Review: Eleanor and Grey by Brittainy C. Cherry

Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. He made me promise not to try to ge

The MacGregor Grooms
Synopsis from Goodreads: The Matchmaking MacGregorIt worked with his granddaughters.

My review: Gosh you know I just love a good Nora Roberts book. I flew through this in a day. The first series I read by her was the Bride Quartet series and I absolutely loved it. The MacGregors also rank really high up there for me.
It's just such easy and quick reading, and the romance! Oh my! Can I just live in a Nora Roberts novel and have all these handsome men running around and being ready to sweep me off my feet?
This specific edition had three mini-stories in one. So the different stories delved into the romances of D.C., Duncan, and Ian. I loved all of them, but Ian was by far my favorite. He was that smart, handsome, bookish guy who really knows how to respect a girl and treat her the right way. D.C. and Duncan were both more...aggressive and forward with their actions. Fun to read about but I could never picture myself with them.
At first I didn't think I would like the idea of the matchmaking grandfather, but it actually wasn't as overpowering of a plot line as expected. He would just pop up every once and awhile and gradually guide a couple towards each other. Speaking of the MacGregor family members, I totally wish I could be apart of their family because it just sounds so fun, welcoming, and charming. Yay for Scottish men!
Sometimes I was confused by how everyone was related, but I think that was because I hadn't started the series off with book one. I definitely want to go back and read the other books that are apart of this series. I just had to read this one for a feminist class I'll be taking in college.
So, if you love romance, Nora Roberts, and extremely attractive and sexy men, then definitely pick this up! Also, I just love this cover. I think it's so beautiful with the combination of colors.
See you soon!

Blog Tour: And I Darken by Kiersten White

Top Ten YA Books That Use Genre to Tell True Stories My favorite genres are the ones that use non-real-world elements, such as sci-fi, dystopian, fantasy, and historical fiction. When done right, it’s exactly those larger-than-life elements that tell the truest parts of the story. I wanted to examine how good people get to the point where they can commit atrocities in the name of their goals. Using a gender-swapped, notorious historical figure made an odd sort of sense. I could explore everything I wanted to, but on a grand, lavish scale. And even though And I Darken is set in the 1400s, the parallels to today’s political and cultural climate are inescapable. I hope it feels visceral and familiar, in spite of the centuries between us. In that vein, I selected ten books I feel use their genre to tell the truest, most timely stories they can. 1–2. Alexandra Duncan’s SALVAGE and SOUND Both of these books are sci-fi, set in the future where space travel and even colonization are a reality

Weekly Round-Up 9/2

Weekly Round-Up is my wrap-up of last week's activities and includes what I'm reading this week, reviews I've posted, books in the mail and anything else of interest plus From the Library, my weekly listing of what I've checked out from the library. This week I'm reading Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard and then finishing The Cuckoo's Calling and listening to The Peculiar by Stefan Bachmann, read by Peter Altschuler. I'm reading Nick and Tesla's High-Voltage Lab   by Bob Pflugfelder and Steve Hockensmith with my son right now. I think I will start featuring the chapter and middle grade books we are reading together. Last week I reviewed She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith. Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard The year is 1876, and there’s something strange and deadly loose in Philadelphia… Eleanor Fitt has a lot to worry about. Her brother has gone missing, her family has fallen on hard times, and her mother is d

Review: Change Places With Me by Lois Metzger

Review: CHANGE PLACES WITH ME is a quiet, unassuming book that will unfortunately slip by a lot of readers. But it's a subtly disturbing book that makes you pause and think and wonder. Lois Metzger's beautifully written prose is haunted and almost lyrical. This book is definitely ... different. I'm not sure exactly what I expected when I started it, but I don't think it was this. It was a pleasant surprise. This book can only be described as a mystery shrouded in an enigma.  It's a fairly fast read, but I loved taking my time and savoring over the course of an afternoon. Metzger's writing and her heroine, Rose, are compelling and make for a great narrative. ABOUT CHANGE PLACES WITH ME: Rose has changed. She still lives in the same neighborhood with her stepmother and goes to the same high school with the same group of kids, but when she woke up today, something was just a little different than it was before. The dogs who live upstairs are no longer a terror. He
