Review: A Show for Two by Tashie Bhuiyan
A Show for Two by Tashie BhuiyanYoung Adult May 10, 2022, by Inkyard Press Review by Melanie I don’t read a whole lot of YA but Tashia Bhuiyan’s voice really speaks to me and she is quickly becoming an auto-read author for me. I adored her debut, Counting Down with You (you can read my review here), and this book, while dealing with topics that seem a bit heavier than the previous book, is also delightful and romantic. As Tashie explains in her author’s note at the end of the book, Continue Reading
Review: The Wedding Crasher by Mia Sosa
The Wedding Crasher by Mia SosaContemporary RomanceApril 5, 2022, by AvonARC Review by Angela This was one of my most anticipated releases in 2022. The first book featuring this cast of characters, The Worst Best Man, cracked me up. Seriously, I was laughing out loud at work and sneak reading between clients. I could not put it down. Inject that kind of romantic comedy straight into my veins. The Wedding Crasher features Solange Pereira and Dean Chapman, cousin to the FMC and best Continue Reading

Guest Author- Runaway Heroines in Historical Romance by Constance Kersaint
I never ran off with the bad boy, which comes more from a lack of inclination than anything else. Also, growing up, every boy I knew went to my church. I understand why a person would want to though. Who hasn’t had that day when you look around and go, “I’ve got to get away.” That’s why when I find a book where the heroine takes off with the bad boy, I’m hooked. I connect with the heroine right away because I grew up in a small town and constantly dreamed of running off. When she Continue Reading

Review: Birds of California by Katie Cotugno
Birds of California by Katie CotugnoContemporary RomanceApril 26, 2022, by Harper Perennial Review by Kate H. I had to go back and re-read the blurb for Birds of California about halfway through because this is one of those cases where the marketing and the content don’t match. The promotional material refers to it as a “whip smart romantic comedy.” Whip smart, I will give it, but romantic comedy? No. Birds of California is a novel Continue Reading
