After a disappointing February, I seem to have found my reading groove again. I finished three books during the month of March.
I remember reading another Dina Silver book ("One Pink Line") a while ago. I remembered that I really liked her characters and her writing style, so I picked this one up. It's a spin-off of the first one I read, so it was fun to be reacquainted with the characters again. This story was very dramatic and had a lot of ups and downs. Chloe and Tyler's chemistry was intense from the start but seemed to fizzle. Chloe became a little annoying and Tyler became completely unlikable. Cam, Chloe's loyal best friend (who definitely had a thing for her while she continued pining for Tyler), was probably my favorite character. I wouldn't mind another story about him.
Lexi Ryan is a runaway bride after discovering her twin is pregnant with her fiance's baby ... on her wedding day. She escapes to Jackson Harbor, where she finds a new beginning and a job as a nanny for the daughter of a widowed doctor. She quickly becomes enveloped in his family ... until her past and the secrets she's kept from him come crashing into her new world. I loved meeting the Jackson family and can't wait to read the next one in the series.
I powered through this one to try and figure out why Sawyer left town when he and Reena were teenagers. I never really got that answered fully. And I could not figure out why Reena was so hung up on him. Sure, he was charming, but he was flaky, unmotivated, and a bit narcissistic. I still gave it three stars because I thought the writing was good and I would read another book by this author.
I already have a good jump on my April reads with a book that incorporates two of my favorite things -- suspense and steamy romance. Hopefully that keeps my reading mojo going in the right direction.
Great job on getting three reads in! I haven't read any of these, so thanks for sharing. :)

The Wrong Kind of Love sounds super cute. and the book you're reading now that incorporates suspense and steamy romance sounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteI think we all lose our reading groove now and then but I'm glad you found yours again.
ReplyDeleteI meant to mention a baseball/love book to you, and now I can't remember the title.
ReplyDeleteThe Wrong Kind of Love sounds really dramatic -- I bet I would love it.
