Special Feature: Truth, Lies, and Second Dates by MaryJanice Davidson

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Special Feature: Truth, Lies, and Second Dates by MaryJanice Davidson

Who doesn’t love a rom-com, especially during the holiday season?! While this book might not be holiday specific, it’s being released during the holidays and I for one love rom-coms all the more during the holiday season!

I am so excited to share a bit about this book with you all today. It’s out today. At first glance it doesn’t sounds like a typical rom-com—-I mean the main love interest is a medical examiner and the plot centers around a cold case murder, but I have high hopes for this one being a rom-com.

Many reviewers have noted that the characters are witty and bring humor to what would normally be a serious story so I am excited to see how this one comes together and if it is indeed a rom-com of the nontraditional variety but a rom-com all the same! Alway it’s out now and I would love to hear what you all think, I know this is going on my TBR!

Review: A Heartfelt Christmas Promise by Nancy Naigle

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: A Heartfelt Christmas Promise by Nancy Naigle

Just about every holiday season, I read one of Nancy Naigle’s holiday romances and I have never been disappointed. It’s like reading a Hallmark Movie, you just know without a doubt that you are going to read something sweet, fun, romantic, and full of holiday cheer!

When this book was released in October, I just didn’t have room on my calendar to review it. But this year I did something I never do. I left my December calendar really open so that I could read a bunch of holiday romances!

And this one was at the top of my list to read! I could easily have finished it in a day but then of course life got in the way so it took me a couple of days to read, but I was happy because that meant I got to drag it out a little more and enjoy all the wonderful words inside a little longer!

Review: The Star-Crossed Sisters of Tuscany by Lori Nelson Spielman

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: The Star-Crossed Sisters of Tuscany by Lori Nelson Spielman

Due to COVID this was a book whose release date got pushed back a couple of times so to be honest, I forgot about it for my fall reading! It was supposed to come out in September and I thought it would be a great book to close out of late summer reading with. But then it was pushed out until November and I simply forgot about it until I checked my reading calendar and saw it was time to start reading!

Well….I take that back, I saw it was a Book of the Month pick for November and I was so excited because I knew it was coming up sometime soon and when I checked I was like, oh ya this month! So I immediately started reading!

After reading this one, the desire to travel to Tuscany is so intense that I am ready to drop everything and remove myself to Italy for the remainder of the year! Sadly I am stuck here in rainy Oregon, but reading this one, I could almost feel the Tuscan sun on my skin.

Review: Gentleman Jim by Mimi Matthews

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: Gentleman Jim by Mimi Matthews

I haven’t met a Mimi Matthews book that I didn’t love and Gentleman Jim is no exception! I absolutely loved this one! Mimi Matthews is an auto-buy author for me. She always writes such wonderful romances with heart, chemistry, and they always leave me satisfied with a smile.

I will say that I didn’t love the title of the book but when I read the author’s notes about why she went with Jim instead of Jack, I could understand but I still liked Gentleman Jack better.

But no matter, Gentleman Jim is a large part of the story but not necessarily a principal character. If you love The Count of Monte Cristo and Wuthering Heights, this is the book you have been waiting for!

Anyone need a rom-com to get through the holidays this year? I know I do! I love rom-coms during the holidays even if they don’t really have a holiday element to them.

This one has been getting a lot of attention all over social media which may or may not be a good thing, but for me this one sounds like a winner! I am going to read it a little later on this winter but for now, I am bringing you all the details here!

If you love rom-coms and books that are getting a little buzzy then this might be one you should add to your TBR or snag while you wait in the airport to head home for the holidays! I cannot wait to check it out!
