Review: Corkscrew You - Catherine Robertson

Review: Corkscrew You - Book #1 Flora Valley Series- July 2024 When I saw a couple of months ago, the upcoming releases from HarperCollins NZ, this one caught my attention for three reasons. The first was that Catherine Robertson is a New Zealand author and I love supporting authors from my own country as they just feel a little more special, the second was the setting of San Francisco and Sonoma County as in 2013, I spent a week in San Francisco and also had an author friend who had a place in Sonoma County which we had talked about seeing but due to time restraints, it didn't work out. The third reason was of course the book title and the fact it was a contemporary romance. Corkscrew You takes place in a small town called Flora Valley and is more so based at Flora Valley Winery where we have Shelby who for the past six months been trying to keep her father's vineyard and winery dreams alive as he passed away and she was the only one of her siblings/family willing to continu

The Echo on the Water JA Huss Publication date: July 25th 2024 Genres: Adult, Romance, Suspense Rosie Harlow is desperately seeking … well, she’s not sure. A romance would be nice but so would a dinner conversation with her pre-teen son. Too bad her boy is way too busy growing up to pay his mama any attention. Rosie never meant to swear off men and she’s not frigid—you don’t become a single mom at fifteen by being frigid—but this dry spell of hers has gotten out of hand and something must be done. Enter Amon Parrish. Back in high school Amon was voted most likely to get caught with his pants down. He was a trouble maker. The quintessential bad boy. But twelve years away from home, traveling the world and working with Collin Creed doing super-secret (and somewhat illegal) things, changed all that. These days Amon Parrish is a brand-new, stand-up man. And, to Rosie’s surprise, a romantic man as well. Because he has decided to court her . And this is not just any ordinary court

Review: Sable Peak - Devney Perry (The Edens #6)

Review: Sable Peak - Book #6 The Edens - Devney Perry - December 2023 This review is a bittersweet one as it comes to the end of the Eden series, besides the last two novellas I have to read.  I have enjoyed this series overall as I do love reading family sagas where each of the books are based on one of the members of the family and it's great too if the family is a "big one" as it means more books for the readers. In the Eden family, we have one more child left - their youngest son Matteo. At the end of the previous book, which was Lyla and Vance's story - Crimson River, we meet Vera Gallagher who was the daughter of Cormac - the guy who attacked Lyla and who Vance thought was dead and murdered along with her other sisters and mother.  In the past months, after Cormac disappeared and Vera stayed behind to try and get a normal life built for her,  she had been living with Lyla and Vance. Now though, she has moved into the loft of one of the other Edens. When Vera fir

Review: The Housemaid - Freida McFadden

Review : The Housemaid - Book #1 The Housemaid Series - Freida McFadden - April 2022 Previously, I had read a few of Freida's standalone books which I have enjoyed and I had the first two of this series on my bookshelf. This is one of her books that has been very popular and at first I was a tad nervous to pick it up as I wasn't sure what my reaction would be as the last one of this author's I tried The Co-worker ended up being a DNF.  The Housemaid starts with a young woman fresh out of prison and she applies for a job as a live-in maid for a wealthy family. At first appearances, this job looks too good to be true and soon Millie will understand as when she turns up on the first day, the house is a pig sty, and Nina - doesn't look anything like the woman that interviewed her. This looks like Nina's unhinged crazy twin sister. As the book goes along, Millie almost quits a few times as she not only discovers that Nina Winchester has a Dr Jekyll /Mr Hyde personality b
