Thanks to Netgalley and Kensington Books for the opportunity to read this e-ARC in return for my honest review. A collection of 3 novels from 3 different authors, I‘ve enjoyed the last one best. It‘s historical romance but the first 2 weren‘t as real and somehow didn‘t sound historical. All 3 were well written but the last one by Kristen was the most appealing to me. Good plots, nice vibes with similar epilogues, it‘s an entertaining light read.

I‘m surprised I actually enjoyed this book a lot! I was initially reluctant as it‘s wordy and kinda slow. Surprisingly I‘ve enjoyed every single word, reading it slowly, devouring every adventure until the end. Even when I was tempted to flip to the end but I managed to preserve and enjoy every single page. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks to Netgalley, I‘ve managed to read a refreshing historical romance! This one was adventurous, unlike the usual damsel in distress kind! Entertaining enough though at times it‘s kinda lengthy during the individual point of view, argh just get on with it and stop thinking too much! 😂😂😂

A dark novel which had my flipping, reading just to find out the ending. Truly enthralling, the outcome was somewhat a cliff hanger 😅

My first Tessa Dare and I‘ve enjoyed it! I liked the little humour she has plotted in though some not as smoothly done. Overall it was entertaining!

So glad to be given this opportunity to review this awesome book! I can‘t wait to dig out my long forgotten stash to practise embroidery 😘 Thanks to Netgalley for this!

Such a delightful read! The only downside for me was the Scottish slang 😅 Thoroughly enjoyed it 😘

I‘ve received this ARC from Netgalley in return for my honest review. My first Diane Chamberlain and it turned out to be fantastic! It‘s such an awesome and enthralling read, had me so engaged that I was so tempted to flip to the end 😬 Well written with intriguing plots, I‘m truly surprised by the ending! That was not expected at all 😅

A feel good read filled with lots of doubts and assumptions which ended beautifully ❤️

Averagely entertaining but I do find her prose to be long winded.

Based on beauty and the beast, this is a wonderful remake. With a different remedy and feel good factor, definitely a fast and easy read! Kept me on my toes with awesome plots.

12 interesting short stories, entertaining and enthralling for some. Easy to read, can finished it in a couple of days for me!

It was beautifully written but I totally did not expect it to turn into a disgusting monster! Truly a disturbing kid with such sickening mindset! I was so appalled at the end 🤮🤮🤮

I was confused and not quite understand the story at times. Well written but not a good read for me. Surprised it‘s Atwood‘s first novel, written in 1969! The plots here are way ahead of time! She definitely can see the future!

I didn‘t expect I would truly enjoyed this book but I did 😘 Written in an easy to understand yet sing song prose, it seemed a little hard to grasp at times but overall a lovely read!

The first half was a tad dull for me but I‘ve enjoyed the second half a lot

Standard HEA feel good love story 😘 Not forgetting the lady has to give in to the guy in the end... as always although there‘s a twist before reaching that decision 🤔

By page 200 odd, I roughly knew who‘s the killer! Truly an entertaining book and the way it was revealed, so anxious yet exciting! I‘m surprised this is a good Marple read!

Not a favourite of AC but doable. Quite confusing especially when Poirot was trying to decipher his thoughts to conclude the mystery. In the end, it‘s an unexpected outcome 😅

This is a confusing one and in the revelation was like ‘oh‘ 😂 Nineteen twenty my plates empty

I just can‘t comprehend that ending! Such an intriguing read but ended on a sad note. Of course all good things must come to an end. An honourable one at that.

Totally an enjoyable read which I‘ve finished in 1 sitting! It‘s unique fantasy made it an intriguing one with worthy and relatable plots!

Quite entertaining but somehow I‘ve guessed who did it midway through the book 😂

A lovely read which I‘ve truly enjoyed. Definitely way better than the hen one!

Finally finished this book after abandoning it midway. Definitely not my sort of reads with it‘s British prose and politics. Luckily the good ending makes up for the overall book.

Loved the poetic prose with detailed clarity! A truly emotional read! A talented author indeed.

A unique fairy tale, transported from hot to cold weather with great plots taking us on an unforgettable journey. Just felt the ending a little underwhelmed, wished it was more adventurous.

A messy prose but an enthralling plot nonetheless. It sure kept me intrigued, wanting to know who did it! A fast read as I‘ve finished it in a day!

I‘ve totally enjoyed this book! When the pace picked up, it kept me on tether hook, wanting to know if my assumed ending was right 😂

An easy read with some enthralling moments. Interesting how the investigation is incorporated into recipes. This book does resemble Agatha Christie‘s Miss Marple.

I‘ve enjoyed the twisted plot and how Miss Marple was introduced into the book by the narrator. Expect the unexpected and yet the answer was just right there!

A light and easy Christmas read 😍

It sure feels like a Diva channel kinda romance story

Though not as smooth at times and a little predictable, it did end nicely. An entertaining read with lots of sizzling hot plots 😘

Beautifully written, such a sweet, perfect love story ❤️

Well written and well expressed, unexpectedly, by a teenager. Thoroughly an enjoying yet harrowing read.

Well written and plotted with much twist that made the book engaging. It was predictable towards the end but intriguing nevertheless! I felt that this was much better than Murder on the Orient Express

An entertaining and easy read with the clueless Becky nonetheless! Just can‘t fathom Minnie as I kept thinking of my diva dog of the same name 😂😂😂

A book with so much details, thorough analysis of being just black and privileged white. So much thought process has been gone into this worthy and entertaining read. I‘ve become more aware of me, my bias thoughts and our upbringing. Bravo to Jodi for writing this awesome book!

Easy read, straightforward about life. Seagulls as the epiphany of life itself. The perseverance and hard work are the key to a better livelihood .

Loved the ending which was melancholy yet meaningful. An awesome read which was fast paced with a twist of random fate.

This second book drops a slight notch from the first. Still as fast paced but the plots were more predictable. Hopefully the last book ends with a bang!

So much nostalgia looking back at Malaya then. Well rounded book with beautiful prose, such an easy read though it‘s filled with so much gists! Learnt so much more especially gardening, tattoo, tea and even birds nest 😂 Overall one of my favourite reads!

A fast paced easy read yet unputdownable for me! I‘ve enjoyed the magical story albeit a light one! I just wished it was a little longer to savour the victory 👍🏻

Finally having finished this dramatic book! So much so that it reminded me of a BBC kinda movie 😂 Dad has anxiety attack. Mom has an affair. Brother is gay. Sister is getting married. All in all an entertaining book of a middle class British family.

It started slow with on and off adventure; with a mild progress until when it reached towards the end then the pace picked up. The smoke took an interesting turn at the end.

That mushy warmth feeling when I‘ve finished reading this lovely book! JM sure is a wonderful author, simple and easy prose made it all great!

Such a sad epic love story, left me feeling melancholy! Can‘t express more, just sad. Now I know why the persistent back and forth with either Henry or Clare‘s views.

Of acknowledging own weaknesses, overcoming it and live with mindfulness

An intense and harrowing read. Truly applaud Alice for her bravery and optimism, baring all for everyone to read! Such a well written book with an eye opening exposure.
