REDEEMING LOVE is a powerful love story between a former prostitute and a farmer but it's also an allegory of God's love. This retelling of the Book of Hosea is set during the height of the Gold Rush. Emotional, heart-wrenching, and rich in love, this story captured my heart ...

Book Review – Run Away With Me by Mila Gray
Mila Gray is back with another contemporary romance about two best friends who pick up where they left off seven years ago. I really enjoyed Mila Gray's Come Back to Me, which is a military romance in the same vein as this friends-to-lovers second chance romance. However, ...
Book Review – Sugar Daddy by Lisa Kleypas
Lisa Kleypas's contemporary romance debut, SUGAR DADDY, is a blend of a coming-of-age story and a love story. Liberty Jones's voice is charming and I felt immediately connected to her and her story from page one. Though, I felt frustrated with how the romance (or should I ...
Audiobook Review – You Had Me At Hello by Mhairi McFarlane
"The problem is, after all these years, I can't think of anyone I'd more like to slowly go off, see get senile and die than Ben." Two former best friends reconnect after not seeing each other for ten years. She's newly single and he's....married. Quick-witted characters, an ...
Audiobook Review – Boundless by Cynthia Hand
I can measure my enjoyment of a book or series by how much I'm going to miss the characters once I close the book. Clara, Tucker, Christian, and the gang—at the time of writing this review I had just finished it the night before. I hate that I don't have more time with ...
Audiobook Review – Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
How come no one warned me that I would be a emotional wreck after reading MOCKINGJAY? The ending of this book has to be one of the best and most emotional endings to a series I've ever experienced. This series is very difficult to read, as it deals with heavy subject matter ...
Book Review – Bright Side by Kim Holden
Kim Holden's BRIGHT SIDE has been on my radar since it came out. I love a good bookish ugly cry, so I picked it up in hopes of feeling the same emotional kick in the gut as everyone else. However, this one did very little for me emotionally. The writing was blatant and ...
Audiobook Review – Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
I didn't think the Capitol could get any crueler and then I read CATCHING FIRE. The second installment of this international phenomenon is the kind of thrilling that kept me on the edge of my seat! President Snow isn't happy with how the 74th annual Hunger Games ended, ...
Book Review – Skygods by Sarah Latchaw
Second chance romance junkies will enjoy SKYGODS, the continuation to Kaye and Samuel's story from Hydraulic Level Five. Even though the story veered off in a different and less compelling direction, I still felt invested in the characters and enjoyed the story ...
Book Review – Arabella Park: Season 1 by Meiling
"These teenagers really got themselves into some deep trouble." That's what I kept saying while reading this book. Evan Tyler's (writing as Meiling) young adult is a mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end. Mimi Nvarro disappears without a trace, and her best ...
