REVIEW:  Somebody to Love by Kristan Higgins

REVIEW: Somebody to Love by Kristan Higgins

Dear Ms. Higgins, I’ve read several of your books and, in general, have found them to be a bit too toothsome for me. I did however enjoy one of your earlier books, The Next Best Thing, so I was interested to read your latest novel, Somebody to Love, whose heroine, Parker Harrington Welles, was introduced in(…)

REVIEW: My One and Only by Kristan Higgins

REVIEW: My One and Only by Kristan Higgins

Dear Ms. Higgins: Let me try to articulate in the beginning what I liked about this book because most of the review is going to be what I didn’t like. After I finished the book, I emailed a friend of mine and said that this book really disappointed me.   It’s like everything I love about(…)

REVIEW:  All I Ever Wanted by Kristan Higgins

REVIEW: All I Ever Wanted by Kristan Higgins

Dear Ms. Higgins: I was fairly lukewarm on your last release. I never warmed up to your heroine and I thought your hero was a bit of a milquetoast. Your stories are all told in the first person, from the female protagonist’s point of view and if the reader doesn’t like the female protag, I(…)

REVIEW: Too Good to Be True by Kristan Higgins

REVIEW: Too Good to Be True by Kristan Higgins

Dear Ms. Higgins, When Grace Emerson’s ex-fiancé starts dating her younger sister, extreme measures are called for.

REVIEW:  The Next Best Thing by Kristan Higgins

REVIEW: The Next Best Thing by Kristan Higgins

Dear Ms. Higgins: I am a fan of your work. It’s in my bio, over there, on the right hand side—-> But this book didn’t work so well for me because, primarily, I felt Lucy was a wallower.   This is a story about loss and everyone’s attempts to recover from loss.   For some, the loss(…)

REVIEW:  Too Good To Be True by Kristan Higgins

REVIEW: Too Good To Be True by Kristan Higgins

Dear Ms. Higgins: For longtime readers of Kristan Higgans (which I suppose is only a few years), Too Good to Be True represents an interesting flip on the plot of Fools Rush In which appears to be your debut book with Harlequin. Fools Rush In is the story of a girl who falls in love(…)

REVIEW: Just One of the Guys by Kristan Higgins

Note:   This is a two for one.   Janine read the book as well and her review follows Jayne’s. Dear Ms. Higgins, Jane has done a wonderful review of this book which I will link to so I don’t have to recap the plot. Love it when I can do that ’cause I’m really lazy. Though(…)

REVIEW: Catch of the Day by Kristan Higgins

Dear Ms. Higgins, This isn’t quite a straight contemporary and yet is not all the way to Chick Lit. I was firmly in Maggie’s corner as she searches for Mr. Right but I gotta say, it’s sad when two priests join your family in trying to find blind dates for you. Yet Maggie stays upbeat(…)

REVIEW: Just One of the Guys by Kristan Higgins

Dear Ms. Higgins: Congratulations on winning the RITA for best contemporary. I’ll confess that I’ve been a skeptic of RITA winners in the past, but as I was lost in the world of Eaton Falls, I thought yours was well deserved. Just One of the Guys (link to excerpt) is a book that sells itself.(…)
