Review: Architecture and Artistry - Book #11 Green Valley Library Series - Nora Everly -October 2022 Back in 2019, Smartypants Romance first released their books all set in the "PennyVerse" aka The World of Penny Reid's series and I have been hooked on their books ever since. Every time I read one and I am transported back to Green Valley, Tennessee - my heart is warmed. I do enjoy her other ones based on the Knitting series but my main love lies with her books set around the small town where the Winston Brothers were set. Readers will remember that Green Valley Library started with the Matriach of the Winston Family working there and now has evolved into a series of eleven titles. Architecture and Artistry will have us meeting Willa's younger sister Sadie Hill. Sadie after being left deserted and broken by her soon-to-be ex-husband when they can find him, has moved back to Green Valley with her twin boys Flynn and Rider - named after the hero in Tangled and living wi...

Review: Folk Around and Find Out - Book #2 Good Folk Series - Penny Reid - October 2022 If there is one place, I love reading books set it is in Green Valley, Tennessee and I just adore Penny Reid as an author as every time I read a book set in Green Valley, I feel like I am being reunited with my favorite characters all over again. I just love also how all her series overlap, so no matter which one you read - you catch glimpses of characters you have fallen in love with and storylines that make you go - ah, that's right.  In Book #2 of Good Folk, we are reunited with Charlotte Mitchell who people will remember was dating Jackson James - the sheriff for a little while before he got with Rae. Charlotte's husband has run off and the town blamed Hank Weller, that is except for Charlotte. Now with her cousin Heather missing and the stripper bar being her only lead - Charlotte must ask Hank for a job. Hank blames Charlotte for his lack of business and the backlash he received from t...

He needs to get her out of his system. Just once... Folk Around and Find out, a small town, second chance contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Penny Reid is now available! Hank Weller doesn’t help people. He leaves that do-gooder nonsense to his best friend, Beau Winston. Hank does what he wants, when he wants, with whomever he wants—and Hank does not want to hire Charlotte Mitchell to be an exotic dancer at his club, The Pink Pony. Sure, he can’t help noticing the dips and curves of her, how shrewd, smart, and funny she is, the fire in her hazel eyes. He's always noticed. She’d probably draw a crowd and entice the regulars. But after Charlotte's messy, public divorce made Hank’s club out to be the culprit—and made her the single mother of four kids—he doesn’t need or want any additional bad press courtesy of Charlotte Mitchell. Or the distraction. Unfortunately for him, the town’s prettiest charity case doesn’t seem to understand th...

Review: Totally Folked - Book #1 Good Folk Series - Penny Reid - July 2021 Set five years after the prequel Book #0.5 which was called Just Folking Around which saw Jackson James and Raquel Ezra meeting and having a one-night stand as Sienna and Jethro Winston tied the knot. Despite Raquel wanting to stay, she left anyway. During the five years, the two changed as Raquel ended up getting engaged to Harrison - a fellow actor and receiving all the big roles and becoming a popular actress and Jackson James when his father retired took up the role of Sheriff of Green Valley. Along with both their new careers, Jackson also became sensible and decided to put his playboy ways behind him as his father had drilled that a Sheriff had to act a certain way and settle down.  Jackson chose his friend Charlotte who is a single mother of 4. The pair enjoy each other's company, but the chemistry isn't sizzling. Now five years on, Raquel is tired of Hollywood and needs a change of scenery and ...

Could it be that Green Valley's most eligible—and notorious—bachelor longs for something (and someone) real? Mega movie star Raquel Ezra follows only one rule: always leave them wanting more. Strict adherence to this single rule has serv...
