Love at First book by Jenn McKinley review


Title: Love at First Book


Author: Jenn McKinley


Ch: 23 plus epilogue


Pg: 09:49:02


Genre: Rom Com


Rating: 4 stars


Publisher: Berkley

I loved this hate to love rom com. Emily and Kieran were perfect for each other even if they don’t see it. But it’s the banter between them the keeps the reader turning pages.

Though I listened to the audio book instead of reading. As the audio adds charm t Kieran’s Irish accent and not to mention proper pronunciation of the Irish names.

Now this isn’t just a cute rom com it does deal with some tough issues. There’s a trigger warning for cancer, and difficult parent adult child relationship but the author handles it all respectfully.

 

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

Summer Reading by Jenn McKinlay Review


Title: Summer Reading


Author: Jenn McKinlay


Ch: 29


Pg: 435

Genre: Rom Com


Rating: 3.5 stars


Publisher: Berkeley

I’ve found Jenn McKinlays rom coms to be hit or Miss for me. This one was a hit. I was thrilled that for once the book worm in the story was the hero. Hey if a guy wants to read me a book I’d be all for it. And I enjoyed that the heroine was dyslexic. And this dyslexic reading was fond of the dyslexic friendly font that the physical book was printed in. This is also a rom com with few steamy scenes on the page.

Favorite Books of 2013

Finally and Forever (Katie Weldon Series) 5 stars This book because it is a reminder of my teen years. I first discovered Katie when I read the Christy Miller series. But Katie was always a favorite of mine because I could relate to her more. I was thrilled when she got her own series. Finally and Forever wraps up the series pretty good but leaves it open for another book if the author wanted.

Stealing the Preacher: Karen Witemeyer: 9780764209666: Amazon.com: Books  Just a cute Historical fiction read by one of my favorite Christian Historical fiction author.

The Fairest Beauty by Melanie Dickerson, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0310724392/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_alp_wI8Zqb1YTN4HP 5 stars A Sweet retelling of Snow White that I loved. I liked the retelling better than the original fairy tale.

Amazon.com: The Rules for Disappearing (Rules, The) (9781423168973): Ashley Elston: Books A cute teen read

Undeniably Yours (A Porter Family, #1)A Sweet Christian romance in which the hero is a cowboy and a Marine

Mary, Anna, and Elizabeth in The Women of Christmas by Liz Curtis Higgs A nonfiction that focus on the three woman of Christmas Mary, Elizabeth, and Anna
Amazon.com: Merry and Bright eBook: Erynn Mangum: BooksA sweet Christmas novella.


Paige Torn Paige Rewritten: A Paige Alder Novel The first two books in the Paige Alder series by my favorite Christian Chick lit author. These books will have you laughing and crying along with the characters. If your like me it will make you want to pick up your Bible as soon as you put the book down for the night.

Loves Awakening by Laura Frantz The second book in the Ballantyne legacy. It was an emotional read  that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. But not as emotional as the first book.  Silas will always be my favorite hero that Laura has written but Jack is a close second. 

Amber Stokes upcoming knovel Bleeding Hearts can't wait for it  another emotional historical fiction read, that kept me on the edge of my seat. But so good. Another book that makes you think. I cannot wait to read the prequel and the sequel. Amber has quickly become a favorite author of mine after only one book.
Read It and Weep (A Library Lovers Mystery) by Jenn McKinlay, 11-5-13 A sweet cozy mystery starring a Librarian and a sweet dog.
The Longest Ride: Nicholas Sparks: 9781455520657: Amazon.com: Books  The newest Nicholas Sparks book that has two different romances in it. Young and old.

Review of Books can be deceiving


Books Can Be Deceiving (A Library Lover's Mystery)Title: Books Can be Deceiving

Author: Jenn McKinlay

Series: A Library Lover’s Mystery
 
Chapters: 27

Pages: 291

Genre: Cozy Mystery

Rating: 4 stars

     A nice cozy mystery, with a few cuss words. I enjoyed the fact that many of the scenes were in a library.  The fact that the main character is a librarian with her children’s librarian side kick was a neat twist.
