  Happy weekend! I just finished my ARC of Lucy Score's book which is releasing this week. OMG! I loved it so much! My review really doesn't do justice to the feelings and laughter this book created within me. I also read two books from my TBR. I finished the 3rd book in the Naughty Princess Club by Tara Sivec, and I read my first book by JJ Knight. When life gets tough, laughter is the best medicine. Thank you Lucy, Tara, and JJ for making me laugh this week. Story of My Life (Story Lake #1) by Lucy Score           ARC: Release Date- 03/11/2025 #GrumpyHero #Fling #FamilySeries #SmallTown Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA. Hazel is a romance author who finds herself in a slump after an ugly divorce. She has become a seriously hot mess. Her best friend and agent, Zoey, has done her best to get Hazel to move forward but it is not working. When a late night and a lot o...

  I read four books this week to finish out February. One ARC, one book that has been on my TBR for a while, and two books by new-to-me author Tara Sivec.  I love when the romance community comes together to support their own and they did it with style on February 26th, declaring it Tara Sivec Day. Tara is an author battling an aggressive breast cancer and readers were encouraged to buy and read Tara's books to help with her astronomical medical costs. The first book of her Naughty Princess Club series has been on my kindle for several months, so reading that series seemed like the easiest place to start for me. As an author, she has actually been hovering on my list for years. I remember Pippa Grant mentioning her in a newsletter as a laugh out loud author. I have been meaning to read her work ever since. This month, her day was the push I needed and I am blown away by her humor, comedic timing, and fun characters.  Check out my reviews and add all of these to your TBR. ...

  Happy weekend! I decided that since I hit 7 books this week I should just go ahead and push this out today. I will read at least one more today but you will see that review next week. I had a gap between ARCs! I went back and finished the Kings of Avalier series that I started in February 2024.  SO GOOD! They are new adult, which is not my norm, but the fantasy realm made them un-put-down-able. I am thrilled to meet the author in Phoenix in a couple of weeks. I read the next book in the J. Saman series I am making my way through. Those Abbot-Fritz brothers are something else. I adore that whole family. I read four novellas with 2 of those being new-to-me authors. Coco Miller's book was a fun billionaire read, and Regine Abel's Prime Mating Agency was GOLD. You will see in my review that I loved this first in series book, and I am super excited to read the rest of them. I read a wonderful mafia novella by Lee Savino. He is truly obsessed with the girl without it being a terri...

  Happy weekend! This week I read two ARCs.  Bother were sports romances and yet they were both different and excellent in their own way.  I also read two fairy tale retellings of Snow White.  Again, they were very different takes on modern versions of that story.  All of my reads were hard to put down.  I had company this week with my daughter visiting.  And I caught a horrible cold.  But I still managed to finish September with these four engaging reads. Take a look at my reviews.  I hope they help you grow your TBR just a little bit. I wish you a week of wonderful books and maybe a new-you author. Red Heart Card (Manchester Athletics #6) by Annie Dyer ARC: Release Date- 09/28/2023 #Sports #AgeGap #OWYM #CinnamonRollHero #ARC 5 STARS Book six in the series can be read as a standalone and ends in a HEA.   It is written in first person from an alternating dual POV. When we first met Jude in this series, he was young, excitable, and...

  Happy weekend!  I had an eclectic and amazing week reading.  I participate in a few reading challenges each month and this year one of them started with a Bingo card.  Silly me, I decided about half way through the month to go for a full card cover up.  I had a brilliant idea.  Why not meet the challenge reading novellas by some of the authors I am planning to read for upcoming book signings?  I made a plan, selected some books to meet the requirements, and I think I might just make it. I read two ARCs. one new release, two books from my TBR, one historical romance, four novellas, and a novella reread of one of my favorites.  One of those was a new-to-me author.  The downside of finding more authors I like though is if they have a lot of books in their backlist.  As it is, I will need to live to be 300 to get through my TBR.  Anyone know a vampire to grant me immortality? Novellas can be challenging.  The author has to build ...
