Book Review: Haven Point By Virginia Hume

06-05-2021

Excellent Debut. First off, I have to thank a very particular PR person at St Martin's - they know who they are, I'm not going to publicly name them in this review. I had requested this book on NetGalley around the time I first saw it there, and after several weeks languishing in my "Pending Requests" queue there, I finally contact

Book Review: American Schism By Seth David Radwell

06-02-2021

Intriguing Premise Marred by Hyperpartisanship and Hypocrisy. This is a very well documented polemic whose bibliography comes in at nearly 30% of the text, so that is definitely a positive. The premise, spinning the common American knowledge that the American Founding was grounded on Enlightenment thought on its head and declaring that the wars between Hamilton's

Blog Tour: The Falling Woman By Richard Farrell

06-01-2021

For this blog tour, we're looking at a solid debut featuring tough choices in the aftermath of a disaster. For this blog tour, we're looking at The Falling Woman by Richard Farrell.

First, here's what I had to say about it on Goodreads:

Tough Choices. Great Debut. This is a solidly written, compelling story that is a tremendous debut book. Farrell manages to use a miracle during a disaster to show that miracles... are not always that... while also showing just how complicated and messy real life is in oh so many ways. The mystery is solid enough to keep the reader invested, and then the action kicks into high gear a bit as things begin to unravel. Finally, a choice is made in an instant that will affect numerous lives - and Farrell shows all of this with remarkable reality.

For this final stop of the Slide Into Summer Romance Blog Tour Series, we're looking at a great short romance perfect for your July 4th plans, no matter what they may be. For this stop, we're looking at One Week To Claim It All by Adriana Herrera.

Here's what I had to say about it on Goodreads:

Solid Short Scintillating Summer Story. This is one of those great vacation reads because of its brevity- at around 150 pages, you're not committing to too much, so you can enjoy whatever you're doing on vacation itself and still have a solid escape during downtimes. As to actual trope classification, some might call it enemies to lovers - the couple does in fact start out t

For this penultimate stop on our Slide Into Summer Romance Blog Tour Series, we're looking at a solid second chance Harlequin romance. For this blog tour, we're looking at Second Chance Love Song by Jessica Lemmon.

Here's what I had to say about it on Goodreads:

Solid Harlequin Romance. This is a Harlequin romance of the classic type, though they're trying to get away from the somewhat infamous cover set apparently. :D

For those that love that style - and there is a very clear business reason why the publisher puts out so many books of exactly the same style - know that you're getting exactly what you're after here. Solid romance, a couple of sex scenes, a Hallmarkie typ

Book Review: A Thin Disguise By Catherine Bybee

05-27-2021

Solid, But With A Glaring Error Early. As a romance between an amnesiac assassin and an undercover FBI agent, this story works great. As a continuation of this new Richter series (which is apparently a spinoff from the First Wives series, though I did n
