Five Stars HANA KHAN CARRIES ON by Uzma Jalaluddin is a DELIGHT. That’s it. That’s the review. Okay, just kidding! I have a lot more to say! I adored Ms. Jalaluddin’s Pride and Prejudice retelling debut last year, AYESHA AT LAST, so I was suitably excited for her sophomore novel. And boy, did it exceed … Continue reading Review: Hana Khan Carries On by Uzma Jalaluddin
Four Stars I’m going to confess, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen You’ve Got Mail all the way through but of course I know the romcom’s iconic premise! So when Lauren Layne announced a retelling with a starting an ultra-romantic champagne shop owning heroine, I knew TO SIR, WITH LOVE was going to be a … Continue reading Review: To Sir, With Love by Lauren Layne
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
Five Stars It's official, I've found one of my favorite books of the year! The second book in her Say Everything series, I am officially obsessed with the world Roni Loren has created.

DNF I really, really wanted to enjoy this book. I love paranormal romance - and a series starter involving shifter heroes is right up my alley! I tried multiple times to immerse myself in this world, including checking out the library audiobook, and failed each time. This book fell flat in execution for me. The … Continue reading Review: Big Bad Wolf by Suleikha Snyder
4.5 Stars I read this book last week and it took me this long to put my feelings in order because, y’all, I am soft. Roan Parrish hit all my “awww” spots with her latest release, BEST LAID PLANS. This is the second book in the Garnet Run series but I read it as a … Continue reading Review: Best Laid Plans by Roan Parrish

Five Stars Well, Beverly Jenkins has wrecked me. Honestly, I should just go in to any new Jenkins novel with my emotions braced for impact. On the surface, WILD RAIN follows a delightfully grumpy heroine who begrudgingly catches feelings for the sweet, kind man she saves in the middle of a winter storm (hello, forced … Continue reading Review: Wild Rain by Beverly Jenkins
4.5 Stars It’s official, Talia Hibbert writes the best character driven plots. If you, like me, loved the first two books in The Brown Sisters series, then you will simply adore ACT YOUR AGE, EVE BROWN. This book is almost entirely character driven, mostly because sparkly, effervescent Eve, and grouchy-yet-achingly-endearing Jacob don’t need much else but … Continue reading Review: Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert
Two Stars I am so, so sad this book didn't work for me! I am one of the biggest Christine Feehan fans, and I think Torpedo Ink is one of her best series. Sadly, RECKLESS ROAD did not live up to the standards I have come to expect from an installment in the Torpedo Ink … Continue reading Review: Reckless Road by Christine Feehan
