Review: The Inheritance - Book #1 Happy Endings Resort Series - Jennifer Benson - February 2015 There’s something rather magical about the idea of inheriting a place you never even knew existed. Imagine opening a letter one day and discovering that somewhere out there is a whole resort with your name on it,  a bit like stumbling across a hidden bach at the beach you didn’t know your family owned. That’s the premise behind The Inheritance by Jennifer Benson, the first book in the Happy Endings Resort series. At twenty-six, Rory London is feeling a bit lost in life. She doesn’t have much to show for herself and is pretty much alone in the world.

Review: What Stil Burns - Elle Grawl - August 2023 There's something oddly comforting about scrolling through your Kindle library when you can't decide what to read next. That's exactly how I stumbled upon What Still Burns by Elle Grawl, and I'm glad I did—though with some reservations. Having previously enjoyed Grawl's One of Those Faces , I was eager to see what she'd deliver next. This psychological thriller gave me strong vibes of Roz Watkins' The Red House , with its small-town secrets and buried family trauma. The premise immediately hooked me: Alexis (Lexi) lost her entire family in a devastating fire as a child and was raised by her aunt. When her aunt dies, Lexi discovers she's inherited the family home—the very place where her nightmares began. Returning to her small hometown to prepare the house for sale, Lexi finds herself confronting suppressed memories and questioning everything she thought she knew about that tragic night. Was the fire ...

Review: You Don't Know Me - Theo Baxter - June 2025 Y'all, let me tell you about the latest page-turner that had me questioning every knock at my door! When I spotted You Don't Know Me on a Zooloos Book Tours list, I practically dove headfirst into my Kindle. I've been riding the Theo Baxter train for a while now, and this psychological thriller? It did NOT disappoint. Picture this: You're already drowning in grief over your father's death, waiting for the will reading like some twisted family game show, when BAM! The police show up with news that your mother's been killed in a hit-and-run. Talk about life serving you a double helping of nightmare soup. The Marconi siblings—Izzy, Annabelle, and Harry—are suddenly planning two funerals instead of one inheritance meeting. But wait, there's more! (Because apparently the universe has a sick sense of humor.) At dad's funeral, enter stage left: Mary and her wheelchair-bound companion David. Plot twist t...

Review: The Inheritance - Kate Horan - January 2025 I am fascinated with DNA testing and have gotten mine done so I have found books that contain the topic fascinating and was excited when I received the ARC from HarperCollins NZ. The book starts with Meg visiting her mother Jenny in the rest home as she has dementia. Her mother calls her not only Tina but also mentions the place, Hartley. Meg had never heard of Hartley and doesn't know who Tina is, so being the journalist that she is at heart she decides to pitch a story about Hartley Gaol and a rich elite family taking over the town -the Ashworth’s. While in town Meg spends some time asking questions and soon finds out that everything, she knew about her mother was a lie and that something bad must have happened here in Hartley. Meg gets Georgia - a girl who could be her potential cousin to take a DNA test which she does, at the same time Isobel Ashworth has also taken a DNA test and the results match with Meg as a close relative...

Title: Well Played Authors:  Vi Keeland &  Penelope Ward Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative Photo: Celso Colaco Model:  Gonçalo Teixeira Release Date: October 25, 2021 BLURB It all started with a bet. When my young son inherited half of his great grandfather’s historic inn, I decided to move us both to the place where I grew up. Notice I said half of the Inn. The other half now belonged to Levi Miller, the famous quarterback who had other ideas about what we should do with the property. We won’t mention that I accidentally injured him during our first meeting, causing him to get eight stitches. You could say we got off on the wrong foot. We bickered a lot as we both moved into the property while we figured things out. He wanted to unload the rundown place which, admittedly, needed a lot of work. I wanted to restore The Palm Inn to its original beauty and re-open it as a bed and breakfast. We couldn’...
