🎧 The Geographer’s Map to Romance by India Holton @indiaholton.bsky.social @EKNOWELDEN @penguinaudio.bsky.social @berkleyromance.bsky.social @berkleypub.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks @IndiaHolton @BerkleyPub @PRHAudio

The Dangerous Damsels series began this world with its witty, hilarious antics. The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love continues the tradition in a new series in the same world, Love’s Academic. It isn’t necessary to have read the previous books as they are not mentioned at all. Those books are so fun I wouldn’t miss […]

🎧 A Proposal to Die For by Molly Harper @mollyharperauth.bsky.social #AmandaRonconi @berkleypub.bsky.social @penguinaudio.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks @mollyharperauth @BerkleyPub @PRHAudio

My current favorite genre is mysteries. I’ve always enjoyed this author and narrator so I was happy to try them in a new genre for them. The start was a bit slow since some of the characters were over the top cliché which, honestly, I accept more easily in paranormal romance than I do in […]

Vera Wong’s Guide to Snooping on a Dead Man by Jesse Q. Sutanto @thewritinghippo @berkleypub.bsky.social @sophiarose1816 @Berkley

San Francisco’s most adorable snoop is back and delving into the death of an online influencer who’s an off-line enigma. Jesse Sutanto’s Vera Wong captured my heart and funny bone in the first book so I didn’t hesitate to reach for this latest. Vera Wong’s Guide to Snooping is the second book in a series. […]

Fan Service by Rosie Danan @rosiedanan @berkleyromance.bsky.social @BerkleyRomance @BerkleyPub @RobinBridgeFour

Have you ever been a part of a fandom? I have been involved in a few over the years some focused on books and others on tv series, one for Buffy the Vampire Slayer was my first. They are really fun communities that you share a love of a show or book and dig down […]

A Play of Heresy by Margaret Frazer #MargaretFrazer @sophiarose1816

Coventry- for the Corpus Christi festival and plays- is a bustling, energetic town where a missing spy and a murderer can be found. Margaret Frazer’s final Joliffe the Player mystery pulled out all the stops and delivered a medieval player’s world and town, intrigue, and a cunning mystery all in one. I was […]

Accidentally Amy by Lynn Painter @LAPainter @lynnpainter8.bsky.social @BerkleyRomance @berkleyromance.bsky.social

Lynn Painter is the absolute master at banter. I would enjoy her books just for the humor. The dialogue is generally a bit blunt and sassy. The characters go a bit wildly silly and add in pop culture sometimes in some of the banter and it’s just fun. It’s meant to be a bit outrageous. […]

Shattering Dawn by Jayne Ann Krentz @JayneAnnKrentz @BerkleyRomance @BerkleyPub @sophiarose1816

The third leg of the Lost Night Files trilogy that caught fire with me from the opening paragraphs of the first book. I loved the spooky, mysterious locations, the mystery, the conspiracy and intrigue, psychic abilities that needed to be controlled, and, of course the romances of the previous two books and looked forward to […]

Love You A Latke by Amanda Elliot @AmandaPanitch @BerkleyPub @BerkleyRomance #HoHoHoRAT2024‏

I loved the first book from this author, Sadie on a Plate. In fact, I have enjoyed everything I’ve read from this author. Love You a Latke is definitely a Jewish holiday story and all the books I have read highlighted Jewish food and traditions. I have zero knowledge or experience with these customs but […]

A Grim Reaper’s Guide to Catching a Killer by Maxie Dara @MaxieDara @jaimebee @BerkleyPub @PRHAudio @sophiarose1816 #LoveAudiobooks

Sophia’s Review Her carefully cultivated average, low-risk life has just been toppled when a routine collection case is anything but routine. Kathy can go back to hiding away from the world behind her safe walls or she can help save a soul- literally. Who could pass up a middle-aged mid-divorce grim reaper with a poor […]
