Sheena’s TBR Takedown!- An Hysterical Historical by Suzanne Enoch
Anyone who promises wild and wicked Highland romance has snagged me hook, line and sinker. Scot Under the Covers by Suzanne Enoch not only has a DAMN, YES MA'AM! cover, the blurb hinted at a plot ripe with tricks and games of intrigue. Will they, won't they!?- Of course they will- this is HEA through and through, but the journey to the happy ending was a riot. And I guess I'll start there. I didn't expect this novel to be as freaking funny as it was! Historical romances often have lots of winks Continue Reading

Sheena’s Favorites of 2019
Whoa, I didn't read nearly as much as I anticipated this year. I read my staple releases, and came across a few new authors and that was kind of...it. I actually did more RE-reading than anything! Maybe 2019 was just meant to be the year of nostalgia for me. Topping my re-read list? Waking the Dragon, Vale of Stars #1 by Juliette Lewis. It is quite possibly my favorite book to read these days! Liar's Game by Eric Jerome Dickey was also a repeat read and is one of my fav if not thee- fav all Continue Reading
