Sweetheart Sham was classic Entangled. Light and breezy with great characters, a nice family focus, and a sweet romance. I enjoyed it.

I just happened to click over to the website, and they had the new books up. This was before the email went out, so I got lucky. It was really fabulous.

I am kind of mad that I didn't grab it when it was offered on First to Read. All of these books sound like worthwhile reads.

I guess Entangled books always have those contemporary romance looking covers, but I think it's the heart that gives it away for me. =)Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-27875187823838775262017-12-23T16:39:13.760-05:002017-12-23T16:39:13.760-05:00I hadn't given Down and Across much thought, b...I hadn't given Down and Across much thought, but you make it sound really good. Have you ever noticed that you can totally recognize Entangled books by their covers (at least contemp ones)? They all look alike!<br /><br />Nicole @ <a href="http://feedyourfictionaddiction.com" rel="nofollow">Feed Your Fiction Addiction</a>Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637114079800138680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-33627575305525082202017-12-23T06:44:26.016-05:002017-12-23T06:44:26.016-05:00I was excited when I serendipitously snagged that ...I was excited when I serendipitously snagged that one through First to Read. It really surpassed my expectations. I love a good self discovery story and Scott's fits that category. So many good things in Lily and Abelard. As with many other books focusing on neurodiversity, this one had an interesting POV too, and it's #OwnVoices, which makes me consider everything being said so much more.

It hadn't been really on my radar at all, but you have talked about so many things I love in a contemporary that I am seriously thinking about adding it. I like realistic portrayals of kids making the college transition, AND I love a solid ending. And gritty historical people? Absolutely! Lily and Abelard looks cute too- though the open ending... Idk about that hah. The first book is totally new to me, but I DO love the idea of a grand gesture- it sounds so fun, maybe I just don't read the book, but DO find someone who wants to throw some grand gestures together for me :D Great reviews!!
