Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Christina Henry, Kate Canterbary and Tara Westover

June 9, 2023 by Jen

Lost Boy by Christina Henry

I have a few mini reviews from wildly different authors. All are absolutely excellent and highly recommended.  I’m starting with Lost Boy: The True Story of Captain Hook by Christina Henry. Wow! This recommendation came from a colleague and it did not disappoint me one bit. It’s a dark retelling of Peter Pan and the origin story of Captain Hook. In this not so happy fairy tale, Peter is a spoiled narcissistic psychopath. Not a doctor here…but I’m going for it with the psychopath Continue Reading

June 8, 2023 by Angela

A clever and steamy queer romantic comedy about taking chances and accepting love—with all its complications—from the author of Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail.Delilah Green swore she would never go back to Bright Falls—nothing is there for her but memories of a lonely childhood where she was little more than a burden to her cold and distant stepfamily. Her life is in New York, with her photography career finally gaining steam and her bed never empty. Sure, it’s a different woman every night, but Continue Reading

Review: Keyed Up by Sarah Estep

June 8, 2023 by Melanie

Keyed Up by Sarah EstepContemporary RomanceMay 4, 2023 Self-published Review by Melanie I discovered this book by sheer stroke of luck while scrolling through Instagram which is extremely unusual since I don’t actually spend a lot of time on Instagram. Somehow, the universe must have known that this book would speak to my personal reading id and check all my boxes. The author had done one of those posts with multiple arrows around the book and labeled each one with specific micro tropes Continue Reading

Newly single and unemployed, Tam calls up her best friend from high school and utters the emergency code word—goldfish. Next thing she knows, she’s on a plane back home. Josh O’Malley was a troubled, Continue Reading

Review: Unfortunately Yours by Tessa Bailey

June 7, 2023 by Angela

Unfortunately Yours by Tessa BaileyA Vine Mess #2Contemporary RomanceJune 6, 2023- AvonARC Review by Angela I didn't love the first book in the series, Secretly Yours, neither the pacing nor the romance really worked for me and it took forever to finish. I kind of debated on whether I should continue with this duology, but ultimately decided I needed to know how the hate/lust relationship between the other Vos sibling and her retired Navy Seal panned out. I'm glad I did because this Continue Reading
