Machine, 5 stars

audiobook 

Well, that was not at all what I expected! The depth of the emotions by the characters, their forthrightness, the honesty that they display, you couldn’t help but like them. Their story isn’t an expected one, but they made it work for them in a way that made them happy 😊



Bishop's Desire, 5 stars

audiobook

These two couldn’t appear more opposite if they tried! But deep down, they fell for each other, and those differences tended to flip-flop as time went on. Eduardo had reactions that weren’t expected, while Chloe kept her calm and carried on as needed. A great story with a great couple!




Ivy's Mountain Man, 3 stars

audiobook


I was completely enjoying how this was progressing, and then it ruined it all in the last 20%. Ivy and Rus’ reactions to certain events made absolutely no sense and were a bit over the top. The third act break-ups were contrived and unnecessary, and, promoting toxic parenting made no sense. I’m glad the couple worked it out, but, for me, certain plot points made no sense



Taming Lucinda, 3 stars

audiobook

Was Lucinda completely redeemed? No, but, we got to see the human side of her, and some growth from her children. This was hard, because while redeeming her, we saw a bad side to the characters we already knew and loved. I don’t think we needed her story, the resolution wasn’t really that satisfying, and while we saw the flip-side of situations, it didn’t fix anything
