September 27, 2021 by Melinda 6 Comments

Lights on Knckbridge Lane by Roan ParrishContemporary Romance9/28/2021 by HarlequinARC Review by Melinda I love almost every book Roan Parrish writes, and this book is no exception with a few quibbles here and there. There’s a lot to like about this couple, Adam’s daughter Gus, and the town. But it didn’t work everywhere for me, As the third book in the Garnet Run series, I did feel like it would be easy to read this as a standalone, which is always important from a new reader POV. But Continue Reading

I’ve loved this series because it’s just been incredibly soapy with messy characters and complex family drama. I love that Synithia Williams has allowed her characters to be dramatic or troubled or overly angry because those kinds of Continue Reading
