I absolutely loved Poston’s newest. It had everything my little romantic heart likes to see in a romance novel. Great chemistry, people actually talking to each other and not avoiding things, great setting, great love scenes, etc. I absolutely loved The Dead Romantics and this one is up there with that for me. The Someday Garden follows thirty plus year old Sophie Drear. Sophie’s a horticulturist and spending her summer on loan from her regular house helping to renovate the gardens at Lilymoor House in […]

Someone should turn this dull book into a cute film.

I went back and forth on the rating on this one, and only because parts of it dragged. However, when Poston got into the rhythm of the book it really came together. How many romance readers among us would not love to be able to step into a romance series we love? It was a great premise and I liked the magical realism parts of the book a lot. I think the biggest issue I had was liking the character of Eileen. I just found […]

Let me start by saying I judged this book before reading it. I picked it because I thought it would be fluffy. This book reached into my heart and squeezed it hard; probing me for grief I had forgotten about. It made me laugh and remember amazing things about my own family at a specific time in my life.  It left me so very very satisfied and yet grief stricken while giggling sometimes. This book is anything but fluff, but it’s also not a deep […]
