I've had a bit of trouble keeping my reviews up lately (4 1/2 months pregged...), but I have been pleasantly surprised by a few review books I have received and want to make sure they get their moments of fame.
The first pleasant surprise is Spare Change, a perfectly clean grown-up romance.
Riley is sick of making New Year's resolutions she doesn't keep. So, when her mom forces the family (again) to make them, she decides to do something really easy. She'll simply gather her spare pennies throughout the year and do something fun with them at the year's close.
However, working at a cancer treatment center gives her a new idea. She'll donate the pennies to cancer research. Riley tries to keep her goal a secret, but pretty soon the whole town is contributing to her fund.
During the process, Riley finds love. Will it be the cranky bank teller or the mysterious poem-writing secret admirer?
Spare Change was a pleasant surprise for a few reasons. 1. It's perfectly clean, which, let's be honest, when you just pick up a random book with no previous knowledge of it, that is unlikely. 2. The characters are well-developed. 3. The story has multiple levels that come together to make a great, fun romance. 4. If it wasn't getting so cold already, I'd say it is a perfect pool-side read. :)

Emily, this is Brandi Z. I noticed you have a blog and was wondering if you would let me take a peak... if that's alright with you. My email address is [email protected]. Thanks!
This one sounds like fun! I'm glad I found this site. I got here via Good Reads, but I will definitely be back for more. I have some book reviews on my site too.
