Review:Poorly developed characters. I understand this author is a recovering addict, and the druggy character was the only one in the book that was actually depicted in detail. Had so much potential, but it fell flat. It made for some interesting discussion in my book group with a plethora of criticism for the storyline, writing style, and lack of character development.

Review:Great idea, awkward execution.

Loved the Hollows books, but this book was a little off. It is told in an alternating viewpoint in third person between two different people. The descriptions were hard to follow and the plot-line repetitive. Love the idea though! Read more

Review:This is a wonderful book. I was impressed with how the story was told, the detail and chemistry was off the charts. All the elements were well put. Iliana and Seb were so good together you could just feel what they were feeling. And the intrigue and hotness was just right. I volunteered to read and review an Advance Reader copy. Read more

Review:I was swept away from the first page of this incredible story! Next Year in Havana tells the story of a family in exile, of a people who are torn between country and family, between freedom and oppression, between hope and despair. Every page of this book is filled with passion...whether it is the passion between lovers, or the passion one has for their country...I could feel the passion and love deep inside me. There is so much to love about this book. The characters are so richly-layered, ... Read more

Review:Great book about reuniting family, mending broken bonds and finding and redefining yourself. It's about how our families, friends and neighbors help and support each other during tragedies, hardships and disasters. Above all it talks about how Gods love gets us through all. Read more

Review:Wow. Alice Ward had written another story that will suck you in and won't let go. Atlee is a young lawyer, wanting to save the world. Wyatt is the new CEO of his family's multi million dollar company, that produces environmentally unsafe products. Do you see where I am going with this?
That's right, Atlee is out to prove that Wyatt should change his company, if only she knew that it was his mission too.
And the tears will flow
I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC. Now I am going to ... Read more

Review:Here is a weird review. I am about 30% into this book. I think I will finish it. BUT, this confirms my belief...There is NOTHING so bad in life that you cannot talk about it. Too bad for the main character who you know from the beginning was not allowed to do that. I give it 3 stars because it would not be fair to give it 5 or 1. I have not finished it. Read more

Review:I loved this book! The author is a gifted writer and the story captivated me from beginning to end, I couldn't put it down and felt lost when I finished it! It will join the list of my all time favorites. Read more

Review:I must first confess, that I have never read Jane Austen's Persuasion. When I realized the novel was based on this well loved novel I was excited to give it a go. But when I saw some negative reviews for this book I was nervous to pick it up. However, maybe because I had never read Jane's original novel, I really loved this book! I thought it was delightful and heartwarming. The characters felt realistic and I was invested in Anne's story. I can understand that some may not like this sort ... Read more
