Book reviews for books read August 1st - 17th

  Hello! This has been a crazy month as the hubby has radiation appointments almost every day, multiple doctor appointments per week, and my paying job has required extra shifts this month. I still managed to read 6 books including 3 new to me authors so far this month. I also read 2 ARCs, which were both fantastic reads for me. Check out my reviews below and add some books to your TBR. Until next time, happy reading! Billionaire Romantic (New York Billionaires #4)  by Julie Capulet ARC: Release Date- 08/16/2025 #AgeGap #Billionaire #InstaLove #Virgin #ARC Wildest Dreams. Say Yes. I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA. Romantic Noah finally finds his HEA with Lucky. He falls for her so quickly and he can’t stand to be apart from her. Lucky can’t believe Noah is real as he treats her right with countless O’s...

Book reviews for books read June 1st-14th

  Happy weekend!  It has been a busy couple of weeks but I managed to read 6 books. Two ARCs, and four books from my TBR. I have been working on reading the backlist of Swati M.H., and managed to read all but one of her books prior to assisting her at the HEA Reader Event in Indianapolis on June 7th. Then I joyfully read two ARCs, both over 400 pages. Then I needed something a little different. I needed to break away from traditional, contemporary romance and was able to fit in a paranormal rom com and a monster romance. Now I am back to ARCs.  There are so many good books to read. I am exceedingly grateful to the authors who have written and are writing books that suck me into their imaginary worlds. Thank you authors for giving me a way to escape reality for a little while and guaranteeing me that happy ending. Till next time, happy reading.

Debut Author Spotlight: Cathryn Lyons

  Debut Author Spotlight: Cathryn Lyons Funny story: I was attending Charm City Romanticon in Ellicott City, Maryland last month. During a pit stop to the ladies' room, I was talking with Rhon House (Author Caera Everly & PA Extraordinaire) as one does. When she asked me what my ARC schedule looked like, I let her know that April was a nightmare with ten scheduled releases. Fortunately, I was able to opt out of 2 of the ARCs. Then, she asked how May was looking. I told her it was looking a lot more doable. That's when she asked me if I could fit in an ARC for a debut author in May. With some discussion about the anticipated release date, and book length, I readily agreed to read this brand-new author that my friend believed in so much. I do love helping new authors find their audience and Rhon knew me well enough to know I would fall madly in love with this book. Spoiler alert: I did. When I finished it, I immediately reached out to Rhon and asked her if the author might be...

Book reviews for books read May 3rd - May 10th

  Happy weekend!  I read two ARCs this week. They were both very different and both very good. Marika Ray's new book is going to be the perfect summer read. Take it to the lake or the beach and fully enjoy the quirky romance between Maple and Holt. I promise you will adore the meddling seniors along the way. Then I read an arc by a debut author and it knocked  my socks off. When was the last time you got a book hangover from a brand new author? Yeah, it is a rare thing but it happened to me this week.  Check my reviews and add these to your TBR. You wont be sorry. Until next time, happy reading.
