Review: PS You're Mine - Alexa Riley - January 2016 Being in a reading slump always sucks as it's like everything you try is just so blah and nothing is holding your attention. When I start to feel like this, I scroll through my Kindle and grab authors that I know I will enjoy, and more often this scratches the reading itch. Alexa Riley is an author I hadn't read in years, but if you are a fan of instalove romances and sometimes ones that are just great feelgoods - then she is the author for you. In PS You're Mine, we meet high school teacher Katie Lovely whose class is currently partaking in a pen pal programme with the military. After handing out the names, she realizes that there is one left so she takes it upon herself and starts writing letters to Sergeant Major Mark Gunner. As I was reading this, I had the feeling that he looked like the character that plays Young Gibbs on NCIS Origins. As the book goes along, Katie and Mark continue writing letters and she send...

Review: All Rhodes Lead Here - Mariana Zapata

Image
Review: All Rhodes Lead Here - Mariana Zapata - April 2021 This book and others from this author have been on my TBR bookshelf for a while and I kept putting it off as readers had talked about how Mariana Zapata was the Queen of slow-burn romance and more often books that are all about slow-burn are the other sort of slow - slow paced and boring as nothing happens. However, that was not the case in All Rhodes Lead Here by Mariana Zapata, as this book seemed to hold its own as though the romance was slow-burn and didn't happen till near the end of the book, the storyline was good enough that it carried most of the book. The book starts with our female MC finally standing up for herself and breaking free of the bonds she had for the past fourteen years. She has packed up, booked an Air BNB, and headed back to her hometown in the mountains of Colorado. When Aurora arrives, she discovers things aren't quite as they seem as the owner of the house doesn't know anything about her ...
