Review: Secrets of the Lighthouse by Santa Montefiore (Audible Edition)

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: Secrets of the Lighthouse by Santa Montefiore (Audible Edition)

Santa Montefiore is an author that has popped up on my radar on and off again over the last few years. I have seen her books popping up on my Goodreads recommendations and social media over the years and always plan on reading one of her books but she is a prolific writer and just wasn’t sure where to start.

I wanted something good that would captivate me right away but I just wasn’t sure where to begin. A few months ago, I nabbed this book from my local used book store—mostly for the cover. The cover is divine lets just all agree on that please!

But I shelved it and moved on to other books rather than cracking it open. So here I was six months later searching for a new audiobook to listen to while running errands. I belong to the Audible romance package where I can listen to select titles for free, so I started searching for books in their catalogue and what should pop up but this book! I immediately downloaded it and started listening. Continue reading “Review: Secrets of the Lighthouse by Santa Montefiore (Audible Edition)” →

Cover Reveal: Feels Like Falling by Kristy Woodson Harvey

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Cover Reveal: Feels Like Falling by Kristy Woodson Harvey

As many of you know, I have been a huge fan of Kristy Woodson Harvey for a long long time! Her books are wonderful and a breath of fresh Southern air each time I crack one open.

When her Peachtree Bluff series came to an end this year, I was sad to say good bye to such a fabulous place and characters, but eager to see what she would be working on next!

Her latest book, Feels Like Falling, is going to be out in April 2020 and it’s already on my calendar for review! She is one of those authors that I just put on my calendar whenever I know she has a new release coming out, she’s that good!

Special Feature: MET HER MATCH by Jude Deveraux

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Special Feature: MET HER MATCH by Jude Deveraux

Jude Deveraux is a name that lives on in infamy in my family. My grandma who died seven years ago at the ripe old age of 93, loved Jude Deveraux. She read every single one of her novels, sometimes multiple times over. Whenever my grandma would ask us what we were reading we would tell her and naturally we would ask her what she had been reading lately.

No matter what book she was reading she always prefaced it with ‘well it’s about a gal….’ and at that point we would tune her out. She was forever reading books ‘about gals’ and we could never keep them straight. As my sister and I got older, we were curious what was so exciting about these ‘about a gal’ books which for some reason became synonymous with Jude Deveraux.

Well one day, my sister and I found one of Deveraux’s novels at my grandma’s house when we were teen girls and it was evident that we were much too young to be reading it judging from the sex, but shocked that our grandma who seemed much to old to be reading her books with sex in them—loved them!

Review: The Ghost of Hollow House (Mina Scarletti #4) by Linda Stratmann

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: The Ghost of Hollow House (Mina Scarletti #4) by Linda Stratmann

Everyone knows that I am a sucker for Victorian gothic novels. I just can’t get enough of that genre and the ghost element of this book totally appealed to me.

An isolated mansion with a ghost—how was I supposed to say no to that? Especially going into fall?

The answer is, I couldn’t.

The premise sounded too intriguing and like something that was right up my alley.  I don’t know that the cover was doing a whole lot for me—to me it seemed more like the cover for an adventure novel, rather than a novel with a haunted mansion, but I was open to reading it either way. Though this book is the fourth in a series, I was hoping I hadn’t missed too much by picking it up so late in the game.
