Review originally posted May 23, 2016 by Tori. Showmance by L.H. CoswayRomance ContemporaryMay 16, 2016Self Published Favorite Quote: “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is to just love and be loved in return.” Fans are sure to notice the deviation in plot and characterization that Cosway takes in her latest endeavor. Showmance is a sweet, sexy, mildly angst driven romance that perfectly showcases the allure of opposite attraction by slowing building a Continue Reading

Review: Left of Forever by Tarah DeWitt

May 21, 2025 by Melanie Leave a Comment

Left of Forever by Tarah DeWittContemporary Romance May 20, 2025, by St. Martin's Griffin Review by Melanie At some point, when I was reading this beautiful second chance romance, I started thinking about the reasons why I’m drawn to the romance genre so much. I’m almost exclusively a romance reader and the reason started to slowly dawn on me the deeper I got into the book. Romance is that rare genre built on the premise of hope. Think about it. You have two or more characters, human or Continue Reading
