Review: From Here to You - Jamie McGuire

Review: From Here to You - Book #1 Crash and Burn Series - Jamie McGuire - August 2018 I may be in two minds about the author herself, but I have to admit I do enjoy her books. It has been a long time though since I read a book by Jamie McGuire and reading From Here to You reminded me how much I had enjoyed Beautiful Disaster/Walking Disaster as in From Here to You we are reunited with two of the Maddox Brothers - the twins Taylor and Tyler. Also I have to admit Jamie McGuire always seems to have the most beautiful covers for her books - they are so pretty.  From Here to You starts similar to the movie Safe Haven where the main character runs away from her old life to start new, changes her name and stays hidden so her partner can't find her. In From Here to You, Darby is about to marry her high school sweetheart Shaun when she learns she is pregnant with his baby. Shaun is the type of guy who abuses Darby and in the past she wasn't strong enough to stand ...

Review: Happenstance - Part #3 - Jamie McGuire

  Review: Happenstance - Part #3 - Jamie McGuire - February 2015 One of the things I hate about books and especially series is that often they finish too quickly and you find yourself wanting more and feeling a bit sad that they are over. Over the last two days , I read the entire Happenstance Novella Series and I have to say I loved it. Each book actually got better and better. In the third book, we see the further development of Erin Easter-Alderman's relationship with Weston Gates , but still niggling her in the back of the mind is that he was with the former Erin Alderman. I loved though how she felt right at home with Julianne and Sam, but had hoped that we might have seen a little more of Gina Easter and read her side of the story - maybe Jamie McGuire - you could do a Gina spin-off ? I did find though which annoyed me a bit alot of back and forth with Weston and Erin and found Weston to be honest quite needy in this book - it was like grow some balls and urgh I...
