All I Ever Wanted by Kristan Higgins
July 27, 2010

REVIEW: All I Ever Wanted by Kristan Higgins

JaneB ReviewsAdvertising / animals / Contemporary / Kristan Higgins / veterinarian14 Comments

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 ... more >

REVIEW: Too Good to Be True by Kristan Higgins

JayneB Reviews / EbooksContemporary / family relationships / Kristan Higgins / teacher18 Comments

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

JaneBook Reviews / C Reviews20 Comments

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 ... more >

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 ... more >

REVIEW: Just One of the Guys by Kristan Higgins

JayneB Reviews Category / B- Reviews / Book Reviews / C Reviews / C Reviews Category / C+ Reviews / EbooksContemporary / Firefighters / First-Person / Harlequin / Kristan Higgins11 Comments

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 ... more >

REVIEW: Catch of the Day by Kristan Higgins

JayneB Reviews Category / B+ Reviews / Book Reviews / Ebookschick-lit / Contemporary / Harlequin / Kristan Higgins / Maine44 Comments

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 ... more >
