I can heartily recommend both.

This Rec League is from Jordan. Thanks, Jordan! The Mummy (1999) is one of my favorite movies, and I would love to find more books that match its Action-Adventure-Romance vibes. I’ve read and loved Mr. Impossible by Loretta Chase and As You Desire by Connie Brockway. Both of these take place in Egypt, but that is not necessarily a requirement. Settings like the Amazon and Africa could be fun, too! Fantasy/horror twists are also welcome. … Continue reading The Rec League: The Mummy Vibes →

His stepsister moved away and is now back. The stepsister starts taking a lot of the husband’s time. The wife overhears her husband and his stepsister talking and figure out they were in love before the … Continue reading HaBO: Husband Might Be in Love with His Stepsister →
