Review: Once Upon a Sunset by Tif Marcelo
I read Tif Marcelo for the first time last year, The Key to Happily Ever After, and thought it was super fun and a very satisfying read! I was obviously eager to get my hands on her latest release to see if the magic continued going strong! I was especially eager to ‘travel’ to an exotic location in this one. The author is Pilipino and since this book is set in the Philippines, I thought her culture and experiences would really shine in this book. I also really liked the idea of a closely guarded family secret that the main character embraces the adventure of those secrets so obviously this…

Review: This Won’t End Well by Camille Pagán
This is a new to me author, but not entirely unfamiliar to me. I’ve seen her books popping up all over the Amazon charts, especially her release from last year, I’m Fine and Neither are You. When this new release, This Won’t End Well, came up for review, I jumped at the chance to read it! Everything I have heard about this book and this author, make it inevitable that I will love this book! I couldn’t wait to crack open my copy and let the good times roll so to speak! And let me tell you, this book did not disappoint! What a refreshing new voice in contempo lit!

Review: Adequate Yearly Progress by Roxanna Elden
I worked in public education for twelve years and during that time I had a close friend who was a counselor in our Guidance Office. We would have lunch together every day and talk about how we needed to write a book about public education because people would never believe the things we have to go through on a daily basis. In fact we stated keeping a list of things that would happen in our office each year and at the end of the school year we would go back and reflect on the year of weird things we had to deal with. The list was long every single year…

Special Feature and Q & A: Been There, Married That by Gigi Levangie Grazer
To say that this book sounds comical is an understatement. It sounds like it has all the makings of a great comedy about the crazy twists and turns that life can throw at you, especially when it comes to marriage and divorce. I couldn’t squeeze this one into my review schedule for the month but I am thrilled to be able to bring you all a little bit about the book and something especially fun, a Q & A with the author! This book is out tomorrow so be sure to check it out. It sounds so funny and it had all the glitz, glamour, and scandal or Hollywood and…

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…

With the release of the paperback version of this lovely book, I wanted to take a minute and re-share my review with you guys! I know that many of you loved the classic story of Rebecca and this book here in a modern retake on that classic gothic novel. I really enjoyed this one and easily gave it 4 stars.

Review: Many Rivers to Cross (Inspector Banks #26) by Peter Robinson
This series has obviously been a long standing with. With 26 books in the series, it’s clear that people love Inspector Banks. I was thrilled to review this one when I was approached, but at the same time I was worried that being 26 books in, that I would be lost in the larger story. But if I have learned one thing about well known, longstanding thriller/mystery series, it’s that the authors usually try to keep things simple or at least explain the back story more for a new audience. After some debate, I decided to give this one a try and see how it went. I obviously wasn’t going…

Review: The Country Guesthouse (Sullivan’s Crossing #5) by Robyn Carr
Robyn Carr was a new to my author a couple of years ago but once I picked up one of her books, I could immediately see why so many people enjoy her novels! Picking this book up in the dead of winter was a little depressing though, because I could practically feel the sun on my skin with this glowing beach style read! Even though the setting is in Colorado, it still reminded me of a fun read on a sunny summer day while I was passing some time at the beach, this is the sort of book that you want to pack with you on a lazy summer day.…
