Review: Three Single Wives - Gina Lamanna - September 2020 This book's cover grabbed me as I just loved the juxtaposition of the glass shards with the three women's faces in them. This book starts at a book club promoting Marguerite Hill's new Self-Help book all about females taking back what was taken from the males in their lives and gaining back their freedom - the book was called Taking Charge. The conversation flows with wine and then turns a bit dark as they end up bringing up the topic of hypotheticals of how would they kill their husbands or partners. Would they use a gun, poison, or a knife? Would they make it look like a suicide or an accident or would they frame someone else for murder? The book then jumps to the present time and we are at a court trial where Penny, Eliza, and Anne are on the stand as one of the husbands has been murdered and now they are all being looked at as suspects. The book then jumps back timelines to how the four women first met each ot...

Review: The Summer Girl - Book #3 Avalon Bay Series - Elle Kennedy - July 2023 In an effort to clear my bookshelf of my physical copies as I counted at the start of the year and I had 412 books sitting there unread. It has been interesting though as to be completely honest, most of the physical books I have tried to read, they have been just so damn boring and blah and end up going straight into my "to donate" pile.  However, I knew that I would enjoy Elle Kennedy's book as she is an author whose every title I have loved and she is just easy to read. The other great thing was that even though was Book #3 of the Avalon Bay series, it could easily be read as a standalone and you don't need to have read the other two in order to get the gist of the story as I haven't yet and I still managed to enjoy and understand this book just fine. Cassie Soul is back in Avalon Bay for the Summer and staying with her grandmother who has just sold her business, the hotel that has ...

Review: The Thinnest Air - Minka Kent - July 2018 January has been the month for thrillers and also I am finding cleaning my Kindle of the older titles that had been sitting there for a while as I am finding for certain that the older books are the ones I have been enjoying more than recent releases. One of my favorite thriller writers that I have seemed to enjoy most of her published books bar one is Minka Kent. The Thinnest Air starts with Greer's sister Meredith falling in love with a wealthier man Andrew. Greer has never really liked him. Meredith is also Andrew's second wife and we do see that Andrew has got a bit of a temper and controlling spirit, but Meredith loves him or so she thought. We also read in this book, that Meredith has a stalker and this leads her to meet the Detective and the pair strike up an affair and close relationship. One day Meredith vanishes and doesn't come home. Where has she disappeared too and why has she gone? Enter Greer who heads to th...

Review: The Last Field Party - Book #7 The Field Party Series - Abbi Glines - November 2022 As a mood reader, there are a few series that I began years ago and then with new books coming out, they got pushed aside, and now some of them I am determined to finish. One of those series for me is The Field Party by Abbi Glines. I first began this series 5 years ago in 2020 and now January 2025, I have finally finished and read Book #7 The Last Field Party. This book is set 5 years after Book #6 finished and I am glad that I got to read this one and that the author decided to create it as it gave all the couples a HEA and a great rounded finish. This was an epilogue of short stories as it focuses on each of the 6 book couples that we had previously and tells their HEA story whether it be second chance romance, overcoming obstacles like miscommunication, pregnancies, adoptions and all centered around the small town of Lawton, Alabama. The book also has the overall theme of "the last fi...
