She's the One by Erin Nicholas6/23/2023 Mason is now wealthy and successful and a success with the ladies. When the farm’s owner died and left him the farm he was touched but it’s been two years since then and he still hasn’t been back. The few happy memories he does have are of working on a local farm after school and during the summers, getting his hands dirty growing things. He doesn’t have many fond memories of the town and hasn’t been back in the 11 years since he graduated. He had skipped two years of school and that, combined with his IQ was the kiss of death for him socially. He spent his high school years in Sapphire Falls, Nebraska, a town of about 1200 people. It was funny, sweet, sexy and just a little different. Getting Out of Hand turned out to be just what I was in the mood to listen to.

A frozen heart elizabeth rudnick6/23/2023 The story’s theme of true love (heads up, girls-true love means sacrifice) is a reinforcement of outdated stereotypes. Hans, whose manipulative behavior is explained by his repressive upbringing-a promising premise-never gets beyond one-dimensional, and Anna, with her vapid, textureless voice, is trite at best. Action scenes read as detached description, and there are more than a few plot inconsistencies. Told in alternating chapters and points of view between Hans and Anna, the story lurches along. Anna, however, thinks she’s found true love. Making his way there, he woos Anna by mistake. He finds his chance when he learns that Elsa will be crowned queen of Arendelle. Meanwhile Prince Hans of the Southern Isles, who has 12 older, bullying brothers, plots to get his own kingdom. Anna has no memory of the accident and no one enlightens her, so she spends the next 14 years wondering why her sister avoids her. As youngsters they are close, but an accident causes Elsa, the elder, to distance herself from Anna. Back story is explored in this novel based on Disney’s Frozen.Īnna and Elsa are princesses who live in Arendelle.
