On The Rocks By Kandi Steiner


On the Rocks is set in small town Tennessee, and I can’t lie and say that’s not why I chose to read it. It is my first book by this author, and I am super excited to read more by her. I followed her on Instagram, @kandisteiner, shortly after finishing this read, and I recommend you follow her on there as well! Great content and really fun person! 
 This book is well written, fun and a great romance! I gave it 5 fully-deserving stars. Steiner’s writing is easy to read and captures her characters intricacies, naturally causing the reader to fall in love with them. The story line was well developed and complete. Steiner conveys all the right feelings to you through her writing so that you are laughing and crying right along with our favorite people.
Our main girl, Ruby Grace (love, love, love double names!) has some really great qualities. At first, I was worried that she was too young and naive to delve into too deeply, but I was wrong! Her struggles to follow the standards set for her, forcing her to put her own needs aside for her family, really resonate in the book. She shows the importance of strong will and following your dreams. Noah is absolutely to die for! Sometimes I would’ve like a little more detail on his daily life, but Steiner stuck to his family life which is true to his core values.
 Steiner did a great job at highlighting the personality a small town holds as well as the normal social behaviors. Although some of the details are a little far-fetched, they fit in well with the story and general culture of the book. This book has steamy romance that will make you blush, but keep on reading!
The next book about the Becker brothers, Neat, was just released. I’m excited to get my hands on it soon! Look for that review!

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

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 Mi

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
