Book Review

Welcome to Murder Week by Karen Dukess

Welcome to Murder Week

I don’t enjoy reading women’s fiction and this book is women’s fiction, so please keep that in mind when you read this review. I shall do my best to correct for my preferences, but it’s best to be upfront about these things. So why on earth did I pick it up? Well, it was the premise you see. It totally sucked me in. I was so curious how this set up would unfold because this … Continue reading Welcome to Murder Week by Karen Dukess

HaBO: Harlequin Monthly with a Pink Wineglass

This HaBO comes from Robyn, who is looking for this Harlequin: I have been searching for a book I read a long time ago. I’m almost positive it was from one of those monthly shipments from Harlequin (I think it came with a pink wineglass). The basic story is pretty common – an estranged couple is forced back together. The husband is a traditional Greek billionaire and the woman was from England, I think. His … Continue reading HaBO: Harlequin Monthly with a Pink Wineglass

Hooked by Emily McIntire

Hooked

If you’re curious about this book, please check triggers. The author has a more comprehensive list on her website. Hooked is a dark, contemporary mafia romance with lots of winks and nods to Peter Pan. It’s the first book in the Never After series, which is a reimagining of known fairytales and House of Mouse movies, but with villains as the love interests. This is your common revenge story of a man wanting revenge against … Continue reading Hooked by Emily McIntire

Cover Awe: Warmth and Softness

A woman sits on the back of her caravan which is parked in a green field at night. A cat sits up beside her. Both are lit from a nearby campfire and lanterns hanging from the wagon.

Welcome back to Cover Awe! Cover illustration by Cynthia Sheppard Amanda: Love the eye contact on this one! Sarah: This cover is an incredible balance of stillness between their faces and movement with all the fabric. The composition is flawless. Lara: I’m rather taken with the bouffant hair. I feel it adds to the cover rather nicely. Cover illustration by Alexis Lampley Sarah: Oooh my! Elyse: The dress spacesuit is chef’s kiss. Sarah: She looks … Continue reading Cover Awe: Warmth and Softness
