Rowena: This week, I finished A Summer Like No Other by Elodie and there were things that bugged me about the book. The secrets, the attitude and the page count. I wasn’t aware that this was a novella when I first requested it from Netgalley so it was a bummer that the short story built and then just ended with a “read the next books to find out what happens” ending so that was a disappointing read for me. After that one though, I read The Boy Most Likely To by Huntley Fitzpatrick and I enjoyed this book so much more.
Tim was a freaking mess up dreamboat. Alice was a fantastic heroine and their story was just fabulous. Angsty but with heart. Tim’s journey and Alice’s stresses made for an interesting story and as characters, I fell in love with both of them. I loved this book just as much as I loved the first book in the series so it was a total win of a read for me.
I’m starting When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare today and I’m super duper excited about it. I just know that I’m going to love it.
Holly: I can’t believe it’s already August 7th. How did that even happen? I did a binge-read of old Linda Howard favorites this week. Tears of the Renegade, Mackenzie’s Mission, Mackenzie’s Mountain, The Cutting Edge, Heartbreaker, Against the Rules, Kill and Tell and White Lies. I read Mackenzie’s Magic last night and now I’m reading Mackenzie’s Pleasure. I love LH’s older stuff. Some of it was kind of dated now, but most of them held up well.
I also read Falling Under by Lauren Dane, book two in the Ink and Chrome series. It was really good. I adore Dane’s heroines.
What are you reading this week? Anything good? Bad? Share!
