Wow!! As a rule, I don’t read fantasy, but Amy Harmon makes it so delectable time and time again. Her words completely transported me to the world of Saylok. I loved being able to head back to this world, with the concurrent storyline to The First Girl Child. We were able to visit the characters…

Ahhh. That’s a sigh of happiness and contentment because Mia Sheridan filled my heart to the brim, yet again! Once I could find the time to settle my brain (and my kids!) and focus on reading, this book completely sucked me in. I didn’t want to put it down for a second, thanks to the…

Sugar Daddy – Review
That title threw me for a loop when I first read it. I would never be someone to read about girls with sugar daddies and be even remotely interested in that storyline. However, many of my favorite bloggers and bookstagrammers recommended this book and said not to judge it by its title. I searched my…

There are certain books that come along at the perfect time, exactly when you’re needing a pick-me-up, and The Witness was one of those books for me. I told my friend, Megan: @themoodymama.reads, I was in dire need of a five-star read. I was starting to feel one of the worst book slumps I’ve ever…
The Bromance Book Club – Review
