One, I’m a busy executive trying to climb the corporate ladder. Two, my ex is still my dad’s right-hand man in the shop. And I am not over him. Nothing has changed at the Burlington shop. Auden still has his infuriatingly sexy Scottish accent. He’s still hot, and still stubborn. Between operating the antique press with his shirtsleeves rolled up, and moonlighting at Burlington’s hottest inclusive wine bar, he pushes every one of my attraction buttons. My falling-in-love-again buttons, Continue Reading
Review: Where There’s a Kilt, There’s a Way by Ella Stainton
Where There's a Kilt, There's a Way by Ella StaintonKilty Pleasures #2March 23, 2021 by Carina PressHistorical/Paranormal Mystery Reviewed by Kate Where There's a Kilt, There's a Way was not what I was expecting at all, based on the description and being labeled as a romance. It was disappointing to me as a reader, but I think that if you know what you're getting into, it could be an enjoyable reading experience. If it isn't a romance, what kind of book is Where There's a Kilt, There's Continue Reading
Jen’s Mini-Reviews: Reviews for Books by Sarah J. Maas, V.E. Schwab, Ilsa Madden-Mills and H. Hunting
I’ve read and/or listened to several books in recent weeks and thought a quick round up would be perfect. Two of these are WAY hyped and absolutely delivered for me. Two are sports romances that I adored, and one is an unfortunate DNF. Here we go… Hyped and Loved A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas was a super A+ awesome read. This entire series is all over TikTok and I feel like I’ve found my tribe. The ACOTAR books started as fun, adventurous YA reads with romance, but now have Continue Reading
Melinda’s Minis: All the Missing Pieces by Julianna Keyes and To Be With You by Jodie Slaughter
All the Missing Pieces by Julianna KeyesRomantic Suspense/Mystery ThrillerSeptember 21, 2020 Review by Melinda I've read this author before in more of a straight up contemporary romance genre so I was really interested in reading this but throughout the whole book I was unsure if this was romance or suspense so I kept thinking HEA or NO!?! Let me put your mind at ease that there *is* an HEA! Reese was a spoiled rich girl whose life got turned upside down when her father was sent to prison Continue Reading
The Psy/Changeling Channel: Caressed by Ice
Melinda: We’re back with a completely new dynamic to explore this time around with Caressed by Ice and I know that we’ve both been really excited to get into this one! The first two books of the series featured male alpha changelings with female Psy but this time we get Judd, an emotionally closed off Psy, and Brenna, a volatile and strong changeling woman. I would not have described either of these two as gentle or easygoing...and yet. Melanie: Judd!!!! I remember loving this book back when Continue Reading
Review: When Tara Met Farah by Tara Pammi
When Tara Met Farah by Tara PammiBollywood Dance & Drama Society Book 1Contemporary RomanceJanuary 26, 2021 Review by Melanie A little bit about me before I delve into this review. I don’t DNF books lightly. In fact, I do everything in my power to resist DNF’ing a book. Ironically, I advise people to DNF on the regular because life is too short to force yourself to read a book that isn’t working for you. But rarely do I ever take that advice for myself. Having said all that, I almost Continue Reading
This Week on TikTok

This one cracks me up! And this trend of showing your newborn baby vs now. So cute! This guy. He's so Continue Reading
TikTok Made Me Read It: A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair
My newest obsession is BookTok. If you’re not on TikTok, this is a category you can search on the app and you will find tons of videos from creators talking about all things books. They recommend series, act out scenes, swoon over book boyfriends, show off amazing bookshelves + "shelfies" and even warn you about which books don’t live up to the hype. I LOVE IT. I get lost in the dance videos. Then, I found BookTok and it took my love up a notch. I never post, only lurk, and I Continue Reading

One of these days, your cockiness is gonna backfire, and if it doesn’t get you killed, I’ll do it.” “You’ll be standing in a long line,” he murmured. Reading the latest SPI Files novel is like visiting old friends. I have been reading Lisa Shearin's books for over a decade now - starting with her Raine Benares novels, Continue Reading
