What Somebody to Love is about:
Having to fend for herself financially for the first time in her life, Parker signs on as a florist's assistant and starts to find out who she really is. Maybe James isn't the glib lawyer she always thought he was. And maybe the house isn't the only thing that needs a little TLC .
2012 belonged to Jill Shalvis, but 2013 will be the year of Kristan Higgins my friends!!!! Holy moly, have I been living under a rock?? I'm so glad that I checked out two of Kristan's books over the holidays and that I decided to sit down early Sunday morning with this one. I read ALL morning long and if you were able to see my face I'm sure everyone would have been laughing at my expressions!! One minute I'm smiling like a dork, the next I'm crying, and before you know it I'm laughing, sighing, and basically just loving every single minute of this sweet, smart, romantic book!! I so loved Parker and all of her baggage, and James....be still my heart!!
Recommend? YES. YES. YES. If you like funny, sassy, smart characters with a lot of heart and flaws too, then this is an author that you must read. Seriously.
Reason for reading it? Because I've been following Jill Shalvis and Kristan Higgins Man Wars on Facebook and I've been meaning to read one of Kristan's books at some point.

Kristan Higgins *always* makes me laugh out loud. She's so funny! One of my favorite authors. Glad you discovered her!
ReplyDeleteWow, and I still haven't made time for Jill Shalvis yet! LOL
ReplyDeleteIs this a new Higgins? I don't think I have read it yet but I could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn I'd read this author but it doesn't look like I have. I need to remedy that!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Kristan Higgins before - will need to check her out!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhhh checking her out now!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love books that take me on emotional roller coaster rides. And you've made me really curious about James!
ReplyDeleteAwww sounds cute :D
ReplyDeleteOh, how I love to read your reviews! You are too funny.
ReplyDeleteYou've done it again - you made me check my library's catalog for Kristan Higgins. They have her - yeah - and now I can get in on all this laughing and sighing too.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited that you loved Somebody to Love Staci. Kristan Higgins and Jill Shalvis are two of my favourite contemporary authors and I'm always confident that I'll love stories. Two of my favourite of Kristan's novels are Catch of the Day and All I Ever Wanted. I hope you get to read some more of Kristan's backlist.
ReplyDeleteKristan is visiting Australia in March for the RWA Conference which will be about an hour away from where I live so I'm hoping like crazy that I can get to Brisbane to say 'g'day' to Kristan....although more likely I'll just mumble about like a silly fan girl!
LOL, I love that you have authors that take the year for you!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've read Kristin, but know with your enthusiastic reviews I will be soon. I have 2 of Jill's books on my stack due to your loving them.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to give her a try.
ReplyDeleteAack! This is another author that I haven't tried yet but absolutely must! In fact, 2013 WILL be the year that I try this author AND Shalvis. LOL! I'm adding this one to the TBR list right now!!
ReplyDeleteI have several of her books on my shelves now I just need to find the time to read them!
ReplyDeleteFab review, I'm meeting Kristan in March and I'm just a bit excited!! I'm sooo reading this one next :))
ReplyDeleteI like her books too - this one was great!
ReplyDeleteGeez! You really know how to talk up a book! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Joy. Your enthusiasm is quite contagious! I've never read either of these romance authors, but I'm about ready to give them both a try. Thanks for the recommendations. :)
