Review: Lights on Knockbridge Lane by Roan Parrish
Lights on Knckbridge Lane by Roan ParrishContemporary Romance9/28/2021 by HarlequinARC Review by Melinda I love almost every book Roan Parrish writes, and this book is no exception with a few quibbles here and there. There’s a lot to like about this couple, Adam’s daughter Gus, and the town. But it didn’t work everywhere for me, As the third book in the Garnet Run series, I did feel like it would be easy to read this as a standalone, which is always important from a new reader POV. But Continue Reading
Review: Foolish Hearts by Synithia Williams
Foolish Hearts by Synithia WilliamsJackson Falls #4Contemporary RomanceAugust 24, 2021, by HarlequinARC Reviewer: Melinda Foolish Hearts is the 4th in the Jackson Falls series, it’s loosely tied to the previous books but it can stand alone without any issues.

I love that Synithia Williams has allowed her characters to be dramatic or troubled or overly angry because those kinds of Continue Reading

And then… there are the great romance novels: The ones that you find yourself Continue Reading

Review: Jagged by Lauren Dane
Jagged by Lauren Dane Whiskey Sharp #2 Publication Date: March 27, 2018 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Kini I read and reviewed the first book in this series, Unraveled, earlier this year and didn’t care for it. But I was very curious about Rachel's story. She was an interesting character in the first book. I was cautiously optimistic about this book and thought I would give it a try. I was quickly disappointed. I ended up not getting very far in the book. And here’s Continue Reading
