Happy Friday, book lovers! First Line Fridays is hosted by Hoarding Books. I’ve been MIA since I’ve been buried in work this week, but I’m crawling out to share one of my favorite first lines. It’s from Transcend by Jewel E. Ann. She really knows how to hook a reader, and this mind-bending story is well worth the read.

Review: Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family by Omid Scobie & Carolyn Durand
My opinion of Finding Freedom, in short: excellent fact checking, mediocre writing. I’m a firm Sussex supporter. The charitable endeavors by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, their obvious love for each other, and their warm demeanor quickly made me a fan. Even I have to admit, though, that the writing in this book is saccharine. Nobody is as perfect as Meghan is depicted.
Review: The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker
After the longest dry spell, I finally found the perfect book for me at just the right time. I swear the planets aligned and angels sang. I could not sleep until I finished The Simple Wild, and when I reached the end at 4:30 am I had the goofiest smile on my face.
First Line Friday: August 14, 2020
Happy Friday, book lovers! First Line Fridays is hosted by Hoarding Books. Today, I’m featuring Some Sort of Crazy by Melanie Harlow. It’s one of the first book of hers I read and it’s cute, funny, and sexy! This is one first line that really hooked me.
Audiobook Review: Dear Enemy by Kristen Callihan
Dear Enemy, as the title suggests, is an enemies to lovers story. The romance is of the slow burn variety that I always enjoy.

Review: Exodus by Kate Stewart
Oh man. Exodus, the conclusion of The Ravenhood Duet, is every bit the dark and twisted rollercoaster it is billed to be. Full disclosure: dark romances are hit or miss for me. I connect with some more easily than others. This one left me feeling too raw, too mentally and emotionally exhausted — with not enough payoff.

Audiobook Review: Baking Me Crazy by Karla Sorensen
I was hesitant when I found out about this new series of books penned by various authors and set within Penny Reid’s book universe—-specifically in the Green Valley town that is home to the Winston brothers. I wasn’t sure another author could do justice to the kooky but heartwarming vibe I’d grown to love. Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit if Baking Me Crazy didn’t make me a believer.
