The Right Swipe (Modern Love, #1)

Review: The Right Swipe - Book #1 Modern Love Series - Alisha Rai - August 2019
After reading some mysteries and sexy romances, I was in the mood for a meet-cute chick-lit type read.  Our book starts when we meet Rhiannon who has gone undercover to meet her competition before the big panel interview tomorrow on live TV.  After being humiliated by her former boss at Swype, Rhiannon decided to create with the help of her best friend a new company called Crush and in doing so she put up some nicely guarded walls around her heart as not to be hurt again. Crush's #1 competition is an OG dating site called Matchmaker which deals in surveys and matching people on compatibility and algorithms. Their owner Annabelle also happens to be a recluse. Imagine though her surprise when the one guy whom she let her walls down for and then he ghosted her, turns out to be Samson Lima - Annabelle's nephew. Samson tried to find her but of course by then she had deleted her profile and it doesn't help that she had used her middle name "Claire".  During the book, we read as Samson tries to win Rhiannon's love back and get her to give him a second chance. We also learn a lot more about Rhiannon's background and why she is the way she is - a successful businesswoman and a recluse like Annabelle and that she may have more in common with Samson's aunt than she realizes. I have to admit The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai was a slow-burn romance but it wasn't a book that I had to persevere as I loved all the characters especially Annabelle's eccentricity.  If you are on the lookout for a mixed-race meet-cute read by an author of color then check out The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai today. Fans of Jasmine Guillory's series The Wedding Date and Alexa Martin's Playbook series will feel right at home with Alisha Rai's The Right Swipe.

It's time for serial killer time to strike again with Sean Slater's new Detective Jacob Striker novel out titled with the same name as a popular children's game "Snakes and Ladders". Review: Snakes and Ladders - Detective Jacob Striker Book #2 - Sean Slater - March 2012 It's amazing how much a cover can get you to read a book and then you discover, well I actually like this author as I picked up Sean Slater's first book "The Survivor" due to the fact that the cover had a hockey mask and reminded me of Friday the 13th and I really enjoyed the novel as well as the fact it was a school shooting which for some reason I enjoy reading about as it fascinates me ( just to add - I'm not pyschotic LOL) . When I discovered Sean Slater had a new one coming out, I picked it up and was again fascinated and drawn in as he had chosen another angle and field that I am interested in probably due to the fact that my dad works in that industry of mental health...

A Love Letter From Emily White - Author

A Love Letter from Emily White to her Readers: It's a month for love and there's nothing I love more about the publishing life than meeting new readers. That's why, a few months ago, I made a pretty huge announcement. I doubt it had any far-reaching effects. And I seriously doubt many people even heard about it. But I want everyone to know: After doing ALL the things and checking off ALL the lists, I never really felt like I'd accomplished anything in my career. I'd grown up dreaming about signing a contract with a publishing company, and I did that. But after that was done, I dreamt about the next contract, and having my books read around the world, and maybe hitting a bestseller list. And I did all that. But still not so much happiness. I had moments of happiness. Of absolute joy, even. And it hit me last November that those moments came when I was meeting new readers or getting emails from them. They came in certain minutes of the day when a...
