apr 9, 2019
A Letter for Lancaster County is a good sweet story. It seems about a redemption and learning to deal with death and grief. What a lovely plot. Katie Lloyd does a good job with it. We get the perspective of the main characters named Rose and Angelina.
They get a letter from their aunt Sylvia. Both girls is dealing with their own problems and grief of their mother. Will they learn that letting go and have faith? There a budding romance going on as well. What could that be and can Glenn and Rose being a match? You will need to find out by reading.
Can Angelina figure out what going on at home and her husband and family? To find that out, you will need to read to determine that. They find out that their Aunt Sylvia is sick, Will Rose decide to stay or will she go back to her home in Washington? This is a lovely and sweet story of love, friendship, and redemptions.

I'm still kinda undecided on how to rate this because I really, really, really liked it. 4 star? 5 star? Ugh!
It was a sweet romance with some bdsm elements--which I'm not always a fan of--but it was done in a way that made me want to keep reading and in the end I fell for both Sev and Demetrie.
They were both damaged in different ways and the more I learnt about them the more I wanted to wrap them in a big hug.
Things started off a little shaky between them but by the end I was almost crying thinking of what might or might not happen between them. It was such a sweet story with lots of these:
If you like books a little dystopian-y and/or bdsm/erotica-y then you should really like this! There was even a slight threesome in there for fans of that too :)

AJaneClark (3962 KP) rated Pucked Off (Pucked #5) in Books
May 30, 2020
Pucked Off is the story of the sweet and haunted Lance and sports physio Poppy. Lance met Poppy when he was at his lowest, recovering not only from a sports injury playing ice hockey, but also when he was struggling to recover from the emotional abuse that seemed to follow him through his life.
Whilst this is predominantly part of a comical and erotic driven romance series, there is something sweet about this edition to the series. It allows this kind genuine man, surrounded by his "family" of ice hockey players and their partners,getting the girl of his dreams, a girl who will nurture and support him even on his darkest days. But will it be smooth running? Will it be a happy ending?
Helena Hunting again demonstrates her sense of humour and wickedness with Pucked Off, leaving the reader in stitches whilst their heart melts. Really enjoyed this story and couldn't think of a cuter pair!

Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated Midnight Sun (2018) in Movies
Sep 25, 2019
A 17-year-old girl suffers from a condition that prevents her from being out in the sunlight.
I was left a wreck after watching this. It's totally unbelievable and sickly sweet, but who care about that? As with everything, I would guess that some creative license was taken with XP and how it affects those that have it. But I'd also imagine that the emotions expressed in the film are nearer the mark.
The first half of the movie passed by as another teen romance with a twist, but it wasn't until the sunrise scene that I really felt this movie.
Up until that point in the movie it was funny and uplifting. It's a wonderful romance, even though as I mentioned, completely far fetched. But that's why we go to these sorts of movies isn't it? Why would we want the every day?

Merissa (11805 KP) rated Perfect Storm (Life Sucks #6) in Books
Jul 26, 2022 (Updated Jul 26, 2023)
"A sweet second chance romance with sexy times!"
PERFECT STORM is the sixth book in the Life Sucks series but you don't have to have read the others to get this one.
Caleb ghosted Kim four years ago. He had his reasons and put himself into a timeout to sort out his head. That didn't help Kim when she realised she was pregnant. Her dreams went up in smoke and she concentrated on putting her son first. Fast forward and they meet again. Caleb knows Cole is his son and is heartbroken at what he has missed through his own fault. He is determined to put things right and to win back Kim, plus have Cole in his life.
This is a sweet second-chance romance where neither main character acts like a jerk just for the sake of it. No, they're not sweetness and light all the time. Who is? Instead, you get fully-rounded characters that interact and build up their time together.
An easy-to-read story with sexy times, I have no hesitation in recommending this book. Looking forward to reading Raven's!

Goddess in the Stacks (553 KP) rated When Dimple Met Rishi in Books
May 23, 2019
I've seen this book get raved about online, but it just didn't sound that exceptional - yet another young adult romance. Contemporary, at that. But I finally read it for the Year of the Asian Challenge, and I am SO. GLAD. I DID.
Rishi Patel stole my heart. Which, as a demisexual, is completely unexpected. But he's just the exact right combination of sweet, romantic, totally geeky, and confident. He is absolutely my favorite character in this book. I like Dimple. But I adore Rishi.
I loved that both Dimple and Rishi tried to help each other achieve their dreams. I wish they'd both been a little more communicative about how they did so, but it was still cute to see them so invested in each other's life goals, as a couple should be!
This is a super cute romance, and it deserves all the rave reviews it got. I definitely need to read the sequel (about Rishi's younger brother) now.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Her Secret Ranger (The Men of At Ease Ranch, #2) in Books
May 7, 2019
This is a lovely romance book. This book has characters you just fall in love with from the first page. This is the second book in the series but it can be read as a stand alone read. The characters were very well written and worked really well within the story. The story just pulls you in from the first page, keeping you hooked till the very last one. This is a fun, sweet, romantic read. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
