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

Sunday Smexy Deals!
My new neighbor is a firefighter--and a scorching hot single dad--but I swear I didn’t set off that smoke alarm on purpose. (And I was beyond mortified when he rushed in and saw me naked.) Nothing happened, of course--because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year. Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster. Even former SEALs with broad chests and Continue Reading
Scenic Sunday- Sweep of the Blade by Ilona Andrews
This is one of the bloodier scenes in this book, so if that's a trigger you might want to skip. I do love me some Ilona Andrews fight scenes, Maud and Arland will always be one of my favorite couples. It was gaining. Faster. Faster! They were almost there. Almost. A few dozen yards. The dragon lunged, roaring. The teeth. Huge teeth. This wasn't a dream. The monster from her nightmares had come to life and was trying to devour her daughter. The little boy's vihr Continue Reading
