The story telling in this one was so good! I didn’t do the Tandem read and I am ok with it maybe someday.

This is the story of a new elderly widow that is learning how to make her life her own for the first time. There are some great side characters in this book that are family and found family. It was a nice quick read that was heartwarming.

I read this one way too fast! I’m so sad it’s over already. I just want to live in Rome, Kentucky. This was the perfect enemies to lovers story. I loved how Sarah Adam’s represented anxiety and depression. It was so raw and relatable. Now bring on Maddie’s story!

June Farrow is part of a line of women that all eventually go mad and she is determined to have it end with her. After her grandmother dies she finds out a huge family secret that takes her on a time traveling adventure. This was an amazing story full of twists and turns. It is a story of love and family like nothing I have ever read. This book is so worth the hype it has received.

I loved what this book represented and the diverse characters. Anna Maria and her 2 sisters are sent to London from Mexico to the protection of their uncle. After mixing with the members of high society they are both liked and loathed. When their lives are in danger a handsome Mr. Fox saves the day. It really picked up towards the end and shaped into a good story. I loved the author’s note at the end. If you love regency books you will love this one.

This as such a cute and unique book. I love books with a touch of magical realism. Is it believable….no but it’s fun! That is the beauty of it. To allow your imagination to take you to another world. This book is for all the readers who would love to spend a day in the world of their favorite books.

I don’t know how it is possible but this is my favorite of the series so far. It was absolutely amazing in every way. It is packed full of action and also love. Love between lovers, friends, family and dragons. Perfection.

I love a bad ass female character and this FMC is the epitome of that. A dead senator, a top notch female detective, a slew of suspects and an ex from the past make this an exciting read. I love mysteries because you just don’t want to stop reading! This was amazingly done and I can’t wait to read the next one in the series.
