My love for Alyssa Cole is well established and I truly think she can write anything but this book blew me away! I know people are going to say wow this book is so timely…and yes; it’s so timely - but not because of the massive protests happening this summer, or the micro and macro aggressions that are being filmed and rightly passed around, or the horrors of police brutality, but because racial injustice and inequality has always been timely in America. What made this Continue Reading

Review: Better Than People by Roan Parrish
Roan Parrish writes some of the best mental health rep there is in all of romance and Better Than People is no exception. The meet cute in this book is super cute as Jack has an accident in the beginning of this and needs to find someone to exercise is sizable dog pack - and one cat - for him.

One of my only quibbles with Continue Reading

DNF Friday- Four Titles I Started but Didn’t Finish
I am pretty selective about the books I read and over the years have really been able to identify books that will most likely work for me. I don't take a lot of chances any more. But even when I pick books I am pretty sure I am going to like them, but these four books did not work for me. And that is okay. Not every book has to be for every one. The Rakess by Scarlett Peckham- I had such high hopes for this book. It seemed like several of my friends were RAVING about it. But I resisted it Continue Reading

Also, I want to get caught up on reviews. I've read/DNFed several books and I want to Continue Reading
