4.5 Stars I wasn’t sure what to expect going into Nalini Singh’s first thriller, but I should have known I would absolutely love it. At this point, if she asked me if I would like to read her grocery list, I would say, “I adore groceries,” and read happily. While A MADNESS OF SUNSHINE is … Continue reading Review: A Madness of Sunshine by Nalini Singh
Four Stars Wow. TJ Klune is an undeniably gifted author. I plan on devouring his backlist like a big bag of potato chips! I went into UNDER THE WHISPERING DOOR completely blind, and I am so glad I did. The story Klune weaves features nuanced prose and undeniably beautiful characters into a hard-to-put-down and ultimately … Continue reading Review: Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune
Five Stars We need to have a conversation about HOW FREAKING GOOD THIS SERIES IS. A GOOD DAY FOR CHARDONNAY is the second book in Darynda Jones' Sunshine Vicram series. It’s part romance, part mystery, part comedy, and all freaking delightful! Sunshine Vicram is a quirky small-town police sheriff and single mom juggling a teenage daughter … Continue reading Review: A Good Day for Chardonnay by Darynda Jones
4.5 Stars Listen y’all, Christine Feehan has blown me AWAY. Okay, yes, I am a certified superfan, but MURDER AT SUNRISE LAKE is everything I didn’t know I needed in a thriller… from the queen of paranormal romance! I love that Ms. Feehan took a chance and wrote a standalone thriller. I couldn’t put it down! This … Continue reading Review: Murder at Sunrise Lake by Christine Feehan

The book is almost genre-less? It's a mix of mystery, general fiction, romance, a touch of YA, suspense... basically, … Continue reading Review: A Bad Day for Sunshine by Darynda Jones
3.5 Stars Wow, I have mixed feelings about this book. First off, this is not really a romance novel, I wouldn't really consider it to be a rom-com either. A couple is not at the center of this story and this book delves deep. It's not even a little bit fluffy. Even the humorous parts are … Continue reading Review: The Matchmaker List by Sonya Lalli
Three Stars I'm going to put this out there: I don't think Jennifer Miller or Jason Feifer have ever read a romance novel. I didn't hate this book, it's a slightly satiric, social commentary on dating and sex in New York City. It's general fiction. Which is fine. Just please don't label it a romance … Continue reading Review: Mr. Nice Guy by Jennifer Miller and Jason Feifer
I was excited to dive into The Paris Seamstress based on the synopsis and the great reviews I had read. I am usually a strict romance reader, but every once in a while I like to step out of my comfort zone. A sweeping historical fiction novel following two strong women, one a French seamstress … Continue reading Review: The Paris Seamstress by Natasha Lester
