Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Unhoneymooners in Books
Jan 6, 2021
In this, Olive is chief bridesmaid at her sisters wedding. Ami has been a bit of a bridezilla but because of her love of competitions, everything has been free - more or less - at the wedding. Olive has been given a list of 50 things she has to check on the day of the wedding and one of them includes ordering a separate meal for herself (allergic to seafood) and the best man and her sworn enemy, Ethan, who has an aversion to buffet food. Turns out it's a good job she did as everyone falls ill after eating the seafood and she and Ethan end up going on the free honeymoon together. Once there, as they spend more time together, they realise that the other isn't as bad as they seem and they actually grow to like each other.
Hmm... I did like this but I wasn't fully into this. I didn't get butterflies reading of them falling in love. I wasn't sucked in to their love/hate relationship - it was a bit too tame for me in that regard. I think I snorted a handful of times at the things they said to each other or the situations they found themselves in while on the island of Maui but there's something I can't put my finger on. I was a little underwhelmed by the story.
One thing I was very gung ho about once the first little fibres started unravelling: Dane. There was just something about him. I'll let you figure out what when you read this.

Season 3 also had the arrival of the character i want to be when i grow old the Queen of thorns herself Olenna Tyrell Not only is this character a major hard ass power player she is played by the amazing and wonderful Diana Rigg who brings this character to life. Her sharp toungue and wit is great and lets face it you don't live that long in game of thrones without knowing how to play the game well.
As every other season Both Ayra character development is well written and great to follow and Tyrion is still the master of all.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2652 KP) rated A Deadly Éclair (A French Bistro Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
It’s fun to find a series set in Napa County that doesn’t focus on wine, although wine is certainly present. The French food will definitely leave your mouth watering as you work your way through this good first mystery. The initial chapter has a bit of a data dump in it, but once beyond that, the mystery picks up and the pace never slows down again. The characters are outstanding, and the relationships between the series regulars is already strong. I’m looking forward to seeing that grow as the series progresses.
NOTE: I received an ARC of this book.
