Cover Reveal: SURVIVING SAVANNAH by Patti Callahan
I had the pleasure of reading my very first ever Patti Callahan book last year called Becoming Mrs Lewis, I went on to read another of her books and loved both. I cannot wait to read this one and if this cover isn’t taking your breath away then I am shocked! I don’t even need to read the book summary to know that I am in love with this book already. That cover is stunning and it sounds like a new and untold story. Today I have the cover reveal as well as a bit about the book, a Q & A with the author and of course there is…

Review: Where the Lost Wander by Amy Harmon (Audible Edition)
I’ve seen this book off and on my social media the last couple of months but I wasn’t entirely sure about it. I mean I grew up playing The Oregon Trail game on the computer (best game ever!) and since I live in Oregon I have studies the Oregon Trail extensively and frontier culture especially for my masters. But for whatever reason this book just didn’t grab me right away when it came out. But after a few dud books I really wanted to read some thing that I was sure would catch my interest and feel different. I decided to bite the bullet and download the Audible edition as…

Review: The Last Mrs. Summers (Her Royal Spyness #14) by Rhys Bowen
I have been a long time Rhys Bowen fan and I have been trying to get caught up on the Royal Spyness series for the last year. I have been reading the later mysteries out of order but going back and trying to read the earlier ones so I can have a better appreciation for the characters and their back stories. I love Georgie and all the quirky characters in this series and when I saw another book was coming out I couldn’t wait to check it out even though I wasn’t entirely caught up with the series over all.

Review: Paris Never Leaves You by Ellen Feldman
It’s so hard for me to turn down a story set in Paris. There’s a reason that Paris is called the city of romance and I simply love it and can hardly pass it up when a book comes around set in Paris, especially war time Paris. This one sounded so incredibly promising that saying yes to it was easy. I love duel timeline narratives and this one sounded like it would be such a fun escape read. This is a new to me author but she has written a few other books that I had heard of and I was eager to pick this one up and start reading.

Special Feature: Murder in the East End (Kat Holloway Mysteries #4) by Jennifer Ashley
I was so fortunate to read the first Kat Holloway mystery a couple of years ago, but I just haven’t kept up on the series, though I am so glad to see that many readers have been enjoying the books! I really enjoyed the first book but as the motto goes, so many books so little time, so I have gotten behind which is why I opted to do a special feature for this book instead of a review. I didn’t want to miss anything since I really enjoyed the first book and characters. If you love historical mysteries reminiscent of Downton Abbey, then this is a series you do…

Special Feature and Excerpt: The Woman Before Wallis by Bryn Turnbull
Wallis Simpson is the woman that I love to hate. Having read some books about her over the years (non fiction and fiction), I have jut formulated my opinion of her and I came to the conclusion that I just don’t like her—she seemed like an opportunist. But at the same time there is something terribly romantic about a king giving up his throne—the thing he had devoted his entire life to—just to marry the woman he loves. There is power in that story for sure. This novel isn’t just another Wallis Simpson story though. Before Wallis there were surely women that caught the future king’s eye and this is…

Review: Fair as a Star by Mimi Matthews
Mimi Matthews is another author who has been placed firmly on my auto buy/read list! I discovered her by chance and have loved everything she has written! When I saw this one was coming out, I was thrilled and looking forward to another delicious Victorian romance full of sweetness, love, and of course chemistry between the two characters. What I didn’t know until I started reading this one was that it was a novella rather than a full length novel. That said it’s still around the 200 page mark but still shorter than a conventional novel but don’t let the length fool you, there is plenty to enjoy in this…

Review: Mr. Malcolm’s List by Suzanne Allain
When I saw this one on Netgalley, I thought it was eye catching and sounded interesting so I downloaded it. Then I got the pitch for it a couple of weeks later and suddenly I moved it up on my review timeline. I had already planned to review this one in July but wasn’t planning on reading it until a little closer to the release day, but then all the news started breaking about the upcoming film and I moved this baby right on up! This upcoming film is going to feature Constance Wu and Sam Heughan along with a number of other diverse cast members and will be releasing…
