I missed out on A Sweet Mess, book one in this series by author Jayci Lee, but I had no problems jumping into The Dating Dare. There’s almost instant attraction between beer brewer Tara Park and fashion photographer Seth Kim when the encounter each other at Tara’s best friend’s wedding. Tara has sworn off real […]
In they Key of Family is the first book that I’ve read by Makenna Lee, and I was blown away. I enjoyed everything about this book so much that I’m sharing an excerpt from chapter 1. Stick around after the excerpt for my review. In the Key of Family – Excerpt Makenna Lee Alexandra Roth […]
I’ve really enjoyed every Sarah Morgan book that I’ve read, and The Summer Seekers was no exception. Focusing on an 80-year-old mother and her only child, with a nice helping of a 25-year-old woman who comes along for the literal ride, this novel was heartfelt, emotional, fun, and a fantastic road trip novel all in […]
I haven’t read a collection of short stories in a really long time. When the chance to read the nineteen-story anthology from Mystery Writers of America authors, When a Stranger Comes to Town, popped up, I eagerly downloaded the book from Netgalley. With many authors–both well-known and newer to the mystery genre–each contributing a story […]
Maisey Yates’ books always feel like home to me–like I’m there with friends and family from page one. I always enjoy how the author weaves together several characters’ stories into one cohesive narrative in the end, and Confessions from The Quilting Circle was no exception. In this novel, we get to know a mother, Mary, […]
The Bookstore on the Beach is my first Brenda Novak novel, and I enjoyed the different storylines and dramas that interwove throughout. Featuring three generations of women in one family, this book follows their dramas, the fears, and their high points over a summer on the beach in North Carolina. Grandmother Mary owns a bookstore […]
Adele Parks is back in the United States with her latest release, Just My Luck. I’ve come to know Adele Parks for her use of unreliable narrators, and this one was chock full of them. Lexi and Jake have played the same lottery numbers for years, along with pooling money together for the tickets […]
I really loved the first book in the Cape Sanctuary series, The Sea Glass Cottage, and I think I loved the second installment even more. The Path To Sunshine Cove hit all the right romance buttons for me: emotional, romantic, relatable and unique characters, but above all heart-hurting backstories with moments of brightness and hopefulness. […]
Allison Brennan isn’t a new-to-me author, having read Love Me To Death and Notorious in the past and enjoyed both of these books. The second installment in the Quinn & Costa Thriller series is Tell No Lies. Focusing on a mobile FBI unit as they investigate the murder of a college student and illegal […]
It’s been a few years since I’ve read a Peter Swanson novel, and I really enjoyed Her Every Fear. Before She Knew Him was an equally enjoyable psychological thriller with intriguingly flawed characters playing a deadly game of cat and mouse. Henrietta and Lloyd have just moved to the suburbs of Boston, and they meet their […]
My first Sarah Pinborough book was Cross Her Heart, and I enjoyed it, marking her as an author to definitely read in the future. Her latest release, Dead to Her, is very different from the book that I’d read, and I mean that in a good way. Deliciously ambiguously motivated characters are favorites of […]
Romantic suspense is my favorite genre at the moment, and when it features a smart, brave, and successful woman in a STEM field in the leading role, I’m all in. Avery is an engineer in the oil business, and she’s called in at the last minute to work along the US-Mexico border. She’s used […]
Psychological thrillers–ones whose tensions skyrocket the longer you make your way toward the end, and the characters growing more desperate for answers and scared for their lives and their situation. Those are my favorite suspense filled novels, and Victoria Helen Stone’s novel False Step is a perfect example of this type of book. […]
