Her Homecoming Wish by Jo McNally -- Tour Stop


This book is a part of the Harlequin Special Edition series.  I was given a copy from Harlequin and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

49260594. sx318 sy475

Mackenzie Wallace hopes there’s still some bad boy lurking beneath single father Danny Adams’s upright exterior. Being the proverbial good girl left her brokenhearted and alone in the past. Now she’s back in town and wants excitement with her high school crush—not love. Dan knows their connection runs deep, despite Mackenzie’s protests. But will their new personas work together—especially when Dan’s secret is exposed?

Okay.  I didn’t super love this one.  I didn’t even really like it...but this book has an average of almost 4 stars on Goodreads, so don’t just take my word for it!  To me, the characters didn’t seem genuine.  It seemed like the dialogue was trying too hard.  It felt really cheesy to me, and I rolled my eyes….A LOT.  Have y’all been back to your hometowns years after graduating from high school?  SPOILER ALERT-nobody is this cute or witty.  Keep your handful of friends that you love and don’t try this at home.  This book dragged on for me and I definitely felt like I was forcing myself to finish it.  Not every book is a slam dunk for me.  This one certainly wasn’t.

If you enjoy a fluffy romance book, definitely pick this one up.  There are lots of great reviews for this book on Goodreads.  I encourage you to take a look around and make your own choice.  If you’re more like me or we have similar tastes, maybe skip this one.

🌟🌟/5 Stars

Jo McNally

Jo McNally lives in coastal North Carolina with 100 pounds of dog and 200 pounds of husband. When she’s not writing or reading romance novels she can often be found on the back porch sipping wine with friends while listening to an eclectic playlist. If the weather is absolutely perfect, she might join her husband on the golf course, where she always feels far more competitive than her actual skill-level would suggest.

Is One Truly the Loneliest Number?

I was given a digital copy of One? by Jennifer L. Cahill.  She reached out to me through Twitter, and she was so sweet.  I couldn't wait to dive into her book.💙 The Plot (From Goodreads): It's London in the mid-noughties before Facebook, iPhones and ubiquitous wifi. Zara has just moved to London for her first real job and struggles to find her feet in a big city with no instruction manual. Penelope works night and day in an investment bank with little or no time for love. At twenty-eight she is positively ancient as far as her mother is concerned and the pressure is on for her to settle down as the big 3-0 is looming. Charlie spends night and day with his band who are constantly teetering on the verge of greatness. Richard has relocated to London from his castle in Scotland in search of the one, and Alyx is barely in one place long enough to hold down a relationship let alone think about the future. One? follows the highs and lows of a group of twenty-somethings living ...

First Post-Here We Go!

This is still a little insane to me.  Last week I wasn't even thinking a Bookstagram would be possible for me, let alone a blog!  What if I'm not interesting?  What if my reviews are terrible?  What if I actually have BAD taste in books? I guess we're going to find out.  Follow me.  Be patient with me.  Grow with me.  Let's explore as many amazing stories, wonderful authors, and unforgettable books as we can! 💙

The Lonely Hearts Crime Club

I obtained a copy of this book courtesy of NetGalley.  The Lonely Hearts Crime Club is scheduled to be released April 16th, 2019 by Blackbird Digital Books. Synopsis (from Goodreads): An elderly resident of an inner-city tower block is brutally attacked and left for dead. Her neighbours, a pregnant alcoholic, a vulnerable youth, a failed actress and a cameraman with a dark secret, are thrown together in their search for answers. Misfits and loners, they are forced to confront uncomfortable realities about themselves and each other, as their investigation leads them towards the shocking finale.   The cast of characters for this book were very interesting in the fact that all of them are severely flawed.  When combined they formed a group of misfits similar to those of The Breakfast Club or The Sandlot.  Each person brought something different to the "team."  The main characters are listed below Ella-pregnant, 3rd trimester, recovering alcoholic, on h...
