Rambling Writer and Reader

Författare: Simona Ahrnstedt Titel: Bara lite till Förlag: Bokförlaget Forum Genre: Romance Länkar:  Bokus  |  Adlibris  |  Goodreads Simona Ahrnstedt är och förblir drottningen av svensk romance. Det är liksom inget att fundera på. Även om hon stadigt får konkurrenter (som min personliga favorit Heléne Holmström). Med det sagt föll denna småstadsromance lite platt för mig. Låt mig förklara: Stella är en storstadskvinna som nyss blivit dumpad, hemlös och arbetslös. Hon är inte riktigt på humör, kan man säga och tar sitt pick och pack (alltså, typ två klädesplagg och sin älskade handväska och ett par sjukt snygga, men opraktiska skor) och drar till Laholm, där hennes morföräldrars stuga väntar på henne. Hon har inte varit där på sisådär tjugo år, men det kvittar, för det är bara ett pitstop innan den verkliga drömmen om designskola i New York tar fasta. Fast det kan ju förklara varför den nätta, mysiga stugan i hennes rosenskimrande minnen mest liknar ett...

Author: Annika Martin Title: Most Eligible Billionaire Publisher: (Unsure about the audiobook) Published: 2017 Genre: Contemporary romance Links:  Bokus  /  Amazon  /  Goodreads My first read by Annika Martin was The Billionaire's Wake-up-call Girl (that's really a mouthful). I loved the dynamic between the characters, the Alpha billionaire, the fun, the passion, the heat. It's the same with this one. Let me tell you, Martin is fun and knows how to write dirty talk. She also knows how to write a douchy dick hero and still make us love him. Because gah, how much of a douche Henry was in the beginning, like, I wanted to kick his balls in so bad. But then, oh, then. *le sigh* Redemption. But let's rewind: Vicky is a true star in this book - she's smart, fierce, loyal and always tries to do the right thing. Raising her teenage sister by herself isn't all fun and roses, but she does it splendidly. But she went through a traumatizing event in her own...

Author: Tessa Bailey Title:  Fix Her Up Series: Hot & Hammered #1 Publisher: Avon Published: 2019 Genre: Contemporary romance Links:  Book Depository  /  Bokus  /  Adlibris  /  Goodreads Okay, where to start with this one. Hm... Let's start with what I liked. I loved Georgie and at moments I also liked Travis, especially when he defended her. I did not see the complete point with the "fix up", but I felt like it was made for her sake and not anyone else (no matter how much she wanted Travis to  see  her) so that's a good thing. I  love  her being a clown, of all things. I don't think I've ever read about clowns in romance before..? It awesome, in any case! The love Georgie has for her family is also lovely to read, even though I hated Stephen (Steven? Damn audiobooks), because he was frankly a misogynist dick. (Who the hell comes to fetch his wife just because she wasn't home when he came out of the shower? Really?...

Author: Christina Lauren Title:  The Unhoneymooners Publisher: Gallery books Published: 2019 Genre: Contemporary romance Links:  Book Depository  /  Bokus  /  Goodreads So, the biggest question is, why am I not reading Christina Lauren books all the time? I've read four of them so far and with the exception of My Favorite Half-Night Stand (which I only liked), I loved them so much and had such a great time reading them. So why do I hesitate before I pick up the next one? Maybe I scared of it not being great, who knows. Anyway, we're all here for my awesome reactions to books I've read, so you're going to get one! It's a really wacky idea, isn't it? Writing about two people who hate each other, going on a honeymoon because the entire wedding except them became vomiting wrecks. But it works. I read in a review that Olive and Ethan reminds them om Hazel and Josh. And I see the point, but I don't see the issue. I loved Hazel and Josh, so why wouldn'...

Author: Helena Hunting Title: Meet Cute Publisher: Forever Published: 2019 Genre: Contemporary romance Links:  Book Depository  /  Bokus  /  Goodreads Oh, how I've missed reading romance. It's been a lot of fantasy and sci-fi for me lately, so now I felt like a pure romantic book. And I must say I choose good. This was a breeze to read, even if it made my heart squeeze multiple times. Dax loses his parents and gets custody of his 13-year old sister. Kailyn is the lawyer responsible for the sister’s trust and becomes conservator for her, as well, when their aunt sues for custody. It’s just that Kailyn and Dax had a thing for each other in college and did not end on the best of terms. And starting anything now isn’t exactly the ideal situation. What I liked about this book was the characters, I guess. The relationships between them and the way they handled the situations they were put in. Emme is probably the one a rooted most for, because she was a swe...
