Abducted
by a Prince (Cinderella Sisterhood, #3) by Olivia Drake (received through NetGalley)
3.5 stars
A revengeful man sets out to abduct the
debutant daughter of an Earl but instead grabs her spinster cousin. This Cinderella story has an extremely
likable heroine who is talented, intelligent and consistently demonstrates
common sense. The book also includes an
intriguing mystery as to the identity of Damien’s parentage that actually kept
me guessing until the end. I did find
Damien unlikable at first and though he does redeem himself, his character
transition did not seem very believable.
Overall, this is an enjoyable romance with an interesting plot
twist. I received this book from
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
The
Harm in Asking: My Clumsy Encounters with the Human Race by Sara Barron (received through
Goodreads)
3 stars
This book of humorous anecdotes by Sara
Barron explores the awkward moments in her life. There are definitely some very funny moments
in this book and I loved reading about her exchange program in France and her
interactions with her brother. Overall,
though, she tries too hard to make very ordinary events funny therefore the
book became tedious in parts. I received
this book in a Goodreads Firstreads Giveaway.
