More Than a Hero

February 28, 2022

“You’re my touchstone, the only thing I need to pull back from the edge.”

Every book from Becoming an Evans series just gets better and better. I was immediately hooked from the beginning, thinking, “what’s even happening?”

How can a person have such bad luck? The Disney references! The nicknames!

More Than a Hero has love, family, friendship, action, and humor. There was a balance of light and heavy moments.

How is it that the universe is a massive place, yet in More Than a Hero, it seems like a small world? Louis is Morgan’s brother and Nick’s best friend. Even though Louis kept them apart, he was also the one who brought them together.

Nick is a broken hero. Morgan is a romance author who doesn’t want a hero but a boring, average, steady man. The heart wants what it wants. Even though you say you want something, it doesn’t mean that’s what you need.

Morgan and Nick complement one another. They understand each other. The one thing that I didn’t like was their communication. But at least they acknowledged it.

I can’t wait for more from Jenni Bara and Becoming an Evans series.

Canadian Winter

February 25, 2022

Summary

A widowed single mom, a tattooed brewery owner, and a winter they will never forget. 

After losing her husband, the last thing Mandy Adams wanted in her life was a man. Being welcomed into a tight-knit circle of friends, her plan was thrown to the wind in the form of a persistent and devastatingly handsome brewery owner. Caught between protecting her two children and giving into her desires, Mandy needs to decide if she can let her guard down and love again. 

On the verge of expanding his brewery, Zach Richardson is living the dream. His days are filled with making beer and his nights with drinking it and hanging out with his friends. The last thing he’s looking for is love, especially in the form of an insta-family, but the addition of a certain redhead in his circle of friends will make him rethink everything he thought he wanted.

Torn between his workaholic lifestyle and a taste of family life he didn’t know he wanted, Zach needs to find a balance and prove to Mandy he can be the man her family needs. 

Will he be able to convince her to be his forever Valentine, or will Mandy turn away at a second chance at true love?

Review

Canadian Winter hooked me from the first lines of the summary.

A widowed single mom, a tattooed brewery owner, and a winter they will never forget.

It sounds like a cheesy Christmas story. I mean that in the best possible way. While I was reading Canadian Winter, I confess that I imagined it as a holiday movie playing before my eyes.

Sometimes you just want a holiday movie for the warm and fuzzy feelings, no matter what time of year it is. And this is coming from a person who watches Christmas movies year-round.

Logan Creek series is about a group of friends in a small town called Logan Creek. I’m assuming there will be four books in the Logan Creek series. Each book would take place during the season of the book title. Kimberly Ann manages to hook me in with at least one trope I enjoy with each book. Each book is a standalone, featuring a different couple from the friend group. In small towns, everyone knows each other and knows everything that happens. You can’t hide anything.

Canadian Winter is about Zach and Mandy. Zach looks like the stereotypical “bad boy” but has a gold heart. Mandy is a single mom who puts her children before herself. One would think that Zach and Mandy would make no sense together, but in a way, they do. They are both selfless, putting everything before what they want, which is both a good and bad thing.

Not everything happens right the first time. Things happen. You can have second or more chances to get what you want. Canadian Winter has work-life balance, friendships, love, and family. Zach is a workaholic trying to balance his life with an insta-family and work. All he has ever known was work. When he meets Mandy, entering into a relationship, it’s not just her but her children on the line as well. Zach’s relationship with Daniel and Avery is so sweet. He treats them like they’re his own. Daniel looks up to him as a father figure. I loved every time I read about Zach with Daniel or Avery. I don’t understand the hoops Zach has to go through when he does something “wrong.” I know that he’s not just hurting one person, but three. Actions speak louder than words. But people make mistakes, are grand gestures required every time?

Can I say that Daniel is my favorite?

“Do you want to come dinosaur hunting with me? I need to find my dino-family!”

“Mom, you always have to be on the lookout for Yetis!”

Not going to lie; I read Canadian Winter and a few others when I was not in the best mind space. My focus was not the best, and it took longer to read than usual. Taking that into consideration, it would impact how I feel when reading. However, I still manage to enjoy reading Canadian Winter overall. I can’t wait for Canadian Spring.

The Edge of Redemption

February 23, 2022

The Edge of Redemption by Kristin Turnage is live!

Summary

Jace Walker is a master illusionist, but he can’t keep up the act anymore. His family and friends thought he was happy and healthy and at peace with his past. But that was a lie. Every single moment from that awful day has been a lie. Just one big exhausting routine that he can’t stop. Always having to pretend to deal with the pain of his life lost.

All he wanted to do was feel her again, and the pills always helped. That is until they didn’t. Being forced to open up about his feelings is now his life. His newest distraction is this stranger in town with pink hair and an attitude problem who’s tormenting his mind while slowly bringing him back to life.

One look at AJ, and you’d think she has everything together, but things aren’t always as they appear. After leaving home at 18 to forge her own path, she’s pulled back to her old life by the death of her sister and brother-in-law, now being the only next of kin for her 7-year-old orphaned niece.

With her heart still aching to be free, she now fights the courts for custody of her niece, desperately trying to go back to the life she had. The only problem with her plan is the attractive asshole in the grief support group that she hates with every fiber of her being but who also feels like home.

To an onlooker, these two Grumpy Gus’s are the definition of toxic, but as fate would have it, they’re partnered together to complete their healing journeys.

With darkness around every corner, will the stars align on their road to redemption?
 
Content warning: The book contains sensitive subject matter related to the loss of a loved one and suicide.

“A Bánh Mì for Two” is a feel-good story abo “A Bánh Mì for Two” is a feel-good story about food, family, and self-discovery.

Dual POVs: Lan, who lives in Sai Gon, wants to be the perfect daughter and fulfill “expectations,” all the while dealing with the grief of losing her father. Vivi is a Vietnamese-American who comes to Vietnam for the first time, wanting to learn more about her family and herself. Their love of food connects them. 

I wasn’t expecting to get emotional as I did.

“A Bánh Mì for Two” was what I needed growing up. Stories with characters who look like me are coming to traditional publishing in YA. And people even know about it!

If only the blog was real! I would use it the next time I go to Vietnam. It needs to be a thing.

It was relatable. However, I wished for more at moments. 
A few times, I had to stop to look up words. Since I can understand Vietnamese more than I can read it, I had to listen to the words to understand what they were. It would have been an even better experience if I had listened to the audiobook. 

“A Bánh Mì for Two” was one of my anticipated books of the year, and I am honored to be gifted a copy.
