Totally Folked is the first book in the Good Folk: Modern Folktales series, and it took me completely by surprise in the best possible way. The first book in a series usually sets the tone, and Totally Folked is far more entertaining than I expected.
It’s a good day whenever I get to spend time with the Shipleys. Waylaid is the latest book in Sarina Bowen’s True North series, and I’ve been waiting for Daphne Shipley’s story.
Exposed is another feather in Kristen Callihan’s cap. It’s the fourth book in her rock star romance series, and it well and truly satisfied my craving for more. We’re not only reunited with all the band members of Kill John and their significant others, but we get a love story for Rye, the bassist.
Deputy Sheriff Jackson James has been on the fringes of many Winston Brothers stories. He’s always seemed like such a great guy and has missed out on love, so when I heard he was getting his own book, Totally Folked, I was more than a little excited. Just Folking Around is the novella prequel. It’s a bit of a tease; an appetizer; an amuse bouche, if you will; a small taste of things to come. Spicy sexytimes things, if this book is any indication.
The Mixtape tugged on every single one of my heartstrings.
I really liked this second-chance bodyguard romance, but the audiobook narration for Code Name: Genesis took my enjoyment to the next level.
The Overdue Life of Amy Byler was a really witty and enjoyable read. As a mom myself, I recognized in Amy Byler the constantly frazzled state that comes from juggling the many needs of your children. I can only imagine how much more difficult it must be as a single parent. I admired how hard-working and resourceful Amy became after being abandoned by her deadbeat ex-husband. She is an expert juggler, and it is easy to see why a large part of her identity comes from being needed by her kids. The need to be needed is a key topic that is addressed in the story. Amy’s two girlfriends are a hoot, pushing her to let loose in New York City and giving her advice throughout the book. Her wicked sense of humor and exploration of the city are highly entertaining. Amy and Daniel, a fellow librarian, make a really cute couple, even if the romance aspect is a little on the bland side. I enjoyed all their dates and geeky book talk. The beginning of each chapter is a little treat featuring funny journal entries written by Amy’s teenage daughter. The Overdue Life of Amy Byler is an amusing book that […]
I kind of love that antsy feeling I get from forbidden office romances. While not my favorite baseball book of Meghan Quinn’s, I did appreciate the tension and the high stakes in The Perfect Catch. I’m torn between giving the book 3.5 or 4 stars.
Kennedy Ryan’s books have the power to not only entertain but to educate, and the same is true for Reel. I’ve been drawn to the arts my entire life, so I especially enjoyed this story that takes the reader on an emotional behind the scenes journey from Broadway to Hollywood.
With Malibu Rising, Taylor Jenkins Reid brings us another sweeping saga, this one spanning three decades and taking place along the gorgeous Pacific coastline now known for its rich and famous residents.
Getting a 5-star review from me these days is like drawing water from a stone. For Lucy, though, had me captivated from Chapter One, and I knew in my soul that I was on the road to 5 stars.
Let me start by saying I’m a fan of Meghan Quinn’s baseball series, and I still recommend it even though I was disappointed in The Setup. I enjoyed the start of the book very much. There is a lot of fun banter as well as the beginnings of a nice slow burn between Lincoln and Indie. I also liked their fun competitive nature and the mutual respect that only two young and gifted athletes could fully appreciate.
