Re-reading is also reading

I have been struggling to concentrate on new books, so I started my new year with what feels like a re-read marathon. Who have not had crippling anxiety in the face of new books and authors, longing for the comfort of the familiar?

Here are some of the re-read reviews:


The Wedding NightThe Wedding Night by Kati Wilde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An unexpected find

This book was a true hidden gem. Its unexpected storyline evokes enough emotions and builds up tension. Although the timeline is short, the characters and relationships are well developed.

The book kept me engaged until the end, and after reading it, I was left with a smile and a lighter heart.

Buy this happy hot read!

Conquered (Triple Canopy #6)Conquered by Riley Edwards
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An emotional read from start to finish

The 6th book in the Triple Canopy series packs an emotional wallop.

Dylan and Sawyer's story gave me a book hangover like no other. The two main characters have a lot of emotional baggage to work through before their HEA.

The book takes us on a journey with raw emotion, heaps of sweetness, off the charts hotness, and the comfort found in your chosen family. The action-adventure took more of a backseat in this book. However, Dylan still scores very high on the protective hero chart, especially as he is protective of Sawyer's emotional well being (rather than physical well being) in this book.

Dylan has held himself apart from his colleagues and friends for a long time, sharing minimal personal history and refraining from connecting emotionally. The crush between Sawyer and Dylan comes to a head, but with disastrous consequences...copious amounts of alcohol, memory loss and saying the wrong thing has Dylan grovelling for redemption.

I loved the humour and chemistry of our couple, but it is the family pulling them in that is the greatest. Read the book, and you will understand how precious this quote is: "I will fight you for her." Matrons for the win...mamma bears in action.

Read in April 2022 and January 2025.
