This book is incredibly fascinating, suspenseful, and has touches of romance. I was drawn to it because of my love for Rachel Van Dyken's writing, but I stayed riveted to the story because of Kathy Ireland's experiences with the fashion world. It's a truly engrossing read that doesn't feel completely cohesive as a romance, but... Continue Reading →
Featuring my favorite relationship of the series, this rom com has plenty of humor but also a heaviness that lingers throughout the book. All three Do-Over books have shed light on what happens when someone is unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight, but I found Feisty to have the most unsettling and triggering incident (a storyline...

I don't think Kelly Jamieson is capable of writing a bad book, but something about Firecracker was just lackluster for me.

The Wild One indeed! This book is aptly named because it’s waaaaay sexier than the first book in the series, and a whole lot of fun.
