Review: Just Right

Just Right book cover on blue background

Continuing on with some light-hearted novellas, A.M. Heath released Just Right a little earlier this year, which is a fun retelling of Goldilocks, complete with some unexpected houseguests. Though I read it a while back, its cute premise fits in with the Restful August Challenge theme!

Book Synopsis

Meeting just the right guy would have been easy … if she hadn’t dated his older brother first.

Georgia Quinn has two jobs, a decaying house, and a timid roommate. Everything changes when she discovers her roommate’s two brothers secretly staying in her house while she’s at work. If that isn’t bad enough, one brother is her ex-boyfriend and the other is her newest crush. And now they all want to stay with her.

Matthew Bruin finally meets the perfect girl for him … until he learns that she’s his brother’s ex. Stepping aside would be easier if Rex wasn’t asking for his help in winning Georgia back.

With the four of them living under one crumbling roof, there’s plenty that can go wrong, but is there anything that can go just right?

Book Thoughts

This was an adorable story between Georgia and Matthew where Georgia ends up with the brother that is just right for her. A comical and creative retelling of Goldilocks, this was a fun read that showed the dilemma between picking from good enough and the best. The antics that Georgia got herself into were quite funny, and Matthew’s responses were just as charming and thoughtful.

A.M. Heath has a knack for writing love triangles that don’t make readers cringe, which I truly appreciate. Rather than drawing out the suspense for long periods, the author instead uses it to help characters better understand who they are and who they want to be with. If you’re looking for a short novella that offers an adorable meet cute and a quirky family to boot, Just Right is the right book to pick up.

Review: Anytime - Mayberry University #3

This is it! Anytime by Kristina Welch is the third book in the Mayberry University series where we get to encounter students with a heart for Jesus and a passion to serve Him wherever He calls them. In this opposites attract new adult romance, we meet Janie and Mav who are like day and night in their personalities and temperaments in every way, except in their love for God. Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Content to be aware of: While Anytime could be read as a standalone, this is a heads up that there is a lot of terminology that is dependent on the previous books, especially around the university itself with all of the lingo and the nicknames for the characters. A man's shirt is also removed and there is talk of skimpy clothing. Book Synopsis Rigid productivity queen, meet prank-loving chaos monger. Can he wait for God to lead the way? Can she stop trying to map it all out...

Review: The Echoes of Eden

Readers looking for a book that asks questions about the origin of the world and its intended culmination will find much to ruminate on in The Echoes of Eden by R.J. Stevens . It is a philosophical and theological treat to think through the Christian worldview in this ordered and sequential analysis that moves from Genesis to Revelation. Ideal for personal study or group study, there is a devotional component to this book that allows readers to dive into the material more deeply. Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Please note that the author of this work has the same name as another author of romance novels, but are two different people. Book Synopsis "Before you were born, the Echoes of Eden were calling your name." In an age where truth feels negotiable, goodness subjective, and purpose self-constructed, we still sense a quiet longing for a world that was once whole and coherent. The...
