I slacked off in my reading in the second part of the year. Who knows how great my final number could have been if I kept up my beginning of the year pace. But life happens. I will say this was a great year in books for me. I read some amazing... Continue Reading →
Oh, this book was super cute. Magda and Ty were adorable. It was a sort of enemies to lovers thing but not really enemies... but they were on opposite sides of the issue of a community garden. I enjoyed the flow of the tale and the back story of both characters. It added to their... Continue Reading →
Let me start off by saying this book was a pleasant surprise. DL White is one of my favs and I wasn't sure when to expect something new from her. This book did not disappoint. Taj Wright, aka Nurse Dude, was an amazingly layered character. As was Miss Girard... also known as Evonne. Phew... both... Continue Reading →
Okay... y'all... Selena and Dre are on my fav list. This story was great. I especially love the twist that I was sure wouldn't happen (cause if I wrote it, it would have happened) but it really did happen (and I squealed like a four-year-old little girl). I liked how it was tied to another... Continue Reading →
I got a copy of this from Netgalley and I am so glad I did. I have at least two other Therese Beharrie books in my Kindle Library and now I am super excited to read them. I loved this book. Piper and Caleb were such interesting and layered characters. There was so much growth... Continue Reading →
Book two in the Sugar Lake series had me at hello. I loved Drea in the first book. Then when we get some of Mrs. Betty... Listen... I adore Mrs. Betty. She is my kinda lady! Her and Aunt Joyce give me life. Drea and Kellen aren't exactly enemies to lovers. And I actually love... Continue Reading →
I had this book sitting in my Kindle Cloud and was going to get around to it but got distracted. Then I joined Net Galley and was able to get an advanced copy of the second book in the series. So, of course, I need to read the first book first. That is how these... Continue Reading →
Okay, let me start by saying I absolutely adored this series. So much so... that we are going to start the review like this: Now that we have gotten that out of the way... Seriously though... The Love Sisters are cousins to the Wright Brothers, another favorite series by Christina C. Jones. At the... Continue Reading →
Mac & Teri... *pauses* *shakes head* Okay. I want to start by saying I loved this book. Now... their marriage was a trip. Given his line of work, this makes perfect sense though. His personality and time away from home would naturally lead to this. *pauses* No spoilers. So, anyway, this story is not what... Continue Reading →
This book... Y'all... Drake LeVeq... I have honestly been sitting on this for several days. I finished the book and was in awe. I seriously considered heading to New Orleans to find this man's ancestors. Beverly Jenkins did an amazing job on this story. She slayed all the words. ALL OF... Continue Reading →
