Pretty cute story line, charming romance, but I would have liked a little more ‘umph' in the romance. But it was cute and I enjoyed it.
Audiobook and e-book with a buddy read group message.
OK, I was a little nervous at first unsure what this book was about and reviews are so mixed, but holy cow this book rocked my socks. I read it in less than 2 days. VERY spicy but it was much more than my traditional romance book. Much more of a storyline and even their basic conversations make you think. One example Sean is against social media because it gives everyone a megaphone and a platform to use it!
AUDIOBOOK
HIGHLY recommend!!! This book is incredible! I love how he ends chapters with a prayer. That had me crying a few times. So well spoken, such great and relevant stories. This book will change your life. Can't wait to read it again.
Audiobook.
Very good principles in easy to follow steps with free online resources for easy implementation. He used real life examples to make the principles easy to follow and remember. Very good! Definitely recommend.
AUDIOBOOK
This was just as incredible as the first book! This reads more like a daily devotional with little things to try each day to improve your life. Definitely something that would be worth purchasing the physical copy and journaling. Highly recommend.
The beginning was odd and hard to get in to, but I kept reading because the lead character is so quirky! It was my usual favorite style romance with a billion, but the girl was a super quirky romance author that added a great spin to my usual classic. Fast read. Some scenes were short and confusing so I had no idea what was going on, and others had so much potential to be more that I was disappointed that it wasn't further developed. Overall, good book, worth the read.
With this being the intro book for the series, I didn't have my hopes high. It was a short, easy read, with little development and tons of potential. The story was cute, but I wish there was more character development which left me confused sometimes. Overall, it was a good intro and I look forward to continuing this series.
AUDIOBOOK
This book was incredible! I laughed, I cried, I reflected, I learned, and I was left in awe at the possibilities of life.
I choose this book on a whim hours after having LASIK eye surgery done and needing something to listen to, and thankfully this was a long enough book to get me through my recovery. I have always been interested in understanding the workings of our government and life inside the white house, especially since watching the TV show Scandal.
This book was everything I hoped for and so much more! I loved Michelle's authenticity throughout! She speaks straight to the point, no BS, and she's not afraid to disagree with her husband. I loved hearing about their romance, trips to meet the Queen of England, and how she used her platform as FLOTUS.
I could rave on and on about the wonders of this book, but I don't want to spoil it. Go read it and allow it to impact you!
Highly recommend this book!
Audiobook - DNF
I listened to about 30% before stopping. The audiobook was too mundane and dreary and the book was hard to follow. I know it is a highly recommended book, so I will try to read a physical copy of it at a later date.
This book had good parts, but it was too dark for me. The short blurb sounded so cute, but I didn't look at the genre that said it is suspense. The chapters regarding her abduction were hard for me to read. Overall it was fine, not something I would recommend.
The third, and final, love story of the For Her series at Osborne Corp. Fairly good, similar story line as the last 2, but enough differences that it was refreshing.
I read this as a mix of e-book and a little audiobook. It was fine, a few times I was like ‘oh my gosh, get over it and move on with the story'. For Sadie being her bff, she's barely mentioned! I didn't read the first book in this series, but I did not feel like I missed anything. I would not recommend it, there are better books, don't waste your time with this one.
AUDIOBOOK
This book would have probably been more enjoyable if the audiobook wasn't so rough. It sounded like she was shouting through a tunnel with lots of background noise. Unfortunately, the distorted audio was distracting, I may have missed some points.
The book explained the science of mental health and provided some practical applications to help yourself and/or your loved ones who struggle with mental health concerns.
The author's consistent swearing and simple word choice made heavy topics easier to understand.
Overall, a good book for someone interested in learning about the biology of mental health concerns, how trauma develops and expresses itself, and useful conversations and actions you can take to help yourself or your loved one with a mental health concern, without getting into a heavy textbook.
AUDIOBOOK
Great book on the Christian perspective for overcoming fear and anxiety. He shutdown the old belief that having anxiety would be a sin. He gives grace, and space to come as you are, but not allowing you to stay there.
This was my first Max Lucado book. I felt like it was a solid book that used examples from the Bible and current stories to show how to overcome fear with God. Max is a great story teller, so it was fun to listen.
My biggest take away - I need to memorize scripture so that when hard things come I will repeat verses to overcome.
I would recommend this book if you are Christian and struggle with mental illness, difficult thoughts, or are facing a difficult season and need hope that God still cares and He's still in control.
I didn't think this was as good as the first one in this series, but it was still pretty good.
The romance was great, but some of the scenes were too much and others not enough. I will need to read the next book in the series to see if I like where the story goes.
I didn't plan on reading this book because I didn't care for the storyline (guy stalks girl for 5 years and has manipulated every moment to lead up to when they will meet and fall in love), BUT, this was much better than that sounds. The author has a way of making stalking and possessiveness feel sweet, sexy, and romantic. I rated this so highly because I couldn't put the book down. I read it in less than 48 hours, which is wild because I've never had the patience to read that long at one time, but I couldn't put this book down. When I wasn't reading I was daydreaming about what they would do next! Very hot and steamy and overall great storyline. I look forward to continuing the series.
Pretty good billionaire boyfriend story. I couldn't put it down for the first couple of days, but the sadness towards the end made the last few chapters a slow read. Not overly sad, just more than I prefer. Overall, good book, would maybe recommend....
AUDIOBOOK
Just as incredible as her other books. She's is such a great author. Definitely a book worth reading/listening to multiple times. Highly recommend!!!
