Book Review: The Push by Ashley Audrain

This post contains affiliate links. I have to say this book is very addictive and I couldn’t stop reading once I started. The author held no punches when it comes to motherhood and this book got very dark at times. After a certain event in the story it did lose a little steam for me, but I had to see […]

Book Review: One Of The Good Ones by Maika Moulite & Maritza Moulite

This post contains affiliate links. From the author’s note: “One of the good ones” is usually code for a person our country seems worthy. That importance is usually tied to level of education, income, class, zip code, gender identity and sexual orientation. If most or all of those acceptable boxes are checked, then we care. This right here!!! EVERY time […]

Blog Tour: One Week Husband by Lauren Blakely

This post contains affiliate links. My thoughts: After reading One Exquisite Touch, I couldn’t wait to read more about Daniel, in One Week Husband. Daniel and Scarlet are business partners who have good chemistry, fun banter and you can cut the sexual tension with a knife. This book wasn’t all just fun and games as we learn Daniel’s backstory and […]

Book Review: Muted by Tami Charles

Thank you Scholastic Inc for my free finished copy. This book was SO heavy. I was not prepared for this book to punch me in the gut the way it did. 🥺 Not at all. Also if you’re a fan of audiobooks I recommend listening to the audio as well. In typical fashion I forgot I pre-ordered the audio so […]

Review: My Anti-Valentine by Danielle Allen

My thoughts: I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day so this book was right up my alley. As usual Danielle Allen didn’t disappoint. My only complaint that this story wasn’t long enough. I do hope we get a full length novel with Alyssa and Emmanuel in the future. They had fun banter, good communication skills and smoking hot chemistry. […]

Book Review: Black Buck by Mateo Askaripour

My thoughts: “I didn’t want to start my career, especially as the only Black person in the room, as some wind-up monkey that would bang his cymbals whenever white people wanted him to.” This!!!! As someone who has been the only Black person in an all white office environment, I definitely related to this book as far as the frustration […]

Book Review: How To Catch A Queen by Alyssa Cole

Thank you Avon Books for my finished copy. Shanti’s goal in life is to become a Queen. Sanyu doesn’t want to be King, but as the sole heir to the throne he has no choice. These two made quite a pair. I liked both characters individually, but it did take me longer to feel their connection as a couple. I […]

Book Review: Layla by Colleen Hoover

Thank you Amazon Publishing for my review copy. My thoughts: I’m a picky reader in general and even harsher critic when it comes to my paranormal reads. As much as I wanted to like this story, it just didn’t work for me. I saw all the “shocking twists” a mile away and called them before the book was over. I […]

Book Review: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson

Thank you to Amazon Vine & Delacorte Press for my review copy. My thoughts: I was really enjoying this story and then they had to go and kill the dog, Barney. I felt it was so unnecessary and wasn’t needed in the story at all. Even with the death of Barney, I continued with the story because I HAD to […]
