#5BlushReview~~Book Lovers by Emily Henry

Rating: Book Lovers Emily Henry One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn’t see coming…. Nora Stephens’ life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip...

Blog Tour ~~ A LITTLE TOO CLOSE by Rebecca Yarros

Rating:     A LITTLE TOO CLOSE by Rebecca Yarros Release Date: October 11th Genre/Tropes: Single Parent Romance/Small Town Romance   Louisa’s 5 Blush Review I saw Rebecca Yarros and was immediately interested.  I wish I had read more into what this series was about because I started with this book, and I think I should have read Sarina Bowen’s A Little too Late, which is about Weston’s older brother (but I can still go back and read it and I don’t think I was confused reading this first but I am a purest and like to read series in...

#AudibleReview #FiveBlushReview ~~ Maggie Moves On by Lucy Score

Rating: Maggie Moves On  by Lucy Score, Emma Wilder (Narrator) Louisa’s 5 Blush Audible Review  My first Lucy Score book, and I listened to the Audible!  In the middle of listening, I went to Amazon and got another Lucy Score book because I love this author’s writing.  Buyer beware – it’s written in 3rd person, which isn’t my favorite, but OMG, Maggie and Silas were AH-MAZ-ING!! Silas, the hot landscaper, is remarkable.  Many might find him a bit pushy and presumptuous, but I loved that he KNEW that he and Maggie were meant to be and never lost sight of that.  Maggie...

#FiveBlushReview ~~ Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake by Mazey Eddings

Rating: Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake by Mazey Edding I read Mazey Edding’s first book, A Brush with Love, and found a new author to love.  She’s local to me, and that, for some reason, makes me like her even more! I was so excited to see that Lizzie was getting her own book, as I loved her in A Brush with Love. Lizzie is a unique character, but honestly, IRL, she’s like many of us.  Maybe a bit too loud, talk too much, and is a bit scattered at times.  As a mother of a child with ADD, I can...

Five Blush Review ~~ Loving Camilla by J. Lynn Bailey

Rating: Loving Camilla by J. Lynn Bailey   Tera’s 5 Blush Review I have to admit that this was my favorite book of the whole series. I suppose J. Lynn Bailey saved the best for last! This story won me over because of that heroine, Camilla. She is a complex character written to perfection. Those who love strong heroines, Camilla is your girl. I appreciated the different angles this story took. It was a “bigger picture” story that didn’t focus quite so much on the small town of Dillon Creek. In this series, you meet many characters, and Loving Camilla...
