Game Changer By Sylvie Stewart


I was pleasantly surprised with Game Changer by Sylvie Stewart. When I started the story, I had to roll my eyes a few times at the over the top small-town details. A rebel flag suitcase… come on now? That just doesn’t happen, especially for people like the characters in this story. However, I let the ridiculous southern details slide and decided to power on figuring the author was going for an over the top, Sweet Home Alabama, melt your heart southern family.
            I’m very pleased with my decision to continue reading. I truly started to like our main girl, Poppy. Her desire to fit into the New York lifestyle was natural, even if her southern roots were a little stronger than any I’ve ever personally seen. Her relationship with Mac is so cute and swoon worthy. Stewart did an amazing job with the comedic relief, and I was entertained the entire time. But wait! You will be happy to know that there is, in fact, a plot underneath all of the absurdity known as Miss Georgia Peach, Poppy.  
            Mac’s family history as well as the treachery he is avoiding give the reader an enticing story to follow. Not to mention, the back and forth between stoic Mac and trusting Poppy made me want to chain smoke (not that I did) from my yo-yoing emotions. Poppy’s self-acceptance and progress in her career was appreciated; I just wish it would’ve came a little sooner.
            The character development was good. I was worried we wouldn’t see enough of Mac to really figure him out, but Stewart was able to succinctly round him out without losing the reader in too many details and conversations. On a side note, the Mac on the cover didn't match up to the Mac I had in my mind... feel free to comment your opinion! I would have loved to see more of Cookie, Iris, and Bunny, but maybe Stewart has that planned for something in the future! I recommend this story to anyone who loves a romantic comedy!

Sorcery of Thorns By Margaret Rogerson

Sorcery of Thorns By Margaret Rogerson did not disappoint! I give this book a full 5 stars, and I am so thrilled I finally picked it up! This book sat on my TBR shelf for about four months. Y’all, that was five months too long! This standalone fantasy novel is uniquely thrilling, humorous, and inspiring.   It’s a must read for all lovers of fantasy!  Elisabeth was raised in the bowels of the library vowing to protect others from the evil of magic. Nathaniel is a sorcerer and the vilest kind, or at least his cold eyes say as much. When Elisabeth has to depend on the person she has grown up despising, she learns more about herself than she ever thought possible. Elisabeth, Nathaniel, and dear, sweet Silas teach us that the world is not always what we are taught and that people do not have to become what they are labeled.     This is Rogerson’s sophomore novel, but the first story I have read by her. This world was created with such care and detail it could easily hav

Relatively Normal By Whitney Dineen

--> Relatively Normal was recommended by Amazon as a book that I may be interested in. After having purchased several "recommended" books by Amazon that were total flops, I am a little more resistant to purchase their recommendations. When I saw that Whitney Dineen was an award winning author, I figured I would give this romantic comedy a go. I give this book 3.3 stars rounded down to a 3. I wanted to like this book more than I did.  Cat is a successful party planner who is in a committed relationship and decides to take her betrothed home to meet her family; however, her family isn’t quite “normal.” So… you can see where this story is going. To make matters even worse her high school love who tragically smashed her heart into a million pieces decides to re-enter her life. In the beginning, I had a hard time really connecting with the characters. The story was interesting because I wanted to see what the Masterson family was going to do next. As the stor
