Best kind of accident, I suppose.

June 3, 2015 by NTE 1 Comment

The aptly titled Accidentally In Love, is a contemporary romance set somewhere in the middle of author Laura Drewry’s Friends First series.  Since I got my copy from NetGalley, I wasn’t aware I was jumping in in the middle of a series, but it’s pretty easy to tell that the pre-paired couples’ stories must have already been told in the previous books.  You don’t need to know them to appreciate Ellie and Brett’s story, but some people (me) like to start at the beginning, so […]

These are the kind of lines that need blurring

June 2, 2015 by NTE Leave a Comment

One of my favorite romance novel tropes is friends to lovers. Best friends to lovers? Even better.  But one of the things I hate about that trope is when a book starts off with all that “We’re proof that men and women can just be friends, contrary to what everyone in our lives keeps saying” nonsense.  If there are still people in the world who don’t believe that men and women can be in platonic relationships, I do not want to spend time with them […]

As usual, Amazon sucks me in with that free book

May 6, 2015 by NTE 1 Comment

This review contains spoilers for books in the Sweetest Kiss Series – Just FYI.   After my Grace Burrowes review, I wandered through her Amazon page a little bit, and happened to see a free novella, and downloaded it to my Kindle.  That book, A Kiss For Luck, was short, and sweet, and had unusual enough characters that I was interested in the following trilogy of books, and downloaded them once I finished it.  The characters in the novella are tangentially related to the main […]
