Reverse by Kate StewartRockstar RomanceJuly 16, 2022Self-Published Review by Jen Kate Stewart is one of my fave authors. I LOVED the Ravenhood trilogy (one of my top reads of 2020), The Underdogs series and Drive. Reverse is the sequel to Drive. You must read Drive first, there just isn’t anyway for Reverse to really make sense without knowing that story. I read Drive years ago and the gist is, there’s a major angsty love triangle between Reid, Stella and Nate. Stella is a budding Continue Reading

Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Katherine Center and Claire Wilder
It’s beach read season! I have two amazing books- one that’s been out awhile and one that's new. A third book that was just really good. First up, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I LOVED this book! It was released in 2017, but has been enjoying some extra love lately because of Booktok and Reid’s more recent books. I bought this in 2019 and have no idea why it took me so long to read. Evelyn Hugo is a major Old Hollywood bombshell of an actress. She Continue Reading
This Week on TikTok
I hope everyone had a nice long holiday weekend and enjoyed their short work week. It’s been a LONG time since I’ve done a TikTok post. My summer got busy, my daughter is home from college, we got a new dog, yada…yada… Now I’m back. :). I’m almost done with Glow by Raven Kennedy. It’s book four in the Plated Prisoner series and it’s VERY SPICY. I’m also listening to a terrific murder mystery. I highly recommend The Patient’s Secret by Loreth Anne White!! #5 It’s been quite the few Continue Reading
Review: Every Summer After by Carley Fortune
Every Summer After by Carley FortuneComing of Age FictionMay 10, 2022Berkley Review by Jen How much did I love Every Summer After by Carley Fortune? To the moon and back. This book was SO good! It gave first love chills, brought back sweet memories of growing up, and special summers spent by the water. For me it was the ocean, for our heroine it was the lake. At age 13, Persephone (Percy) and her family get a cottage and spend every summer by the lake. Next door is Sam and his Continue Reading
Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Lydia Michaels and Meagan Brandy
Love Me Nots is the third book in the Jasper Falls series. It can be read as a standalone and I haven’t read or listened to the other two books. No issues catching up with characters or complicated backstories. Go for it! I must be on a small-town romance binge because this is the third one in a row for me- and they’ve all been excellent! Perrin is a small town bar owner. She and her sister own the business and Perrin has big plans to expand. She’s also had her fill of heartbreak Continue Reading
Review: Wicked Beauty by Katee Robert
Wicked Beauty by Katee RobertErotic Science Fiction & FantasyJune 7, 2022Sourcebooks CasablancaDreamscape Media, LLC Review by Jen This series by Katee Robert continues to absolutely delight me! I love this world. Book three, Wicked Beauty, stars Achilles, Patroclus, and Helen. Fair warning on two things- first, it most definitely takes major liberties with the traditional mythology around these characters. Inspired by Greek mythology, but that’s where it ends. And, it’s a Continue Reading

Audio Review: The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake
The Atlas Six by Olivie BlakeContemporary FantasyMarch 1, 2022Macmillan Audio Review by Jen First, I’m so excited that I found libro.fm because it’s a book site that supports independent booksellers. I love Amazon, but this was a nice find. The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake is a dark academia book that has been on my list for quite a while. It was a huge hit on booktok and was optioned by Amazon for a series. I ended up listening to this one and really enjoyed it! With that said, Continue Reading
