Part-Time Princess (Ladies in Waiting #1) - Pamela Dumond

Part-time Princess by Pamela DuMond

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I really enjoyed this book!  It's a "feel-good" book and brings you back to the days you imagined anything was possible even fairy tales.  I love how this book is for adults, I figured it would be more juvenile but the main character is a waitress at a bar who is hired to impersonate someone famous in another country.  I loved Lucy and her ladies-in-waiting, they all had such unique and loud personalities and they were fun.  Their friendship was completely believable, I know my friends would have my back like that in a second.  I also giggled like a school girl at the ending... I love how close the girls were and it was totally fluffy and make believe but in a believable way, if that's a possibility?

But really good I'm anxious to see what the other ladies in waiting books will entail, if they will be about a different girl or Lucy... I would love to learn more about Esmeralda as she was HILARIOUS.  :)

I did get this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

The Five Stages of Falling in Love by Rachel Higginson

The Five Stages of Falling in Love by Rachel Higginson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book tore me to pieces, I got so incredibly emotional reading this.  My heart broke for Liz, my heart broke for Ben.  My heart broke for the kids.  It was definitely real and raw, it's an emotional ride.  I will say that Rachel Higginson put my heart back together in a way that was acceptable but this book was so unique to anything I've read that I just really enjoyed it.  My first read by her and I'll definitely be looking into more... My only wish was that this book had been longer.  I wanted more towards the end, I wont spoil it but I definitely would have liked an extra chapter or three towards the end.

The Mason List - S.D. Hendrickson

The Mason List by S.D. Hendrickson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Revised:

This book gave me so many feelings!

Absolutely beautiful coming of age story.  These are quickly becoming a new favorite for me and this story does not disappoint.  Jessup Mason is an amazing book boyfriend and the story is told with such beauty, depth, rawness, and emotion that you really feel a strong connection to the characters (Alex & Jess).  The story ties together in an artistically beautiful way.  I shed some tears, I held my breath, I laughed.  I love how real this book feels, it's easy to connect to Sprayberry and the Mason's.  100% recommend this book!  Great read!...

Dorianna - Catherine Stine

Dorianna by Catherine Stine

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Received from NetGalley for an honest review...

I read this book fairly fast, I found myself skimming parts.  The story flows really well and the writing is excellent.  I found the "powers" confusing.  I do understand the book is supposed to be superficial and show how far one will go for popularity and fame.  I was pretty excited to read this especially being a YA Dorian Gray.  I was turned off by most of the characters and did not feel a connection to Dorianna at all.  (I liked Bailey!)  I think this book WILL strongly appeal to teenagers especially with social media and popularity being the theme, which is the YA market.  Personally, for adults who read YA I did not feel this was for me even a little bit.  I would still recommend others read it and decide for themselves and I would really recommend this for the YA genre it is marketed for.  I could easily picture my friends siblings reading this.

Rules of Survival - Jus Accardo

Rules of Survival by Jus Accardo

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I enjoyed this book.  The content was light and it was a fun and fast read.  The chemistry between the main characters was cute, I enjoyed the twists as they came.  I thought the concept of bounty hunter and girl on the run for murder being shackled together was unique and Jus Accardo is a great storyteller so the story flowed really well and tied up nicely in the end!

Up For Grabs - Heather Young Nichols

Up For Grabs by Heather Young-Nichols

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This was a quick read, in fact I started it and didn't put it down until I was finished (2 AM)... If you are looking for a fairly happy book with a dreamy, swoon worthy, perfect guy then this is the book for you.  Flannery was a really fun heroine with quick wit and a smart mouth.  I expected more drama from reading the blurb but this is a fairly happy feel-good book.  I really enjoyed spending a few hours with Cain and Flannery.  The secondary characters were really well developed and you couldn't help but want to be a part of their inner circle.

The Traveling Man - Jane Harvey-Berrick

The Traveling Man by Jane Harvey-Berrick

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Wow, this book was incredible.  I don't even know what to do with my life while I wait for the next book... The carnival world that Jane Harvey-Berrick built was absolutely mesmerizing and magical.  I fell in love with Aimee and Kes when they were only 10.  This book is really well written and will draw you in from the beginning.  I felt so many emotions reading this.
