Love in Due Time (Green Valley Library, #1)


Review: Love in Due Time - Book #1 Green Valley Public Library Series - L.B Dunbar - October 2019

I had been looking forward to reading this book for a couple of reasons. Reason A) It was a Smartypants Romance, B) It is about a librarian and C) the Green Valley is where the Winston Brothers were based, so I knew my chances of seeing them in this particular story would have been medium to high. Love in Due Time is about a librarian named Naomi Winters, she is single and nearing her forties and has only ever loved one man - Nate aka Nathan Ryder. The thing is though that she has never let herself ever get close to someone as she believes she is cursed and that if she falls for a man and he kisses her then tragedy will occur. So instead, she let her hair grow out to gray and hides in her black clothes and lets the town of Green Valley believe she is a spinster witch. When deep down, she is a single librarian who is hurting and won't let anyone get close to her as the last person she let in died which was Bethany Winston - her librarian mentor. This made me sad as I remember reading in one of the Winston Brother books that she was ill and Love in Due Time is set six years after her death as she is mentioned a few times. Nathan Ryder is back in town with his two daughters - a town he vowed never to set foot back in after a run-in with the Iron Wraiths - the MC Gang. Years ago he was set to patch in but met a gorgeous girl and was late to the ceremony. That girl was Naomi and he has never forgotten her.  Can Nathan regain Naomi's love and help her to believe that she is capable of being loved and that she definitely isn't cursed? As a fellow Librarian, what I really loved about this book was that each of the chapters was named after Dewey Decimal Classifications - this resonated with the librarian nerd in me. Love in Due Time by LB Dunbar had not only Books, Libraries, Romantic Comedy, Romance and Families but also a Suspense, Stalking and Bullying side to the book. There is something for everyone, just like a Library with L.B Dunbar's Smartypants Romance - Love In Due Time.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
