Haiku Reviews...


The Edge of Life by Lena Gibson


In a world that may be
ending, Kat and Ryan face
danger...and find love.


End-of-the-world Romance .... 285 pages .... 4.5/5 stars.
(Gotta love an apocalyptic road trip that includes action, suspense, humor and a sizzling romance.)



The Magnolia Sisters by Michelle Major


When her birth father
dies, Avery gains half a town,
and two new sisters.
(The hot fireman next door is a bonus.)


Romance .... 330 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(I really enjoyed Avery's neighbor, Grayson and his 5-year-old daughter, Violet, and the banter between him, Avery, and Avery's two sisters.)




Love Songs Suck by Becky Monson


Finn's hit song thrusts Lou
into the spotlight--the one place
she NEVER wanted to be.


Romantic comedy .... 344 pages .... 5/5 stars.
(So cute! I loved their late-night texts, Lou's attempts to hide from the paparazzi, and their fake dating scheme to keep Finn's fans from hating her.)




Happy Reading!

    1. That's because I just coined that phrase for this book. ;D

  3. That is a hard thing to imagine, a romance novel set around the end of the world. I do like apocalyptic stories

    1. I love apocalyptic stories, and I thought the author did a fun job of weaving their romance into their survival.

  4. End of world romance? Sounds like it could be fun as long as they find out the world isn't really ending! Love Songs Suck sounds cute too!

  5. I love the look of that first one. Cute cover and a little sobering too! The third one sounds fun also!

    1. I started writing them several years ago mostly because I was feeling lazy and didn't want to write a longer review. ;D Thanks for commenting!

    1. It was so much fun. But be warned, there are a few spicy sex scenes in it.

  8. I suspect that love would be pretty easy to find if we knew the world were ending soon. There seems to be a whole sub-genre of these books and movies lately...and I've enjoyed, I have to admit, more than a few of them myself.

    1. I've always been drawn to apocalyptic end-of-the-world books. They can be a lot of fun to read. Not always, of course. But I like seeing what people do to survive in these books; and it always makes me wonder if I could survive in a similar situation.

  9. These all three of them sound pretty fun and love the haikus as always!

    1. I liked that one, but then I do like that single dad trope in romances. :D

  14. These all sound fun but the last two really call me! I can't resist books involving sisters and I don't think I've come across a premise just like the 3rd book. Plus I do love a fake dating scheme!
