  • September Contemporary ARC Reviews: The Shaadi Set Up, A Lot Like Adiós, and With You Forever

    September has been a good month for contemporary romances in my view because all three of these books were excellent. They are also all out because even when I’m closer to on time with my reviews than I’ve been in a while, I’m still running late with them. I have to thank Netgalley an the…

  • August Wrap Up

    So… “August slipped away like a moment in time” is definitely an apt lyric because wow, did the month fly by.
