Re-Post Review: More Than Words by Jill Santopolo
Last year I had the pleasure of reading Jill Santopolo’s novel, MORE THAN WORDS, and I thought it was an excellent story. Now the paperback is being released and I thought it would be a good time to re-share my review with you guys! It was an easy four star review for me and I thought about it long after I was finished with it. With Valentines Day just around the corner, now is as good a time as any to pick up this sexy romance, you won’t be disappointed! The paperback is out now so head to your local bookstore or favorite online book retailer today to secure your…

Review: An Everyday Hero (A Heart of a Hero #2) by Laura Trentham
Let me just put this out there right now, I don’t read a lot of military fiction or romances. While I love military history and have family that have served and continue to serve in the military, it’s just not a genre that I ever think about picking up to read. Ever. No real reason why, I just simply don’t think of it. So why now? Here is the shallow answer—I loved the cover. Sure the cover lured me in, but I have to admit I was intrigued by the summary and I love Southern fiction and thought this one might be a diverting read. Plus, I love romances what…

Review: Things in Jars by Jess Kidd
Jess Kidd is an author who keeps flying around in my radar but yet I just never seem to have the time to fit in her books. That and I just wasn’t completely sold on the fact that I would love this author. I mean some of her books sound good—but quirky. I love quirky as much as the next person, but I need to be in the mood for quirky and I just haven’t been lately, but then this book started popping up on my radar and I started to rethink that decision. This book caught my eye because it was set in the Victorian era and the word…

Review: The Light After the War by Anita Abriel
Post WWII era books have become rather popular lately and while I haven’t read too many of them, I thought it would be good to get a few under my belt. I have read a lot of post WWI era books which I love, but I haven’t read too many post WWII era books and this one sounded like it would provide and interesting glimpse of life after the war and I thought I would enjoy seeing how these characters navigated the post war period. I liked that the story was based on real events as the author’s mother was a Holocaust survivor so I thought this book would really…

Review: Sanditon: Official ITV Tie-In Edition by Kate Riordan and Jane Austen
Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a big Jane Austen fan. I love her novels with my favorite being Persuasion. I have read most of her popular novels but confess I haven’t had a chance to read her unfinished works such as Sandtion. With the show being released finally here in the US, I thought this would be prime time for me to check out this unfinished novel by Austen, that Kate Riordan picked up and completed. The show looks fantastic, plus Theo James need I say more. I haven’t yet watched it (I am so behind on my shows!) but I love period dramas and with an…

Review: Who Buries the Dead (Sebastian St. Cyr #10) by C.S. Harris
I just couldn’t resist picking up another Sebastian St Cyr mystery. I toyed with the idea of taking a break and reading something else but I just kept coming back to this series and wanted to know what was in store for Sebastian so here we are with yet another review. I think it’s safe to say that I will easily surpass my Goodreads reading goal this year considering I’ve already finished 10 books in this series before January was even done! Though I will say, I am tempted to take a break after this one because this was my least favorite in the series thus far and let me…

Review: Why Kings Confess (Sebastian St. Cyr #9) by C.S. Harris
I love binge reading different series, but this is probably the longest series I have endeavored to binge read. I am so torn between soldiering on and taking a break now that I have finished book 10, and yes I know this is the review for book 9, but I finished book 10 last night and was considering taking a break. But I will be honest, I started reading a different book and I couldn’t tear my thoughts away from this series and I eventually abandoned it to return to another Sebastian St Cyr book. Many of you know that I read multiple books at one time. I usually have…

Review: What Darkness Brings (Sebastian St. Cyr #8) by C.S. Harris
I am just about caught up with this series now. I started the series with book 12 and have read through to book 14, but then I decided to go back and read the series from start to finish. I have just about achieved my goal, but I no doubt will go back and do a take two review on the books I read out of sequence so that I have a better grasp of all the events from beginning to end. This mystery was excellent. I loved having a victim that I loathed and I thought the author did a fantastic job at justifying the pursuit of justice that…
