Rom-Com Reviews
Time to catch up on my reviews
I challenged myself to read a handful of Christmas themed Rom-Coms, of which, I’ve written four reviews. Although I continued to read through the Christmas holiday, I neglected to write the reviews. So...in order to expedite the process I’m going to review the last four books in one organized piece. Enjoy!
Rom-Com #5
The Christmas Train by David Baldacci
Of all the Rom-Coms I read, this one was, by far, my favorite. David Baldacci combines memorable characters, a train, Mark Twain (in a good way), an avalanche and a surprising plot twist. Lost love found, an undercover train agent and a “heavenly” thief keep the action going. This is one of those books where I wished I could read faster. I don’t re-read books, but this is one I would.
Rom-Com #6
Catching Christmas”
by Terri Blackstock
The premise for Terri Blackstock’s storyline was well thought out. A good samaritan doing a good deed gets sucked into a romance by accident. I enjoyed the book until the very end, where Blackstock got behind the pulpit and added a religious monologue to the story. I suppose since the plot centered around Christmas, this makes sense, however, it felt forced - almost like an afterthought.
Rom-Com #7
Don’t Stop Me Now
by Colleen Coleman
Rom-Com #8
I’m Still Standing
by Colleen Coleman
Both of Colleen Coleman’s books have a happily-ever-after ending. The first is set in England and the latter in Ireland. Both have strong female leads trying to find their way in the world after a personal setback. This is an author I would return to when I need a little sunshine in my life.
