Scenic Sunday- Wildfire by Ilona Andrews
Still counting down until the release of Ruby Fever! 3 more Sundays! Next week will start the Catalina/Alessandro lovefest, but first here is some more Nevada and Connor. I have several favorite scenes in this book... when Mad Rogan takes on the first Madero brother and after beating the crap out of him, warns him to forget Nevada's name. Of course, his family doesn't. This leads to one of my other favorite scenes... when Leon discovers what his magic is in the hospital parking lot. I even Continue Reading

Review: Reverse by Kate Stewart
Reverse by Kate StewartRockstar RomanceJuly 16, 2022Self-Published Review by Jen Kate Stewart is one of my fave authors. I LOVED the Ravenhood trilogy (one of my top reads of 2020), The Underdogs series and Drive. Reverse is the sequel to Drive. You must read Drive first, there just isn’t anyway for Reverse to really make sense without knowing that story. I read Drive years ago and the gist is, there’s a major angsty love triangle between Reid, Stella and Nate. Stella is a budding Continue Reading

Husband Material doesn’t feel like what one might expect from a romance novel, but it is still strongly focused on the relationship arc of the characters and ends with a happily ever Continue Reading
Review: Thank You for Listening by Julia Whelan
Thank You for Listening by Julia WhelanWomen's FictionAugust 2, 2022, by Avon Review by Melanie First, let's get this out of the way: I hate the term women’s fic. No need to dismissively label an entire genre just because it focuses on a female protagonist’s journey. Just call it fiction. We’re not going around labeling Franzen as men’s fic, are we? (Wait, ARE we?!?) So, yes, while I have labeled it as women’s fiction per the publishing industry standards, please let it be known that I Continue Reading
