I love discovering new romance authors

Love at First Flight by Janine Amesta

April 12, 2025 by Malin 3 Comments

Nowhere Books Bingo 2025: Book Dedicated to a Parent Thank you to Janine Amesta for granting me this ARC. It has not influenced my review, my opinions are my own. Thank you also, Emmalita, who tipped me off about this author. Selah Moreno’s beloved stepfather always wanted to be an airline pilot, but couldn’t become one for a number of reasons. So he flew hot air balloons instead. Selah trains to become a pilot instead, but when her father unexpectedly dies, and her mother and […]

If you don’t want to wait until then, I highly recommend Lucky Strike, which was one of my favorite reads last year. Selah Moreno was on her way to flight school when she got a call from […]

I’m a cornucopia of complexity, Sam.

Lucky Strike by Janine Amesta

September 9, 2024 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Janine Amesta’s engaging Lucky Strike is my kind of catnip – prickly marshmallows who think they are the villain, finding grace for each other and then themselves. Luna is prickly and prone to lash out. Sam has frozen his life after a car accident that resulted in his brother’s death. Luna is back in her hometown, living with her cousin and his pregnant wife in her childhood home. She is looking for an affordable place of her own and after being rejected for one rental, […]
