Unguarded by Jay Hogan (Vino and Vertias #10)

November 21, 2021 Leave a Comment

This book is a lot like those fish out of water 90’s romantic comedies. We have 27-year-old Tai Samuels the (as the book describes him multiple times) sassy, lipgloss-wearing party boy who flees Boston with just the clothes on his back after a disastrous breakup. He makes a detour in small-town Vermont and, with aRead the Post

Audible Originals: Call Me Maybe and What The Hex

September 27, 2021 Leave a Comment

I was hesitant about Audible Original Stories, but I’ve found they are the perfect thing to listen to while I’m cleaning or running errands because if you speed up to 1.5, you can listen to an entire story in about 2 hours. Admittedly, I don’t think it’s worth getting an Audible subscription just for theRead the Post

The True North Series by Sarina Bowen

I don’t know why I get it into my head that books with warmly lit landscapes are moderate heat-level because this small-town romance was scalding. 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

Quick Dip : Meghan Quinn

May 31, 2021 Leave a Comment

Because most romance authors have such extensive backlist, instead of taking a deep dive into their work, I’m taking a quick dip! I decided to splash around in the Meghan Quinn waters after hearing Booktuber In Love & Words talk about her. Quinn writes romantic comedies the lean towards sophomoric humor and have varying steamRead the Post

The Magnolia Inn by Carolyn Brown

November 8, 2020 Leave a Comment

This book is not my usual romance subgenre and I only picked it up because I wanted something on in the background while I was working. I was scrolling through Kindle Unlimited for books with Audible narration and got so frustrated with the mobile interface that I picked this book because of its bright purpleRead the Post
