I’m really sad that I didn’t enjoy The Unholy by Heather Graham as much as I did the others in this series. I wonder if some of that has to do with the audio narration. If I’m being honest I didn’t get too much into the story. 1940s Hollywood just isn’t something I’m overly interested in. I really did enjoy Humphrey Bogart’s character in the […]

It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kleypas *Stephanie’s Review*
Too much time had passed since I read Secrets of a Summer Night and I wanted to finish my re-read of the Wallflower series before I moved on to her newer series.

Set in the South, narrated by a male lead, […]

Sugar Pine Trail is everything that contemporary romance Christmas themed books should be! It’s a small town setting that hits all the right buttons for me. It was also completely relatable. Julia Winston is a librarian so I really connected with […]
