![]() Hallie fell in love with Julian in high school and hasn’t quite let go of that almost kiss in his family’s vineyards. ![]() In Secretly Yours, readers are introduced to Hallie Welch, a local landscape artist and business owner, and Julian Vos, a professor on leave who has come home to some peace and quiet while he writes a novel. Alas, while I did enjoy this book and plan to read the next installment in the series, it did not have the same level of magic as some of this author’s previous releases. ![]() I wanted this to have the same magic as It Happened One Summer and Hook, Line, and Sinker– which were both 5-star, A+ reads for me. I started and stopped this book multiple times before I finally finished it after the news from Harpercollins Union that they had reached an agreement and it was okay to post reviews for their books again. ![]()

My issue with this sort of title is similar. ” In her husband’s lengthy phrase, Terri senses the quality of slurred speech. ![]() Terri, unwitting literary critic, queen of my heart! I share her annoyance whenever I see a title like, “What We Talk About When We Talk About. Don’t talk like you’re drunk if you’re not drunk.” As Mel launches into an anecdote, he says, “it ought to make us ashamed when we talk like we know what we’re talking about when we talk about love.” Immediately, Terri says: “Come on, now. Mel and Terri have been together for a while, and by now, their unhappiness peeks through their heroic courtship story.

Sometimes, it's true that people don't see what they need. Instead, they insist multiple times that their partner has no idea what they actually need in a way that denies them their experiences, feelings, and perspectives. Luna and Rip don't give each other what they say they need. this story acts as validation for the resulting abusive behavior in the victims, and I just can't feel supportive of it. Yes, people who grow up in dysfunctional families tend to act like this. However, the realism doesn't really add to the overall value of the story. ![]() The two main characters participate in some highly dysfunctional behavior, then try to rationalize that behavior in a way that perpetuates it, rather than identifying it as manipulative and destructive. I like Zapata's ruministic style of writing, but this story was a miss for me. ![]() |
