The Donut Trap by Julie Tieu
My kingdom for a 5 star romance. Finally! This was so good and needed. I was despairing you guys. I just wanted something romantic, with a plot, and a main character I could root for. This is not my first book by Tieu and it won’t be my last. I just started re-reading her backlist since I enjoyed The Girl Most Likely To. Be warned, you are going to get frustrated with the main character of Jas, but root for her throughout. We get a […]
Bridgerton: Romancing Mister Bridgerton (Penelope & Colin’s Story) by Julia Quinn
In our last book, Colin Bridgerton put his foot firmly in his mouth where Penelope Featherington was concerned. He blames this on his mother hinting at Penelope as a potential bride (sure…blame someone else for your boorish behavior.) Now years later, Colin is still going on his jaunts around Europe, and Penelope is firmly on the shelf. Of course, with Colin back home for a brief spell and Penelope no longer worrying about being in Society’s eye, can anything change? And will Lady Danbury’s offer […]
The Forgotten Dead by Jordan L. Hawk
Rattling Bone by Jordan L. Hawk
Into the Dark by Jordan L. Hawk
I’ve been a fan of Jordan L. Hawk since I was introduced to his Whyborne & Griffin series in 2018, and his stories have only improved in that time. OutFoxing the Paranormal is one of his few contemporary series, and it follows a group of ghost hunters who have a YouTube series and a professor at Duke’s Institute of Parapsychology who uses their adventures as part of his studies for papers. It is one of my favorite JLH series, and I cannot wait to see what Oscar, […]
Burn It Down: Rigsby WI Volume 2 by S. E. Case
A year ago (March 2025) Rigsby WI by S. E. Case came out and March 2026 Burn It Down: Rigsby WI Volume 2 came out. Flux: Rigsby WI Volume 3 will be out in 2027 and I’m hoping that means volume four is in 2028. Of course, I want all the stories for each character now, as I’m not happy that I have to wait a year for book three, let alone until 2028! You see, I became invested in the four main teens/friends of […]
The Final Gambit: The Inheritance Games Book #3 by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
“That’s my girl!” Xander bellowed. “Woman,” Max corrected. “That’s my woman! In a completely not possessive and absolutely unpatriarchal kind of way!” ― Jennifer Lynn Barnes, The Final Gambit The Final Gambit picks up immediately after the final reveals of book two, The Hawthorne Legacy. Toby vanished in the wake of Avery’s rescue from Sheffield Grayson and left Avery with a new mystery: what is the meaning of the treasure he left for her mother, Hannah, and why did he steal it back from Avery […]
The Starter Ex by Mia Sosa
I have tendency to forget character names rather quickly, even if I mostly retain plot. As a result, I kept wondering if this novel was going to be a sequel to When Javi Dumped Mari. After all, the cover art had the same feel and style, and even though The Worst Best Man and The Wedding Crasher are in the same universe, they aren’t listed as a series. Vanessa absolutely could have been one of Mari’s friends whose name I had forgotten. Turns out, unless […]
