A supernatural bounty hunter who needs to remember age is just a number

Mid-Life Bounty Hunter by Shannon Mayer

I read a fun short story by Shannon Mayer in the Kicking It anthology. I’m always on the prowl for a new paranormal/urban fantasy series, so decided to pick up Midlife Bounty Hunter in an audible sale. I’m also in my forties, so thought it be nice to read about a hero around my age. The first book in the Forty Proof series follows Breena returning divorced to Savannah. She is living with her ex’s cousin and looking for work. He recommends her for a bounty […]

CBR15 Passport Challenge: Different genres – suspense thriller, urban fantasy, and monster romance When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole has been in my audible library for way too long. When it was picked for my Lawless book club, it was a sign. I do like to read mystery and thrillers to mix it up between the glut of romances I read. Dubbed by the author as a gentrification thriller, Sydney Green is having a bad time. After a disastrous divorce, she’s moved back in […]

Don’t cross a Doomsday (or his gentleman friend)

The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen by KJ Charles

by Leave a Comment

The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen by KJ Charles was recommended by several friends! I’m terrible at reading new releases because my TBR is like 4,000+ books long. After attending Lawless Book Club, this was moved to the top of the queue. The FOMO got me to finish reading it about a week later. I’m always down for a gay romance and hadn’t read a queer M/M one yet. Set in the Regency era, Joss Doomsday and Sir Gareth meet up at a pub for […]

A talking cat + groomer mystery duo

Mimi Lee Gets a Clue by Jennifer J. Chow

by 1 Comment

Mimi Lee Gets a Clue by Jennifer J. Chow is the first book in her Sassy Cat Mystery series. As a big fan of cozy mysteries and cute animals, the adorable illustrated cover sold me instantly. Mimi opens a grooming shop called Hollywoof. She hopes to cater to the dog clientele of Los Angeles. Even though it’s clear that Mimi prefers dogs, her sister gives her a fluffy white cat. He is aptly named Marshmallow. Quite soon, Mimi starts hearing Marshmallow talk. She thinks she […]
