Review: Chick Magnet by Emma Barry
Chick Magnet by Emma BarryContemporary RomanceJanuary 24, 2023, by MontlakeARC Review by Angela So, this was different from any book I've read recently.

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

In this case, I was intrigued by the title of this romance. How the Grump Saved Christmas is basically a Continue Reading
