Review: Promised by Leah Garriott (Audible Edition)

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Review: Promised by Leah Garriott (Audible Edition)

A few months back I did a special feature on this book and I just couldn’t get the cover and description out of my mind! I knew my review schedule was packed, so I downloaded it to listen to when I had errands to run.

That’s the thing I love most about audiobooks, there are plenty of days that I have to run errands or just need to get out of the house and go for a drive during the quarantine or days where I have house work to do, rather than sit and read, I multitask with audiobooks.

I rarely accept audiobooks for review because I want to pick books that I maybe had my eye on or maybe I was just in the mood for or perhaps they were on my TBR for years, in other words, it’s my ‘just for fun’ outlet for reading. I was totally in the mood to read this sweet proper romance so I downloaded it and started listening on my way to do a Costco run!

Special Feature and Excerpt: The Secrets of Love Story Bridge by Phaedra Patrick

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Special Feature and Excerpt: The Secrets of Love Story Bridge by Phaedra Patrick

Who here needs a little romance in their lives right about now? Even if your life is full of romance and love, can’t there always be just a little more? I for one love romance and this book sounds like it is full of romance not to mention that it will most likely provide a pleasurable and happy escape from reality right now.

I am thrilled that I also get to bring you all a little sneak peak today with an excerpt from this novel and boy does it sound great!

What I liked most about this book was the premise. Have you ever seen a padlock on a bridge and wondered what its story was? When I visited Prague a few years ago, there is a whole bridge dedicated just to these padlocks. My husband and I had no idea what they were about until we asked and we thought it sounded so romantic and I love that that is the premise of this story!

Review: Stories We Never Told by Sonja Yoerg

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: Stories We Never Told by Sonja Yoerg

Sonja Yoerg is another author that I have been a long time fan of, though I have to admit I was a little worried about this one. Yoerg usually writes more women’s fiction, but this one was marketed as more of a thriller.

But I did keep an open mind. I hate how some authors get pigeon holed into writing a certain genre, just because an author is known for writing women’s fiction doesn’t mean she can’t write anything else right?

While Yoerg might be known for a certain genre, I would argue that she should be known for her ability to write complex characters that truly stand out rather than a particular genre—so I took the plunge and started reading this one.
