I actually really enjoyed this book.  The characters were likeable, and there was a well-thought out plot, even though the book was mainly spice. 

4.5 stars.

I really liked this book. I loved the characters and the writing style. 

I thought the storyline was unique as well. I've read other Regency era books (Bridgerton) but all the characters were from the ton. I loved how the main character was a thief. I also really enjoyed how this book went into their pasts. 

4.25 stars.

4.0

This was very well written, but it was so infuriating. The main conflict could have been solved with one conversation. 

Nothing meaningful happened until 90%. There was just so much unnecessary pining. I wish more happened in this story. 

4 stars, purely because I did enjoy it and I thought the writing was great. However I was so annoyed.

This book was good, fluffy and enjoyable. But that's all I can really say. I liked the characters and I liked the plot, but overall it just wasn't special. 

3 stars.

3.5

I really enjoyed this book, but it took me a while to get into it as at some points I found the characters immature and a bit ridiculous in their actions. 

But by the end I loved both main characters and their romance. 

3.5 stars.

4.0

This is definitely my favourite Sarah Adams book so far. I really enjoyed it, and I thought it was so cute. 

I hated Jake at the start, but soon fell in love with him. I also loved Evie from the first page. 

The disability representation I absolutely adored, and the dogs!!! I loved it. And this book actually made me tear up in places from the cuteness. 

Evie and Jake were so cute together as well, the only thing that threw me off was the 3rd act breakup and the very fast-paced epilogue. I think the epilogue was ok, but it could have been so much better. 

Also: Sam. I loved her. 

I don't normally like insta love stories, but I liked this one. It wasn't too unrealistic. 

4 stars. While I loved it, I doubt it will stick in my mind, and it was nothing special.

This was a very average rom com. There was nothing special about the characters, but I liked it anyway. I thought it was cute at some points, but at others I thought the writing was immature and unrealistic. 

Holiday Romance, by Catherine Walsh

4.75

My heart wants to give this book 5 stars but there's just something stopping me from giving it that rating. 

I loved this book. I loved Molly and Andrew and I loved the development of their relationship. The premise of this book was unique and I loved how it spanned over 10 years. I also loved how it didn't seem to drag on and that it was more focused on the present rather than the past. 

Molly and Andrew were just adorable, but the only thing I wish happened was that we  saw an engagement at the end or something like that, I did like the epilogue but it kinda fell flat for me, which is one of the reasons why it only gets 4.75 stars. 

I also think it was too fast-paced at points, especially the ending. I wish there was more development of their relationship instead of going directly into 1 year later. 

However, that's the only flaw this book has. I loved the writing style and the characterisations.

2.5

I didn't really like this book. Some parts made me laugh or smile, but most of the time I was just rolling my eyes at the writing. It was just so immature. 

There were some lines that I liked, and the romance was cute.... but I just hated the fact that this was meant to be a woman in her 20s and yet she acted so immature. It was also so unrealistic. 

The only redeeming quality about this book was Drew. I loved him. 

2.5 stars.

This book was... fine. But it was also very immature and the writing was also very childish. 

Spoiler

It was also very quick. The main couple got married after like 2 months, and fell in love after a week. It was so unrealistic

3 stars.
