Last year I had the pleasure of reading Jill Santopolo’s novel, MORE THAN WORDS, and I thought it was an excellent story. Now the paperback is being released and I thought it would be a good time to re-share my review with you guys!

It was an easy four star review for me and I thought about it long after I was finished with it. With Valentines Day just around the corner, now is as good a time as any to pick up this sexy romance, you won’t be disappointed!

The paperback is out now so head to your local bookstore or favorite online book retailer today to secure your copy and get ready to be transported and ready for romance this Valentines season! Continue reading “Re-Post Review: More Than Words by Jill Santopolo” →

Review: An Everyday Hero (A Heart of a Hero #2) by Laura Trentham

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on 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 servedĀ  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 can I say. There is just something so satisfying about a happily ever after that I just can’t say no to! That’s how I came to review this one and I am not at all sorry that I read it! Continue reading “Review: An Everyday Hero (A Heart of a Hero #2) by Laura Trentham” →

Review: The Light After the War by Anita Abriel

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Review: The Light After the War by Anita Abriel

Post WWII era books have become rather popular lately and while I haven’t read too many of them, I thought it would be good to get a few under my belt.

I have read a lot of post WWI era books which I love, but I haven’t read too many post WWII era books and this one sounded like it would provide and interesting glimpse of life after the war and I thought I would enjoy seeing how these characters navigated the post war period.

I liked that the story was based on real events as the author’s mother was a Holocaust survivor so I thought this book would really add a personal touch and perspective that would make a great read! Continue reading “Review: The Light After the War by Anita Abriel” →

Review: Cartier’s Hope by M.J. Rose

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: Cartier’s Hope by M.J. Rose

I feel like I timed this read just right. I had just finished reading a Sebastian St Cyr mystery that featured the Hope Diamond or the French Blue and I was eager to read this one because it too featured the diamond I had been reading about.

I have been a fan of M. J. Rose for a long time as well and it’s been a long time since I’ve read a book by her and as soon as I dove into this one, I remembered how much I loved her books and I can’t believe it’s been so long since I read one!

If you have any interest in the gemstone/diamond industry this book has lots of little details that will excite you and draw you in…..I confess I spent a lot of time on the internet lost in research of the Hope Diamond while I was reading this book and I to me that’s a hallmark of a fabulous book!

Review: The Country Guesthouse (Sullivan’s Crossing #5) by Robyn Carr

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on 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. It has lots of romance and charm to draw readers in for sure! Continue reading “Review: The Country Guesthouse (Sullivan’s Crossing #5) by Robyn Carr” →
