Georgie, All Along by Kate ClaybornContemporary RomanceJanuary 31, 2023 by Kensington Review by Melanie There’s something so lyrical and almost poetic about Kate Clayborn’s prose that just immerses you in the world she creates, her words are lush and evocative, so full of vivid imagery that you can almost smell the air or feel the heat of a sun-warmed wooden dock under your feet.

Did I know what a chicken influencer was before I started to read? No. Do I know now? Why, yes. I also know more about chickens Continue Reading
Review: Do I Know You? by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka
Do I Know You? by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-BrokaContemporary RomanceJanuary 24, 2023 by Berkley Review by Melanie Romance novels tend to follow a set of pretty rigid rules. There’s of course the requirement for a HEA (Happily Ever After) or, at the very least, a HFN (Happy For Now). The driving force of the plot must center on a romantic relationship, the focus being on these main characters (human or otherwise, 2 or more) and the journey they take to get to their eventual Continue Reading

She meets Dylan a wealthy owner of a private jet company and a pilot himself. Their romance is deep, all encompassing, not perfect, but beautiful. They get engaged and then Alix Continue Reading
