“She believed in medicine and miracles”
What a delightful book. 
I really enjoyed this one. I particularly enjoyed the characters in their older years. It was a pleasure to read(listen to) their interactions at the retirement home. 
And oh the yearning for 62 years…

Saw this on book twitter and decided to try it out. Finished it in one day so that should tell you something. If you’re looking for a nice little palate cleanser, look no further

I liked the book and I enjoy Kristina Forest’s writing. I now rate romance books on whether I see the couple making it long term. Now I believe in Xavier and Violet’s love so much, you can tell they love each other but I don’t think they’ll stay together long term. I don’t feel as though their issues were properly resolved.

Oh what a lovely little Christmas book. I too would like to be accidentally booked in the same room with a billionaire. It was short, sweet and spicy. I read it in a sitting. I’ll read snow king catches his snowflake my queen writes. Unto Eve and Winter’s story.

. I’m so glad he didn’t cheat because I would have thrown my kindle across the room. The fact that Amina didn’t know this before they began their litttle rendezvous made me so stressed, like girl you thought he cheated?!!! 
Anyways JL Seegars is my queen. She writes so beautifully. The stories just stress me out a bit 😩
