First Love, Second Draft

Title: First Love, Second Draft

Author: Becca Kinzer

Publisher: Tyndale House

Genre: Christian Fiction, RomCom, Contemporary Romance

Source: Library

My Review:

First Love, Second Draft takes a hot minute to get into with the changing perspectives of the story. You have the story of the main characters, Noah and Gracie, and you also get the perspective of Gracie's nephew Matt.

Stacking the Shelves #167, Sunday Post #164, Sunday Salon #158

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? It was another long week, with lots of extra appointments. The best thing about this week is that my husband and I went to the Cain concert on Wednesday night and we had a blast. I hope to get a post up about it soonish. We looked at a house yesterday, and the only good thing about it is that it was near a library we had not been into yet, so I decided to check it out 😂. Happy Mother's Day to those of you who are moms. My kiddos are working/gone today, so it will just be me and my husband hanging out, sorting through things today.

Alice Taylor is More Than A Princess

Title: Alice Taylor is More Than A Princess

Series: Another Bailey Brother #5

Author: Jen Atkinson

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: RomCom, Contemporary Romance

Source: Kindle Unlimited

My Review:

I have loved all the Bailey brother books and Alice Taylor is More Than a Princess did not disappoint. Alice was always one of my favorite characters. She was a child in all the books, but always spoke her mind. Not much has changed now that she is an adult 😂.
