Amanda Weaver's new novel, Love Around the Corner, is out now, Amanda is here to talk about one of my favorite tropes- Second Chance. I think people love reading second chance romances because most of us have someone in our past we still wonder about, some relationship that didn’t end the way we wanted it to.

Gemma, the heroine in Love Around the Corner has definitely googled her ex, although she’d die Continue Reading

Did Not Finish Friday
I like to do an occasional wrap up of books that I did not finish. I am a fickle mood reader and DNFing a book doesn’t necessarily mean it was a bad book, it typically just means it did not work for me at that moment. Sometimes I like to think I will go back and try it again but that has happened maybe twice in all my years of reading/reviewing. Walk Me Home by Liza Kendall- This was out in January and I tried to read it but I couldn’t get into it. I couldn’t figure out what the story was Continue Reading

It can explain in exact terms why certain parts of our bodies flush with desire when being held in the arms of a lover. It also leads to a shared understanding Continue Reading
