No Ex Before Marriage by Portia MacIntosh

This is just the kind of book that one should pick up on a lazy afternoon. The writing, the characters and the eventual turn of the story are all enjoyable.Poppy was the first of her friends to get married. She was part of a close-knit gang of four. The rest of them are married now,…

Villa of Second Chances by Jennifer Bohnet

This is a slightly different book in this genre. The average age of all the characters is slightly higher than the cover might signify. This does not mean that it changes much of the 'feel' of the book. There are two separate sets of characters in the story; one consists of a pair of sisters…

Sunny by Sukh Ojla

There was something entirely enjoyable about this book. The point of view is not one I am familiar with or at least the few I have had the opportunity to read did not agree with me. This was not the case here. If anything, I would say only the incessant reference to her own physical…

Despite its length, I found myself feeling like I got a whole book worth of romance.We have two lead characters who have alternating chapters to voice their…

The Bright Side Running Club by Josie Lloyd

The author draws inspiration and information from her own trials with Breast Cancer to write this book. This statement could have been left unsaid but still been understood. The sheer confusion and emotions that overwhelm Kiera when given her diagnosis are very stark.Kiera is a happy mother with a close-knit social circle and a job…

Laura Lake and the Hipster Weddings (Laura Lake #1) Wendy Holden

This is another book I picked up at the library when I was in a hurry. I liked the look of the book and brought it home. It was not a book that I enjoyed particularly.The book has its moments, and the writing was quite good, which is why I expected more from it. I…
