My Unexpected Forever (Teaser #3) by Heidi McLaughlin

Posted on 21:00 by gllapsi


On Friday readers finally got to see the cover of My Unexpected Forever by Heidi McLaughlin. Here it is again because I can't get enough of it. 




I like the two  images and how the one of Harrison in the foreground shows

in the background alludes to the HEA.


And now to share another teaser of My Unexpected

Review.2: Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire

Posted on 21:00 by gllapsi
Back in April, I shared my review of Jamie McGuire's Walking Disaster - her companion novel to Beautiful Disaster. I read Walking Disaster after reading Beautiful Disaster for my book club. I looked forward to learning the story from Travis's perspective. I didn't love it. You can read what I thought about it here in my review. My friend (and fellow book club member), EMillie didn't agree with my

My Unexpected Forever (Teaser #1) by Heidi McLaughlin

Posted on 21:00 by gllapsi
Heidi McLauglin's Forever My Girl was the first book of 2013 and it is still one of my favorites of the year. From my review:



"Forever My Girl had me on an emotional roller coaster. There was a heaviness to it, but there were many smiles, some laughs, heart-warming moments, and lot of anticipation. It is a really sexy story and the idea of what might be contributes to that."
