Unfortunately, I didn’t have any good reads last month; instead, I had back-to-back disappointments: The Choice by Nora Roberts and The Reluctant Countess by Eloisa James. Nora Roberts book just dragged and was too similar to all her other futuristic novels. I’ve said this before, but how many more times is she going to write the heroine’s mother as uncaring. She repeats this theme in almost every story.
I read 11 books in December. My favorite was Cate C. Wells’s THE LONE WOLF’S REJECTED MATE. It was so good, it made my Favorites of 2022 list!
Some December favorites include Ocean’s Echo by Everina Maxwell, The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen, and a reread of Linesman by SK Dunstall.
Least favorites I simply put aside unfinished.
worst book and writing: The Thrill of It by Lauren Blakely
Dead Ground by Justin Warren was interesting
December was super busy so didn’t read too many books, the few I read came off my TBR pile. I didn’t have a least favorite but my absolute favorite was Robin Bielman’s Talk British To Me, Matteo is such a swoony book boyfriend!
