Snowed Under book review

 

This is a book that I wish I had read sooner, I could not put it down at all. It was such a fun romance book that was super escapeable and had characters I quickly fell in love with. 


Snowed Under follows Madeline who since losing her brother and taking in his two kids feels like she has lost who she is and Cooper who agrees to be interviewed by a family magazine to bring attention to his families ski-lodge but is missing a wife and kids. For Madeline whose Mum keeps nagging her to get a boyfriend and Cooper who needs a fake family they both have what the other needs but they find there is more to both of their stories and gradually their fake relationship blurs into something real. 


As I already mentioned I could not put this book down, I wanted to see how Madeline and Cooper’s relationship would develop and just spend time with these characters who I was really starting to love. 


These characters were so great to follow, Madeline and Cooper were really interesting and I wanted to learn more about them from early on. They both had so much to their stories that made them people that I wanted to support and the best for instead of more challenges, they had been through so much and just deserved happiness along with feeling like they were the perfect character for each other.
Charlie and Piper were so much fun to follow too. They both added so much to the story and at times made me both smile so much and feel really worried about them. It was really interesting to see Cooper and Charlie’s relationship develop throughout the book. I really liked seeing how Cooper was there for Charlie no matter what happened with Madeline and their relationship was just really special to read about. Piper made me smile so much and was a great character that I wanted to see as much of as possible.
The side characters were also really well-developed and interesting to learn more about. I loved spending time with Cooper’s mum, Lora, and I cannot wait to go back and read Olive and Finn’s book. 


The romance was one with complexities but it was also one that I supported from early on. I wanted to spend as many scenes as I could with Madeline and Cooper, and with the kids too. I smiled so much while reading and just wanted to keep reading as much as I could. I would have been happy if the book had never ended. Instead I got through this book so quickly and had a great time doing so. 


I will definitely keep reading more Juliana Smith as the year goes on because I had a fantastic time with this one and can see myself giving her a five star rating with a book in the future. This is a book that I will definitely be recommending and am so glad that I finally got around to reading. 


Thank you to Netgalley and Juliana Smith for a free e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

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 ...

Rhubarb Lemonade book review

  Rhubarb Lemonade was originally published in Swedish in 2019 but has recently been translated to English by A. A. Prime and is due for UK publication on the 8th of June 2023. This book follows Vonya who is spending the summer with her Grandfather on the small Swedish island where he lives. She plans on fixing an old boat and making it seaworthy with some help from her Grandfather, and then she meets Ruth, who’s her age and keeps appearing where she’s keeping the boat, but they don’t seem to have anything more in common. This is a contemporary book and I would probably say it’s more YA than Middle Grade due to some of the language used at certain points in the book.  Rhubarb Lemonade is written from Vonya’s perspective, so you hear all of her thoughts on things but it also helps as there are sometimes it moves around the timeline so it isn’t a massive jump or shock as it does in some other books.  This book is quite short and doesn’t have a massive cast of characters, Vo...
