The Reinvention of The Rose by Christina C. Jones (Roses & Thorns #1)

September 11, 2021 Leave a Comment

This book is a spin-off from Jones’ High Stakes series and, while it could read as a standalone, I think it is helpful to read High Stakes before diving into this book. Our protagonist is Tempest, a woman in her twenties who has spent her entire life as a Rose, an assassin for a secretRead the Post

The last thing Sydney wants to do is head back to her small hometown of Rose Bend…especially since she’s pregnant with her ex-husband’s baby. Sydney has a complicated past withRead the Post

Next Year In Havana by Chanel Cleeton

July 20, 2021 Leave a Comment

I really should have reviewed Next Year In Havana and Heart and Seoul together. They are both about American women visiting their cultural homelands for the first time and grappling with where they belong while also falling into passionate but complicated relationships. Cuban-American journalist Marisol Ferrera’s family fledCuba in the 1950’s and have dreamed ofRead the Post
