Review: The Edens: A Legacy Story - Book #4.5 The Edens - Devney Perry - April 2023 A family saga that I have enjoyed and read all of the books was The Edens Family set in Quincy, Montana. Each of their books was amazing and now if you have ever wondered how the parents Harrison and Anne got together, here's your chance as turns out that Harrison and Anne used to be high school sweethearts, and then on their last day of High School, they broke up and went their separate ways - now a few years later Anne is back in Quincy, Montana with her friends and they have invited Harrison along. Is this a chance for Harrison and Anne to clear the air and have their second chance at romance? I also loved the last sentence on the last page if you have read The Edens series, you will smile to yourself as it sets the scene for the following books. A bonus too is that this book is a short novella so it makes it a quick and easy read ready to hit that romance itch. Amazon: https://amzn.to/3N5YsT...

Review: Bookworm - Katana Collins - May 2024 As a fellow bookworm, this cover and book caught my attention, books about books are my jam.

Note to self: Don’t Drink and Antique! Bookworm, an all-new college workplace, second chance romance with a bookworm heroine and a romance novel hero from USA Today bestselling author Katana Collins is now available! That’s how you wake up hungover, having spent your entire life savings on a first edition of Pride and Prejudice… that your cat just peed all over. To make matters worse, you also drunkenly emailed every Ivy League university last night and sold the nearly priceless cat-pee book to Dartmouth. In my defense, I was celebrating finally getting my masters degree in library science with a focus in book restoration from Oxford University. And let’s be honest, I’m sort of awesome when drunk. I not only leveraged a book sale for a profit, but I also talked my way into an eight-week freelance gig restoring books in my hometown of New Hampshire at the Dartmouth library. What’s less awesome? Realizing the Dartmouth English Literary professor who hired me is ...

Review: Second Time's The Charm - Stephanie Rose - May 2024 I have had a couple of months without my e-reader as it decided to die on me and then thank god for partners,  as my partner surprised me with a brand new Kindle Paperwhite for my birthday which meant I could get back to reading on my ebook reader. YAY. Stephanie Rose's book caught my attention as I am a sucker for second-chance romances as my personal story with my partner is just that. The book starts twenty years ago when our main characters were 17/18 years old and off to college/university. They have been high school sweethearts and dating right through the four years. Everything was great until Jesse dropped a big bombshell on Emily and shattered her heart into tiny pieces. The pair never saw each other or spoke a word again till twenty years later when Emily and Sabrina decide to attend their high school 20th reunion and run into Jesse and Caden. Caden was Sabrina's friend with benefits right through high sc...
