She’d worked so hard to deserve the goodness of her life now, but accepting it was something else entirely.

Therese Beharrie’s Single Dads Club is a messy (in a good way) slow burn romance with two people trying to build new lives for themselves and be better than their parents, while prioritizing Rowan’s new born son. Delilah and Rowan have each ended up in Sugarbush Bay after significant upheaval in their personal lives. A few years earlier, Delilah’s mother was convicted of bilking her middle class clients out of their life savings. Delilah fled to her older brother in Sugarbush Bay and has been […]

A Ghost in Shining Armor by Therese Beharrie

by Leave a Comment

One of the frequent fights that happens on the borders of romancelandia is whether or not a romance is a romance if the love interest dies. The two central elements of the romance genre are: the romantic relationship is central to the story, and there is a happily ever after/happy for now ending. Nicholas Sparks’ books, among others, are often trotted out in this fight because he is known to kill off his romantic partners. In Ghost in Shining Armor, Therese Beharrie is going one […]

‘Do you want the real answer to that? Or the one that’s going to keep everything the way it is?’

Finding Forever on Their Island Paradise by Therese Beharrie

by 2 Comments

Therese Beharrie’s books always melt me into a pile of heart-eyed goo. They bring the feels, the humor, and the tenderness, and always leave me with a smile on my face! All Morgan wants to do is help her grandmother host her wedding on Penguin Island, where she’s lived for most of her life. If only that pesky rich developer who’s bought the community would listen to her compromise! While Elliott barely gets along with his family, when his brother asked him to take over […]

The way these characters can understand what isn’t being said, while being delightfully snarky is just the best.

And They Lived Happily Ever After by Therese Beharrie

Representation on the page matters, and while finding representation that feels exactly like you can be some of the most affirming experiences out there, finding representation that speaks to a component of your life that isn’t exactly how you experience it is also incredibly important. Beharrie includes in her acknowledgements that a lot of what we see on the page in And They Lived Happily Ever After draws from her own experiences with Anxiety, and as usual, when an author so very obviously writes from […]

Maybe everyone had magic and they were all just keeping it a secret from each other.

And They Lived Happily Ever After by Therese Beharrie

I feel incredibly protective of And They Lived Happily Ever After. It’s a lovely and vulnerable book and it’s been hard for me to articulate why I like it so much with out getting all “not like the other girls” about it. I am seeing it being advertised as a rom com, and it really isn’t. It is most definitely a romance, and it is funny in parts, but it’s angsty. It will make your heart ache, beautifully. Additionally, Therese Beharrie infuses some magical realism with […]

A great story of instalove, if you like that

A Wedding One Christmas by Therese Beharrie

by Leave a Comment

Last year Emmalita reviewed the second book in this series, and it intrigued me. I’ll be honest, instalove is a huge pet peeve of mine, but I was curious by a self aware attempt to create a meaningful connection over a single day. Plot: Angie is going home, to Cape Town, for the holidays. This is really hard for her since she hasn’t been back home for three years, since a tragedy struck the family and she couldn’t face it. To delay the inevitable, she […]
