Book Review: Regretting You

Regretting You by Colleen Hoover
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Not regrettable

This is one of those books where you struggle giving it stars. The ending was a 4.5, but the beginning was a 2, and most of the book was just a 3. If I could give half stars, it would be a 3.5. I rounded up for the author’s sake.

Why are the stars all over the place? Well, this is one of those stories where two people have an affair and the fiancé and wife are left living and find out about the affair and now have a child to raise. Personally, I don’t care for this plot line much and the writer didn’t make it stand out. It wasn’t funny, exciting, or anything. The beginning was mostly sad.

My biggest struggle with this book was probably the lack of answers about Jenny and Chris’ affair. We don’t really find out much of anything about it. When did it start? Where did their phones go when they died? Where were they going that they had a suitcase full of clothes? What happened to Chris’ car? What did those letters say? All these questions - 0 answers. Ugh! Frustrating!

My biggest enjoyment of the book comes at the very end with Clara and Miller. I hope they stay together forever. They’re so cute together.

Jonah and Morgan were an odd combination for me. I felt like Morgan lived a full life of denial and avoidance and only in the end of the book does she grow up and come to term with her feelings she’s always had. I like books with stronger women than her. My favorite leads are the ones who get pregnant and kick the guy they don’t love to the curb, not the ones who marry them and trudge through a life without passion.

All this to say that if you’re bored, this book will pass the time and it’s okay. Read it if you want. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Seven Day Wife

Seven Day Wife: A Fake Marriage Office Romance by Mia Faye
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The title says it all

The title describes the book exactly. Except, I’m not sure where seven day wife comes from. I thought they got fake married after seven days of knowing each other and they were fake married for longer than seven days. It was hard keeping track of time in this book.

Here’s a quick summary of the book: Cam and Yvette meet outside her apartment and hook up almost immediately. Then Cam finds out Yvette is a new employee at his company. Cam eventually lies to his boss (who has Alzheimer’s) and says he’s married to Yvette. This little lie continues as Cam tries to convince his daughter’s mother, Vicki the witch, that he wants full custody of her. This sets up for a decent book.

Overall, the book was okay. I didn’t quite click with Yvette or Cam. Cam started out fairly immature for a soon to be CEO and Yvette seemed pretty naive. Their dialogue was okay, but I didn’t find myself laughing out loud or shocked by anything that happened.

The love scenes were good, but there weren’t that many of them. I got bored with the book about 1/2 of the way in. The first part of the book flew, but then it just stopped. Feel free to give this book a try, but don’t have super high expectations for it. Happy reading y’all!

Book Review: Can I Come Over?

Can I Come Over? by Whitney G.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ll come over anytime

Christina is a romance writer who meets Dane on an app. Both use fake names and don’t know who each other are, and after 7 months of flirting and talking, they decide to meet. Christina learns her friend is actually her Dad’s best friend. Now they must choose what comes next.

I don’t give fives very often, but this was fantastic! Funny, sexy, entertaining. This had everything you want in a book. Even a sweet little epilogue to show that everyone lives happily ever after.

The sex scenes (both the real and fake ones) were amazing! Get that vibrator ready girls!

This was a short and quick read. I finished it in one night. Which made it even more amazing that I loved it so much. I also feel like I should add that I don’t normally go for books with large age differences, but these characters and the writing was so engaging, that I couldn’t stop reading it.

Give this book a try! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Catching Him

Catching Him by Aurora Rose Reynolds
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Not my catch

The best part of this book is the first chapter. Everything thereafter is just okay. I really enjoyed that first meet cute and had high hopes for this book. Unfortunately, it fell flat.

Leah and Tyler are next door neighbors who meet when Leah’s cat goes through Tyler’s window. They fall instantly in love and it’s happily ever after with a little property destruction mystery. I just saved you a few hours of reading.

There were two sex scenes. They were actually pretty good. There could have been one or two more to keep the book more interesting.

This is a series I won’t continue to read. There were some really good/funny parts, but just not enough of them. You might want to give it a try to see if this is the right book for you. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Say You Do

Say You Do by Weston Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I Do!

Yes! I do! This sweet romance will hit you in the feels. Luna and Cyrus are two people scorned by terrible previous lovers and meet to plan Cyrus’ brother’s wedding. They become friends with benefits while planning the wedding and the rest is history.

There are some spots in this book that get slow or repeat, but overall, it’s a well written and sweet romance that most people will enjoy.

What about the sex?! Hmmm...the sex scenes were okay. Most of them are in the beginning of the book and I don’t remember them extremely well, which means they weren’t amazing.

Overall, this is a very solid romance. I will probably read more by this author. I hope you give this book a try! Happy reading y’all!
