It's been a while since the events of the last series and Evan Fournier is Continue Reading

Review: The Duke Undone by Joanna Lowell
The Duke Undone by Joanna LowellHistorical RomanceApril 6, 2021, by BerkleyARC Review by Angela I think the cute, artsy covers have confused me at this point, I just do not know what to expect when I open a book anymore.

This isn't a bad thing, but between the alcoholism, PTSD, dyslexia, family members being locked away against Continue Reading

There's one popular male narrator out there who just gives me creepy uncle vibes. I really enjoyed these stories AND the narrators were terrific. No creepy uncle. :) The Songbook of Benny Lament by Amy Harmon Epic!!! This was brilliant!! The narrator, Rob Shapiro was spot on. The story takes place in NYC in the 1960s and Shapiro’s Continue Reading
