A Tale of Two Hearts

 

***

PG

{L?} {BSt} {UM/TMP?}

Could Probably Recommend

I did not enjoy this one as much as the first in the series (probably because there was not mystery) but it was still a cute story.

I have a {Language} rating just because there is frequent use of casual ways of thanking Diety...so really, not language...it probably doesn't bother anyone else but it always snags my attention :)

There is some {Backstory} that is somewhat significant but not talked about in abundance.

Also, there were one or two {Uncomfortable Moments or moments of Too Much Passion}.  Very slight and may not even need this rating but again, enough that I made mental note.

Over all, I enjoyed reading the book, liked the characters and the plot and could most likely recommend this novel.

A Wish for Father Christmas

PG

{UM} 

Could Recommend

I thought this was a cute one!

A bit of a different plot than the usual.

There were only a couple of {Uncomfortable Moments}...and just the tiniest bit of {Too Much Passion}.

I didn't even mention it in my rating because I just felt like it was a tad too descriptive in her feelings...not really qualifying for the {TMP} label.  So maybe I can just clump those in with the {UM} :)

Could probably recommend this book.

This was a pleasant surprise for me!

I don't often read the back of a book before I begin and so I was not expecting a mystery :)

A Christmas mystery was just what I needed!

I loved the plot and characters.

What a fun read!

I could easily recommend this book and now I want to go find the second installment in this series!

It was fun to read about Sadie and her sleuthing skills again :)

This book was fun...not a murder mystery...just a mild thievery mystery.

There were just a couple of {Uncomfortable Moments} but not bad enough to make it not recommendable.

This was a sweet compilation of cute Christmas stories.

I don't recall anything that bothered me in any of the stories.

Happy to recommend to someone looking for some lighthearted Christmas cheer :)

Strong PG

{UM} slight {BSt} {TMP}

Probably Not Recommendable

First of all, that cover!  I love it!!!

Secondly, I thought the story was unique and interesting, however, there were multiple things that bothered me in the book.

There were a few {Uncomfortable Moments} and a {Backstory} that is hardly mentioned but you know it's there.  The thing that troubled me the most though was the focus on their physical relationship {Too Much Passion}.  Their wedding night is written about, and then aside from that issue, (which, by the way, is always an issue for me :) the description of any other kissing or desire was too much in my opinion.

Again, I thought the plot and characters were interesting and well written but I would have a hard time recommending this book based on some of the content.

I don't know why it took me so long to get around to reading this one!

It was fun to put it in its place though as I reread the Jonquil and Lancaster series and it helped prepare me for the finale, Charming Artemis.

This is a cute novella that involves Artemis and Charlie's friends and sets the stage nicely for their own romance in the next book.

Super clean and sweet...as always from Sarah Eden.

I easily recommend this book with no concerns!
