It’s not anywhere near christmas, but we signed up to do a christmas books reading challenge that we all apparently forgot about. Lol. So, here are a few quickie reviews of a few that I’ve read.
The So-So:
The Boss’s Christmas Seduction (New Zealand Knights #1) by Yvonne Lindsay Rating:
These people both could’ve benefited from some therapy. I don’t really know what else to say. What kind of mother just signs away her parental rights at the drop of a hat? A bad one. And he wasn’t much better, I’d say he probably has some left over glitches from his ex-wife.
They were not fleshy characters, but they were not stereotypical or lacking in depth either. And I did buy this book if that says anything at all. Character growth did come a little late in the book, but I’m a sucker for a well written HEA.
The Amazing:
A Wallflower Christmas (Wallflower #5) by Lisa Kleypas Rating:
The Wallflowers are four young ladies in London who banded together in their wild and wickedly wonderful searches for true love. Now happily married, they join together once again to help one of the world’s most notorious rogues realize that happiness might be right under the mistletoe…
First off, it’s a wonderful historical romance series and this short(other books in this series have 300+ pages) just ties the whole thing together.
Rafe starts off as the usual douchebaggy rake and by the end he’s one of my favorite characters. He was all empty-headed charm at first and then he revealed such depth and warmth of character. Hannah was a lovely, well written character from the very first… I felt like I wanted to be friends with her. Her cousin Natalie on the other hand, I haven’t a single nice thing to say about her. Conceited, spoiled, and bratty are probably Natalie’s best character traits. All in all when it ended I felt as though I had lost a friend.
I had forgotten about this read-a-thon too until I saw people posting their kick off posts in my rss feed reader! I am glad that you really liked one of your books for this read-a-thon. It seems that most of the books that I read were so-so. Great job on getting so much read with the shortness of the read-a-thon!
