Scenic Sunday- Fire Inside by Kristen Ashley

May 15, 2022 by Angela 1 Comment

I remember discovering Kristen Ashley in 2012. I picked up Rock Chick and laughed and laughed, and then devoured this author's backlist. Contemporary, Fantasy... it didn't matter. I just kept going and going until I'd read everything. Looking back I know that so much of her stuff is problematic, and she tends to describe everything in such detail, from the curtains to the throw pillows to the shoes the female main character is wearing. It didn't matter to me at the time though. I haven't read Continue Reading

A Show for Two by Tashie BhuiyanYoung Adult May 10, 2022, by Inkyard Press Review by Melanie I don’t read a whole lot of YA but Tashia Bhuiyan’s voice really speaks to me and she is quickly becoming an auto-read author for me. I adored her debut, Counting Down with You (you can read my review here), and this book, while dealing with topics that seem a bit heavier than the previous book, is also delightful and romantic.  As Tashie explains in her author’s note at the end of the book, Continue Reading
