I’m starting this review with a heavy blush! Whew, this book was a tad more smutty than I’m used to, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying this excellent story! After seeing this amazing interview with L.J. Shen, I had to read her book which had been sitting on my Kindle for far too long….

Unravel – Review
My friend, Talon, told me to read this book over a year ago and I finally decided it was time to get it in gear. I know I’m late to the game with this one, but I’m so happy I finally made the time to cross it off my TBR. Wow! Unravel, my second book…
The Light We See – Review
BLURB: From Carpinteria, California, we left. In Arizona, we barely spoke. In New Mexico, I gave him a promise that I knew I couldn’t keep. In Texas, we slept under the stars. In Oklahoma, he told me a story I wouldn’t soon forget. In Louisiana, he gave my soul a voice. Between Arkansas and Mississippi,…
Landon & Shay – Cover Reveal
Landon & Shay, an all-new emotional and touching duet from Brittainy C. Cherry is coming October 30th, and we have the gorgeous covers! Shay Gable hated my guts, and I hated hers, too. We went out of our way to avoid one another at all times. When she came my direction, I went the other….
Regretting You – Review
Thank you to Montlake Romance and Netgalley for the chance to read this book and to Colleen Hoover for acknowledging that orange is the worst color on the planet. With every Colleen Hoover book, I’m in awe. The readability alone is astounding, but I’m convinced no one sees the world quite like she does until…
Sweet Thing & Sweet Little Thing- Reviews
BLURB: “You have to teach your heart and mind how to sing together… then you’ll hear the sound of your soul.” Mia Kelly thinks she has it all figured out. She’s an Ivy League graduate, a classically trained pianist, and the beloved daughter of a sensible mother and offbeat father. Yet Mia has been stalling…
After the Rain – Review
“When we’re young, we want so badly to connect with others that we end up reflecting them, losing ourselves in the process.” I continued my Renee Carlino marathon with After the Rain, and like every book of Renee’s, I devoured this in no time. In many of her books, Renee dives deep into the grief…
Nowhere But Here – Review
I’m continuing to make my way through Renee Carlino’s backlist for my Beat the Backlist Challenge. I picked this one because the blurb sounded really exciting. A reclusive genius, sign me up! BLURB: A Chicago reporter in her mid-twenties unexpectedly finds love in Napa Valley when she’s assigned to spend a week with a famously…
Before We Were Strangers – Review
FINALLY! FINALLY – I understand the hype surrounding this book and I’m here to tell you it is warranted. I’ve had Before We Were Strangers on my TBR and Kindle for years but never made the time to read it. I’m kicking myself for my poor time management because I could have reread it by…
More Than We Can Tell – Review
Back in June, I read Letters to the Lost, the first book in this series by Brigid Kemmerer. When I realized there was a book about Rev, Declan’s best friend in Letters to the Lost, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. After our summer vacation, I requested this through Interlibrary loan and…
How to Walk Away – Review
After reading (and LOVING) Things You Save in a Fire on vacation this summer, I absolutely had to get my hands on How to Walk Away. Katherine Center’s writing is so incredible that everyone on Bookstagram is eagerly reading her backlist. The #FOMO is real! BLURB: Margaret Jacobsen has a bright future ahead of her: a fiancé…
The Last Post – Review
BLURB: See you on the other side. Laya Marston’s husband, Cameron, a daredevil enthusiast, always said this before heading off on his next adventure. He was the complete opposite of her, ready and willing to dive off a cliff-face, or parachute across a canyon—and Laya loved him for it. But she was different: pragmatic, regimented,…
Lilies on Main – Review
I’m so sad this series, in one of my favorite fictional worlds, has to come to a close, but I can’t think of a more perfect story to wrap this series up with. I’m so ridiculously proud of J. Lynn Bailey right now! She is what the world needs more of – goodness and light….
The Printed Letter Bookshop – Review
Many thanks to BookSparks for my copy of The Printed Letter Bookshop for the Read Around Town Challenge and Netgalley for my e-galley. What a cozy read this was! It was the perfect book to take with me on vacation, allowing me to easily imagine the quaint bookshop this story features. I wish I could…
Savaged – Review
I LOVED this book! I have to start off my review by saying that, in case my gushing from this point forward doesn’t convince you. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve read a Mia Sheridan novel, not because I haven’t wanted to, but my reading life has been more hectic than ever. Usually,…
F*ck Marriage – Review
You guys have heard me gush about Tarryn Fisher’s books for quite a while now (that’s an understatement). She was one of the first authors I discovered when I started reading avidly again and quickly became my favorite. She has a way of injecting wisdom into every book in a unique way I’ve never experienced…
Maybe Maby – Review
Willow Aster’s Maybe Maby has been on my to-read list for a long, long time. I finally felt the need to dive into this story and I can’t say how glad I am that I did! I didn’t know much about this story going into it. Only the line, “I’m having a meltdown” and that…
Eleanor & Grey – Review
No matter how swamped I become in my reading and reviewing schedule, I will forever continue to make time for Brittainy C. Cherry’s books, even if I have to stay up all night to read. She writes one emotional hit after the next, each one better than the last. Right now I can’t possibly imagine…
You’d Be Mine – Review
Many thanks to Wednesday Books and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. BLURB: Annie Mathers is America’s sweetheart and heir to a country music legacy full of all the things her Gran warned her about. Superstar Clay Coolidge is most definitely going to end up one of those things. But unfortunately for Clay,…
The Girl He Used to Know – Review
Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book. It was a delight to read The Girl He Used to Know by Tracy Garvis Graves with my friend, Jennifer the Tar Heel Reader. Jen is a fantastic book reviewer, great photographer, and all around pleasant and thoughtful person. I’m…
