Mrs. Martin's Incomparable Adventure Spoiler Free Review
As you may know, Courtney Milan is one my absolute favorite authors and I think she’s also an amazing person. I am so lucky to be on her ARC team, but also she’s an auto-buy author for me so this one has already hit my Kindle by the time this review posts. Anyway, I’m telling…

The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton Spoiler Free Review
The cover of The Belles is almost as beautiful as the prose contained in the pages within. Dhonielle Clayton is not only an incredible advocate, she’s also a brilliant writer.

Alisha Rai delivered again. Wrong to Need You was a fantastic follow up to one of my favorite books of 2017.

I am also here for female friendship and sisterhood. So shout…

Defenseless: A Spoiler Free Review
Defenseless by Elizabeth Dyer surprised me by how much I enjoyed it. I was fortunate enough to get this ARC from Netgalley and I procrastinated reading it because… Well, I don’t know, actually, because I loved it. I don’t understand why I can read romantic suspense, but thrillers keep throwing me off. Anyway, I’m getting…

Stay With Me Review & Discussion
Stay With Me by Ayobami Adebayo was the Storytime with Squibbles Book Club pick for October and it was long-listed for the Bailey’s Prize. It was also a fascinating story that made me think, which means you get a book review that is spoiler free and then we’ll move into a discussion section because I…

Touch of Red by Laura Griffin is actually the twelfth book of the Tracers series, but you do not need to have read all of the books in the series to dive in because each book can be read as a standalone. However, you will miss seeing glimpses of some of your favorite couples if…
