Special Feature and Excerpt: A Royal Kiss and Tell (A Royal Wedding #2) by Julia London
Julia London is a name that I instantly recognized as a well known romance writer. I haven’t read any of her books but in the numerous series that she has written, this series (A Royal Wedding) would probably be where I would start. London has a large fan following and many people rave about her ability to write authentic feeling romances with a clear knowledge of historical periods. So I was excited to check out a little sneak peak of her up and coming release, A Royal Kiss and Tell. Today I have that little excerpt here to share with you guys as well and I can safely say that…

Review: Red Sky over Hawaii by Sara Ackerman
I read my very first book by Sara Ackerman last year and really liked it, so when I saw that she was coming out with another war time book set in Hawaii, I was eager to read it. The covers of her books are all so beautiful and exotic feeling not to mention set on the gorgeous Hawaiian islands and featuring a unique view of WWII, it’s no wonder that I couldn’t resist her books! This was a book that I made room on my review calendar for and I am so glad that I did because it was a wonderful escape!

Review: Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner
This book is one of the buzziest books of the summer. It’s been everywhere and I have tried to stay away from reviews so as not to taint my own but it’s been so hard because it’s literally everywhere on social media right now. I had such great luck with Beach Read (another buzzy book) and I was eager to start this one thinking it would be really similar—-but it wasn’t. The cover makes me think this book would be more of a beach read but then the summary suggested women’s fiction and yet there was a mystery element to the story. Basically this book had a lot going on…

Special Feature: Forbidden Lust (Dynasties: Seven Sins #2) by Karen Booth
This summer, Harlequin has some sizzling romances out and today I have a little bit to share about Karen Booth’s latest novel, Forbidden Lust. Doesn’t that title just sound tantalizing? This book is the second in a series but easily could be read as a stand alone. This author has written a number of romances and I am eager to sample her stories as they sound wonderful. And since it is just about summer and all, this book is the perfect one to toss in your beach bag since it’s set in a tropical location—a secluded island paradise to be exact.

Review: Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton (Audible Edition)
This book has been everywhere since it first came out in 2018, but it wasn’t a book that I was dying to read. The time period and setting really isn’t my cup of tea so while it was being met with rave reviews, I wasn’t jumping at the change to read it. Then last year I read the book about the sister, WHEN WE LEFT CUBA, and loved it. I picked up that book on a whim and because everyone kept saying that I simply had to read these books so I read WHEN WE LEFT CUBA. After that I was eager to go back and read this book once…

Review: The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner
This book was an instant yes for me when it came across my desk for review. It looked so incredible and Jane Austen—need I say more? It was also marketed to fans of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society which was a huge favorite of mine last year and I was eager to read something in the same vein. When I started reading this one, it was with the expectation that it would be charming and heart warming just as one of Jane Austen’s novels.

Review: Recipe for Persuasion (The Rajes #2) by Sonali Dev
Sonali Dev was a new to my author when I read her Pride and Prejudice retelling, Pride Prejudice and Other Flavors, last year. I was thrilled to see that she would continue the story of the Rajes family and do a retelling of my favorite Austen novel, Persuasion. Dev has a great sense of humor and a way of capturing difficult family issues and difficult sibling relationships but yet keeps her focus on the romance at hand. So basically, I couldn’t wait to reacquaint myself with the Rajes and start this one. One of the things that makes Persuasion so great for me is that it’s a second chance romance…
