Welcome to Litsy!

My April wrap up. Swept Away, The Family Experiment, and The Austen Sisters were my favorites.

An adventure romance that reminded me of On The Island -- and honestly, I'm a lot older now than when I read that and I wasn't always sure my heart could take it! 😂 The adventure section is excellent but I felt the ending hit some false notes that took away from the authenticity of the rest. The audiobook is very well narrated.

I loved this. Beth O'Leary almost always hits the spot for me- I've only disliked one of her books- and this one immediately swept me away along with the characters. I was terrified for them but I liked how they handled themselves and the relationship they built. The twist at the end felt unnecessary but didn't take much away from my enjoyment.

I felt like this one went on too long. I can't get too much into what I did or didn't enjoy without spoilers, and I don't want to do those either. The ending is what earns the 3 stars from me. I liked the premise but didn't love this as much as her others.

Ahhhh the joy of reading a romantic yet anxiety inducing, lost-at-sea adventure on a snowy Saturday. 🚤

Beth O‘Leary is an auto read romance writer (I have several) for me. I really liked this one. A romance has to have conflict, and I did not anticipate the resulting conflict here - so points for that!
