I read quite a bit and tend to get behind in posting reviews. This year, I will be posting "quick reviews" for books that I have read and want to share with you. I hope you find something you want to check out as well.

I read this series several times in high school and college. I remember thinking that the protagonists were spunky and brave and the two spinster aunts were adorable and funny. That still holds true after picking this book up last summer. I look forward to re-reading through the series this year.
I gave this book: ★★★★★

I read this over the summer as well - it was a great summer read since the hero is a baseball player and for me, baseball is synonymous with summer. It was a little kitchy with the "fake" proposal bit but it was pretty tame for a romance novel and the characters were definitely likable.
I gave this book: ★★★★★

I read this in early November and rated it without making any notes; I don't remember a lot about this book to be honest. I gave it two stars which means it was okay -- I didn't hate it but I didn't really like it either. I seem to recall being really annoyed by Gracie. It gets pretty decent reviews on Goodreads so it must not have been for me. In the plus column, there were some pretty significant plot twists in this story that I feel like were going to be delved into further in future stories in the series.
I gave this book: ★★

I super enjoyed this story. I read it in late fall and while I may not recall all the details in the story, I remember that I really wanted to know what happened next. Romance is pretty formulaic and so while I enjoy them, I don't always feel pulled into the story. Schurig was a new author to me and I really liked the characters that she created and for "new adults" I didn't find myself rolling my eyes at all. Months later, I saw the title in my review pile and good vibes came back.
I gave this book: ★★★★★

This is one of the best Christian romances I've read. And one of the most satisfying. Nick was completely likable; his strength and his growth touching and genuine. Kate is also real and while she isn't perfect, she's not a weak whiner. While they both have doubts about a relationship between them, it wasn't all angsty; instead it focused on who they were, who they wanted to be and how to mesh that with who they were actually becoming. I will definitely read more by this author in the future.
I gave this book: ★★★★
