New Release Review! WAIT FOR ME by Sarah Mayberry (The Outback Bachelor Ball #3)

Wait For Me by Sarah Mayberry Synopsis: Sometimes it pays to wait for the things you want, even if it’s the hardest thing you ever do. Beth Walker hasn’t just been burned by her philandering country music star ex, she’s been barbecued to a crisp. Coming home to Australia and into the arms of her best friends is exactly the balm she needs. Cocktails and laughter at an Outback Bachelor and Spinster Ball seem like the perfect distraction. Until she bumps into the last person she wants seeing her heartsick and pathetic — Jonah Masters, rising country music star and…

What I’m Reading: Week in Review (9/21/13)

It’s official–fall is here. I’d be more bummed, except that in this case it means we’re that much closer to the day we leave for the Baltimore Book Festival! Yes! It’s almost here! We’ll be spending this week packing, doing laundry (thank goodness for audiobooks!), and planning which talks and workshops we want to go to…oh, and school, of course. Can’t forget school. Though sometimes we’d like to–especially during the week of Parent Information Night. I’m going to really earn those personal days this week. But I digress…. I read the two books in Sarah Mayberry’s Matthews sisters series–Her Favorite…

Book Review: Her Favorite Temptation by Sarah Mayberry (Book one of the Matthews Sisters series)

I reviewed book two in the series, Her Favorite Rival, here. Yep, read them out of order. Lived to tell the tale. 😉 Title: Her Favorite Temptation Author: Sarah Mayberry Series: Matthews sisters Genre: contemporary romance Published: 2013 Length: novella Format read: ebook Rating: A Sarah Mayberry has done it again. I *might* even like Leah’s story better than Audrey’s–which almost seems like sacrilege. I didn’t really want to like Leah all that much, given how she’s been the favorite of their parents practically since she could talk, and Audrey has been paying the price ever since. Out of reader/character solidarity with Audrey, I was bound and…

Book Review and New Release: Her Favorite Rival by Sarah Mayberry (Book two in the Matthews sisters series)

Title: Her Favorite Rival Author: Sarah Mayberry Series: Matthews sisters Genre: contemporary romance Published: 2013 Pages: 304 Format read: ebook Rating: A Her Favorite Rival is the second book in the Matthew sisters series, after the novella Her Favorite Temptation. Rival stands just fine on its own, if you–like me–didn’t even realize there was a story that came before it. I’ll be reading Leah’s story soon, though. Very soon. Audrey Matthews is a workaholic. She’s never felt as if she’s measured up to her family’s expectations–she can never be as perfect as her younger sister Leah, the doctor. Instead, Audrey’s worked her way up through her company tooth and nail,…

What I’m Reading: Week in Review (9-13-13)

(Click on the image above to find out 10 fun facts about Friday the 13th–my favorite is that paraskevidekatriaphobia means fear of Friday the 13th. I’m totally going to use that for ELA class next week, when we’re talking about 50-cent words. It’s going to be one of mine!) Once again, school interferes with my reading, darn it. Still, I managed to be fairly productive, in spite of the tragedy that struck on Monday. The screen on my Kindle Fire cracked! It was horrible! I’m still not sure when/how exactly it happened, but it was found on the (hardwood) floor of my bedroom,…
