Practice Makes Perfect book review

 

I have been working my way through Sarah Adams backlist and this is my first 5 star from her (though I have had some that have come close). I am so happy to have now had a 5 star read from Sarah Adams and look forward to hopefully having another from her soon. 


Practice Makes Perfect follows Annie, Noah from When in Rome’s youngest sister, and Will, Amelia’s bodyguard. Will who just wants to stay away from Annie ends up agreeing to help Annie improve her love life and go on practice dates with her as her dating coach. 


This was another Sarah Adams book that I couldn’t help but binge reading about 200 pages in one sitting. I had such a good time being back in Rome and following characters who I had previously met in When in Rome but wanted to learn more about. It wasn’t just Will and Annie who we learned more about in this book. I felt that we also got to learn more about the other members of the town with strong personalities like Mabel and many others whose names have gone out of my head just now. I also have a feeling that as the series goes on this will continue which excites me. 


The small town of Rome is one of my favourite things about this series with all of the characters who can’t mind their own business and while that does cause issues in this book (in a justified way) I still want to see more of these characters. Assuming we get four books, one for each Walker sibling, I have predictions and hopes about what we will see as the series goes on. 


I loved learning more about Annie in this book and while I have a feeling that I will connect more to one of the other sisters there were parts of Annie that really resonated to me and while we did learn about Annie in When in Rome it now feels like we only brushed the surface and digging deeper into her was great. We didn’t learn more about Noah as a character, but that is to be expected after following him in his own book, however we did learn more about Emily and Madison which I loved and it makes me so excited to read their books. There was one scene where everything came out with Annie to her sisters and their reactions made me so happy. 


Will was a great character and book boyfriend. The way he treated Annie and was there for her and brought her out of her shell and made me so happy to see. He didn’t force her to do anything but what he did say and do was great to see, and the wider impact it had on Annie was such a good thing to see. His reaction to romance books was also something that as a romance reader I was so happy to see, especially when we had it compared to some other characters directly in this book. 


I am so happy that this was a 5 star read and that this is a series that is continuing to just get better. Sarah Adams is proving herself to be a favourite romance author of mine along with being a comfort author I want to have on my shelves. After working through this review too, it has proved itself to be a true 5 star read I love.

The Match book review

  Back in April I was recommended my first Sarah Adams book and really enjoyed it however it wasn’t my favourite type of romance book so when I saw this one had been rereleased and was 99p on Kindle I knew that I needed to read it.  The Match follows Evie who works for a company that trains service dogs to help people with all sorts of disabilities after her life was changed when she got a service dog to help with her epilepsy and when she meets Jacob when trying to convince him how much a service dog would help his daughter she begins to fall for him and his small family.  This was such a light brilliant romance that I just wanted to read and continue to be immersed in the story for as long as I could. I loved all of our major characters particularly Evie, Jacob and Sam (Jacob's daughter). Sam just added the best things to the story and the romance going on between Evie and Jacob. She was also a brilliant character on her own that you really felt for and you just underst...

Daughter of the Pirate King book review

  I was expecting to enjoy this book but nowhere near as much as I did and I really wished I could have given it five stars but it was just slightly off of the mark.  Daughter of the Pirate King is the first book in a duology which follows Alosa who is the well-trained seventeen year old pirate daughter of the Pirate King himself, on a mission to find part of an ancient secret map on an enemy pirates ship.  This is possibly the first pirate fantasy I’ve ever read, but I loved it and need to read more because there were so many fantastic elements in it that I want to read more. I also now want to read all of Tricia Levenseller’s backlist because of how stunning this book was and I want to see more of it continued in her other books, also the UK covers are absolutely stunning and I really want to own them all! There were twists in this book I was not expecting, characters I fell in love with and moments that made me really laugh.  Alosa knew what she wanted and how to ...

The Eternal Ones book review

  I may be posting this a month after I promised I would on my bookstagram but better late than never. If you want to see more of my immediate thoughts on this conclusion to a series I have been reading for years my booksta post is here .  The Eternal Ones is the final book in the YA fantasy Deathless series by Namina Forna which follows Deka as she discovers more about the world and who she is. We follow on quickly after The Merciless Ones ended with no major plot points happening in between. As with the previous two books, there are many content warnings that come with the story, it doesn’t have any new strong ones so if you have read and been fine with the previous two you should be fine but if you are new to the series then I would recommend checking them out.  Throughout the books we continue to follow Deka’s POV which works really well for the story as we discover so much and being in Deka’s head means we are kept in the know nd see how things and discoveries unrav...
