Review: Devil of Dublin by BB Easton
Devil of Dublin by BB EastonMafia Romance/Gothic RomanceSeptember 22, 2022Art by Easton Review by Jen When I think of BB Easton, I immediately go to the Netflix series, Sex/Life. I realize she's written MANY books, but this is always my first thought. I started watching the series with my husband, and just couldn’t stick with it. The eyeball rolls from the hubs were just too much to take for me. Although, there is that one scene. If you know, you know ;) Devil of Dublin by BB Continue Reading
Review: Maestro by Auden Dar
Maestro by Auden DarContemporary RomanceNovember 22, 2022 Review by Jen I kept hearing about this book. So many people, in all my feeds, loving on it. I gave in and was glad I did! Maestro by Auden Dar is a lonnnng haul, so be warned. Don’t start this one night and think you can put it down. It’s good and you won’t want to, and then you’ll be awake for days. The story spans many years, from pre-teens to adults, break ups, and make-ups. They’re soulmates, best friends to lovers, Continue Reading
Review: Flawless by Elsie Silver
Flawless by Elsie SilverChestnut Springs #1Western RomanceJune 24, 2022- Self Published Review by Jen My bookclub recommended this one and I do love a good cowboy romance.

We’ve got Rhett, a superstar bull rider who is on the older side of the rodeo circuit. Which isn’t saying Continue Reading
Audio Review: Age of Vice by Deepti Kapoor
Age of Vice by Deepti KapoorCrime FictionJanuary 3, 2023Penguin Audio Review by Jen Most books that are made into films aren’t as good as the book. There are some exceptions, but the majority just don’t live up to the book. The Age of Vice would make a GREAT film. A better film than it was a book. The story is set in India. It has all the makings of a huge epic movie. Family drama, corruption, sex, violence, enormous wealth and profound poverty. It follows several characters Continue Reading

Jen’s Most Anticipated Books of 2023
The Stolen Heir by Holly Black, 1/3: The Folk of the Air trilogy is one of my favorite YA fantasy series. I thought that was it, and then JUST saw that Holly Black is releasing another book in that same world, and “filled with intrigue, betrayal, and dangerous desires.” Yes!!! All The Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham, 1/10: I listened to this and LOVED it. I’ve been on a bit of a thriller kick and this book completely hit the spot. A son stolen out of his crib in the middle of the night. Continue Reading
Jen’s Best Books Of 2022
I can’t believe the year is almost over. I feel like every month since March 2020 has been a bit of a blur. Goodreads tells me I only read 60 books this year. WAY below my goal. I’m not sure I actually logged every book, maybe that's what happened? Or, I'm just lame. :) Anyway…below are my top reads. Let me know what your favorite books were, too! The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller- I started listening to this in December 2021 and finished in January 2022. I still think about this book. Continue Reading
Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Marni Mann, Rachel Kapelke-Dale and Claire Kingsley
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
Review: Broken Lines by Jagger Cole
Broken Lines by Jagger ColeNew Adult RomanceOctober 27, 2022Kindle Unlimited Review by Jen This book wasn’t on my radar at all. Until, someone told me the author was a guy and then I was super intrigued. Plus there's all kinds of delicious trope candy; big age gap, rockstar romance, enemies to lovers, forbidden love in many ways. Jackson Havoc is a huge star. His band is crazy popular. All the guys are friends. When Jackson’s best friend and bandmate dies, Jackson disappears. Continue Reading
