Book Review: Toe the Line by Penelope Ward

My thoughts: One thing about Penelope Ward is that she ALWAYS delivers! I read this book in four hours after a book slump and now I’m in a book hangover. This book had all the old school angst and feels that I ABSOLUTELY love and these characters will stay with me for a long time. So sad this book is […]

Book Review: The Black Queen by Jumata Emill

This post contains affiliate links. My thoughts: As a seasoned thriller reader, I just knew I had this plot figured out and I was so wrong. I did kinda call one person as sketchy and I was slightly right. Give a dog a bone here. 🤣🥴 Duchess faced several challenges because her dad was the first Black Police Chief and […]

Book Review: Jackal by Erin E. Adams

My thoughts: Jackal started off strong and then it lost me. There was a lot going on at times and then nothing at all. The book did take on an unexpected angle towards the end and I’m not really sure what the author was trying to do. This book does discuss social themes, but I did have a hard time […]

Audiobook Review: Season of Love by Helena Greer

My thoughts:  This holiday romance wasn’t just fluff and at times it dealt with heavy trauma from both characters. There were some funny moments as well to balance out the heaviness at times. Noelle & Miriam are such opposites, but it works and I enjoyed how their relationship progressed. I’m really hoping we get Hannah and Levi’s story soon. I […]

Book Review: Pen Pal by J.T. Geissinger

My thoughts: As a seasoned romance reader I went into this story just knowing how it was going to play out and I was so wrong. This story had me all over the place and the second twist just about did me in and I had to stop reading. If you can’t do what Aidan did for Kayla for me […]

Book Review: Lavender House by Lev AC Rosen

Thank you Forge Books for my finished copy. My thoughts: When I first started this book I didn’t think I would be able to finish as it had a slow start. So I took a break and restarted it a few weeks later and I ended up really enjoying this story. I did call the killer, but the motive caught […]
