Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Marni Mann, Rachel Kapelke-Dale and Claire Kingsley

December 23, 2022 by Jen Leave a Comment

I feel a bit out of practice with writing reviews. Its, unfortunately, been a busy few weeks. The good news is, I liked all three of these books. And they were VERY different stories.  First up, When Ashes Fall by Marni Mann. This book was heart breaking and inspired by a real life tragedy. Alix is a paramedic. She meets Dylan a wealthy owner of a private jet company and a pilot himself. Their romance is deep, all encompassing, not perfect, but beautiful. They get engaged and then Alix Continue Reading

December 15, 2022 by Angela 1 Comment

How the Grump Saved Christmas: A Small Town Romance by Claire KingsleyHoliday/Contemporary Romance11/17/2022 - Self PublishedKindle Unlimited Review by Angela I'm not a holiday romance reader at heart. I don't jump all over the holiday releases at the end of the year and if I DO pick one up it's because something in the title or blurb caught my eye, or the cover was appealing. In this case, I was intrigued by the title of this romance. How the Grump Saved Christmas is basically a Continue Reading

October 27, 2022 by Kate H. 1 Comment

The Rivals of Casper Road by Roan ParrishLGBTQ+ RomanceSept 27, 2022 by Harlequin Review by Kate H. I’ve been procrastinating on this review because I am a fan of Roan Parrish.  I love her Middle of Somewhere and Riven series, and I have enjoyed the Garnet Run books, set in one of those utopian small towns where half the population is queer and the other half is benign.  The third book in the series The Lights on Knockbridge Lane took Continue Reading
