Meeting Millie by Clare Ashton
A delightful rom-com This book started breaking my heart from the very beginning, even as it made me laugh. A quarter in, I knew it was touching something very intimate in me, about friendship and caring (or not caring) about people, about needing them (or not needing them) in one’s life. Charlotte Albright is back […]
Catch by Kris Bryant
Kris Bryant always writes characters I can’t help loving Being a woman in the NFL is no mean feat but Sutton McCoy made it. Not as a quarterback like when she was in high school but as the next best thing: she’s the new offensive coordinator for an NFL expansion team. Little does she know […]

Taking Flight by TC Parker
A funny and sweet romcom novella I really wish I enjoyed horror more than I do. Because that’s what T.C. Parker is known for and if what I’ve read by her so far, in genres that are not what she’s known for, is this good, I’m pretty sure her favoured genre is all kinds of […]
These Thin Lines by Milena McKay
Another breathtaking book by Milena McKay Vi Courtenay doesn’t know what to expect when she arrives for the first day of her internship – an internship chosen for her by her family – at Lilien Haus of Fashion but it’s certainly not to literally fall at the feet of the most beautiful woman she’s ever […]
Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail (Bright Falls #2) by Ashley Herring Blake, narrated by Kristen DeMercurio
The perfect romcom to get the year started Almost a year ago, I read my first book by this author, Delilah Green Doesn’t Care, and I almost immediately knew it would make my end-of-the-year list. I was very much looking forward to the next book, Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail, but for some reason, while the […]
Unexpected by Jennie Frame, narrated by Nicola Victoria Vincent
A great performance by Nicola Victoria Vincent I’m trying to tackle my long TBR list and this book seemed the perfect choice to start. The fact that the audiobook version is narrated by Nicola Victoria Vincent, an outstanding British narrator, made it hard to resist. Business owner Dale McGuire’s life is upended when a 10-year-old […]
