New Release Review: For Lucy by Jewel E. Ann
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.
Genre: Romance
Review: The Setup by Meghan Quinn
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.
Review: People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry
After reading People We Meet on Vacation, one thing is clear: I need a getaway, stat. I was left with a smile on my face and a dozen travel destination tabs open on my browser by the end of the book.
Audiobook Review: This Is Not How It Ends by Rochelle B. Weinstein
I typically don’t care for love triangles and the drama that comes with them. Crushed souls and occasional instances of cheating aren’t my idea of fun. However, This Is Not How It Ends was a Kindle Unlimited Read and Listen for Free title, and I had a few hours of listening time at my disposal while I worked on a home project, so I figured what the heck. Long story short, even though it went against my instincts, I decided to give the audiobook a try. The verdict: not half bad.
Audiobook Review: The Devil Wears Black by L.J. Shen
The Devil Wears Black is an enemies to lovers romantic comedy that is miles away from L.J. Shen’s norm, and it’s a welcome surprise. This author is an expert when it comes to addictive enemies turned lovers stories. She has a special knack for creating truly despicable, horrible antiheroes that are easy to hate and, astonishingly enough, most of the time I reluctantly grow to love them. When all is said and done, her tales are angst fests that leave this drama queen exhausted and satisfied. I have never ever EVER known her to write anything remotely lighthearted. Until now. Even the cover is playful. I mean, how cute is this?
Audiobook Review & Excerpt: Bombshells by Sarina Bowen
Sarina Bowen delivers another hit in her long-running Brooklyn Bruisers/Brooklyn series. Bombshells spins something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue into a delightful sports romance.
Audiobook Review: Make it Sweet by Kristen Callihan
Make it Sweet is a charming love story with a touch of heat. A heartbroken famous actress meets a grumpy former hockey star when both seek refuge in an idyllic California villa. There’s very little drama and nothing particularly remarkable about the story, but the delightful characters and the setting make it entertaining throughout.
Review: Hard to Lose by K. Bromberg
Hard to Lose just may be my favorite book in K. Bromberg’s Play Hard series, and it is in large part due to the male lead who is guaranteed to win your heart.
Audiobook Review: Not My Romeo by Ilsa Madden-Mills
I was so certain I would love this book based on the meet cute alone. The case of mistaken identity on a Valentine’s Day blind date is so witty. I was immediately intrigued by Elena, the sexy librarian, and to a lesser degree, Jack, the NFL quarterback embroiled in scandal.
Review: Marriage and Murder by Penny Reid
Marriage and Murder is the second book in the Solving for Pie series, and while it is loosely tied to the first book, it can be read as a standalone. Readers of the Winston Brothers series may enjoy it more though.
Review: Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert
What an unexpected delight! I indulged in page after charming page of Act Your Age, Eve Brown and came away a supremely satisfied reader.
Release Blitz & Review: Hard to Score by K. Bromberg
Hard to Score is the third book in the Play Hard series and I’m really enjoying getting to know the four Kincade sisters.
