March 30, 2022 by Melanie Leave a Comment

With Love from Rose Bend by Naima SimoneRose Bend #3Contemporary Romance March 29, 2022, by HQN Books Review by Melanie I don’t know if this is the final book in this series but if it is, Naima Simone is ending on a very high note, capturing all the small town charm typically found in Hallmark movies and imbuing the series with her traditional brand of gut wrenching emotions and incredibly high heat and sexual tension.  Leo, who helps run her family’s inn, and Owen, retired Continue Reading

Review: The Road to Rose Bend by Naima Simone

April 27, 2021 by Melanie Leave a Comment

The Road to Rose Bend by Naima SimoneContemporary RomanceApril 27, 2021, by HQN Books Review by Melanie You might suspect, upon glancing at this rather bucolic cover, that this is a quiet, peaceful, drama-free romance...and you’d be wrong. This series starter introduces us to the town of Rose Bend, a charming little town nestled in the Berkshires that has all of the small-town coziness of a Hallmark Channel movie.
