For this blog tour, we're looking at a book that represents a refreshing change of pace for its author. For this blog tour, we're looking at Beach Reads And Deadly Deeds by Allison Brennan.

First, the review I posted to the book sites (BookBub.com / BookHype.com / Goodreads.com / TheStoryGraph.com) and YouTube:

Brennan Expands Her Storytelling In A New And Refreshing Direction. Long time fans of Brennan, and even those who have only started reading her this decade like me, know she is most well known for very *dark* murder tales and the teams investigating them.

This book is not that. At all. While it retains *some* elements of that - bodies are piling up rather rapidly at a small private island resort - this is much more a pure romantic suspense with strong island vibes. Thus, we get a lot more tropical/ island feel here than is typical of Brennan's writing to date... and that is an *amazing* thing to see, as she executes it so well. About the only thing Brennan could have done to be even more different than her usual style would be to go pure bubblegum pop romcom,

For this blog tour, we're looking at an *almost* erotica level romcom whose plot still manages to pack a punch. For this blog tour, we're looking at Seven Year Itch by Amy Daws.

First, the review I posted to the book sites (BookBub.com / BookHype.com / Goodreads.com / TheStoryGraph.com) and YouTube:

Sexual Exploration Romcom. The title of this review says it all. This is *easily* one of the actually closest to erotica romcoms I've ever encountered, with pretty well the entire plot focused around sexual exploration and a somewhat thin, yet still fun and compelling, plot wrapped around that to tie the sex scenes together.

I would say the comedic elements here are fewer and further between than they were in Nine Month Contract, but they're still present - and the animals (primarily a cat in this tale, which first appeared in Nine Month Contract) don't quite steal the scenes as much in this tale, despite being nearly equally present.

Instead, this book revolves more around healing from past traumas of both halves of our main couple, including one particular event seven years ago that may not have gone down exactly as each

Apparently Controversial. Fucking Hilarious. Near-Perfect (If Unusual) Romcom. I picked up this book specifically because I agreed to work its sequel (Seven Year Itch) as a blog tour... before realizing that book was a sequel. When I found out, I knew I needed to read this book first.

Now, upfront, I've read a LOT of boo

Orwellian. 1984 was originally published in 1949 - 76 yrs and 2 days before the publication of this book - and its final line in particular is echoed in this book. (Not revealing it here so as to avoid spoilers

Workable Romcom With Slightly Too Much Bigotry. Ok, so I worded that title to get perhaps more eyeballs than a less confrontational title would have gotten. Here's the situation, and it is absolutely one that some will love and others will despise, so just be aware of it up front and make your own decision - but don't be mad at Schorr or me if you read the book and don't like it because of what I'm about to tell you, because if you read through the end of this review, YOU. HAVE. BEEN. WARNED.

The situation is

And I know you're asking, seriously, dude? Hitler? THAT Hitler? In Heaven???? And the recently deceased Pope Francis, the freaking POPE, the HEAD OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH POPE,

For this blog tour, we're looking at a thinking person's thriller. For this blog tour, we're looking at The Expat Affair by Kimberly Belle.

First, the review I posted to the book sites (BookBub.com / BookHype.com / Goodreads.com / TheStoryGraph.com) and YouTube:

Thinking Person's Thriller In Directions Perhaps Belle Didn't Intend. This is one of those kinds of books that I really like because it tells a kickass suspense/ thriller tale, and if that's all you want... there you go. But *just* below the surface, it also makes some points that in all honesty, knowing Belle for several years now and seeing several of her political posts on social media... I honestly don't think she meant to make.

As a surface level thriller, this tale works quite well with both of its leads being American expats who find themselves connected to one part of Amsterdam's diamond trade when all hell begins to break loose. Even at this surface level, the amount of intrigue and suspense Belle manages to layer into this barely over 300 page tale is rather astonishing, really. Lesser authors likely wouldn't have been able to qu
