Review: Hello Stranger by Katherine Center

July 14, 2023 by Jen

Hello Stranger by Katherine Center

Hello Stranger by Katherine CenterRomantic ComedyJuly 11, 2023St. Martin's Press Review by Jen It was maybe two years ago when Brad Pitt started talking about how he suffered from face blindness. Do you remember that? It’s a rare neurological disorder called, prosopagnosia. I had never heard of it before then. It’s when a person struggles to recognize people’s faces. Not like you can’t remember people…but you literally can’t see their face organized like a face. What does that have to Continue Reading

Review: You, with a View by Jessica Joyce

July 11, 2023 by Angela

You, with a View by Jessica JoyceContemporary RomanceJuly 11, 2023- BerkleyARC Review by Angela The blurb for this book does not do it justice. What might appear to be just a fun, enemies to lovers, road trip romance is really so much more. So, so much more. Noelle Shepard is unemployed and living with her parents, down in the dumps, and a little lost. She is still grieving over the death of her beloved grandmother when she comes across pictures of her with a man who isn't her Continue Reading

Review: From the Grave by Kresley Cole

July 7, 2023 by Jen

From the Grave by Kresley Cole

From the Grave by Kresley ColeYA Urban FantasyApril 18, 2023Valkyrie Press  Review by Jen I need to set this up for you. From the Grave by Kresley Cole is the final book in the Arcana Chronicles series. It’s book seven. This series was, for YEARS, my all-time favorite YA read. I was the BIGGEST FAN EVER. Every book had a major cliffhanger and I waited anxiously for the next one to drop. Book six had an especially huge ending and I was dying for book seven. I love the author and Continue Reading

Review: Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn Solomon

July 6, 2023 by Melanie

Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn SolomonContemporary RomanceJuly 4, 2023 by Berkley Review by Melanie This is the third Rachel Lynn Solomon contemporary romance I’ve read and I think that’s enough data to conclude that she’s now an auto-read author for me. Her voice is just a perfect blend of biting wit and vulnerable self-doubt, her characters are beautifully rendered with layers of complexity and the romance just feels like a punch to the solar plexus. There’s so much care taken, Continue Reading

Review: Role Playing by Cathy Yardley

July 5, 2023 by Melanie

Role Playing by Cathy YardleyContemporary RomanceJuly 1, 2023 by Montlake Review by Melanie This is now the second Cathy Yardley book I’ve read and I really have to make time in my reading schedule to dive into her backlist. Her voice is sharp and funny and I love how she writes her MCs and the way her characters communicate like adults, no game playing. Well, no mind games, at the very least. Her author’s voice really works for me and this book just hits perfectly on every Continue Reading
