Ash Dylan’s novella, Press Play is one of the most interesting and frustrating romances I’ve read in a long time. Paul and Riley are roommates. Paul is a professional soccer player who suffered a serious injury and has spent the last year coaching for Portland’s team while they see how much he recovers. Riley has been in a professional and creative rut since her ex-boyfriend chose his career over their relationship. They are each in a stuck place. As a reader you also know that they […]

The Sugared Game by KJ Charles

When KJ Charles initially announced the three book Will Darling Adventures series, it looked like it would all be released in 2020 and so I thought I would read all three and then review them together.

I have given in and decided to review the first two books without waiting for the third. Will Darling has returned […]

Ellen “Finn” Finnegan is newly out on parole after serving 5 years of her sentence for felony theft. She’s trying to find a job so that she can pay her parole fees and find housing that isn’t her cousin’s stepsister’s couch.

Indian(-ish), Recipes and Antics from a Modern American Family by Priya Krishna and Ritu Krishna

Early in the morning a friend and I go on a walk together over the phone. It gets us out of the house, something we both need, me because I no longer have a bossy dog who insists and her because she is working from home because pandemic. Yesterday morning as we walked and talked, I noticed a brand new Free Little Library, just two houses up from mine. There were only 3 books in the library, but I knew that would change.
