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 […]

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 […]

🎧 No One Does It Like You by Katie Shepard @YTCShepard  @savannahpeachy @PRHAudio @BerkleyPub @BerkleyRomance #LoveAudiobooks

I enjoyed No One Does It Like You even though it wasn’t too realistic.  The main characters Rosie and Tom were likeable.  They are speaking the first time in 10 years.  Tom reached out to her when he thought he might die. Rosie returned his call to see if he would help her when no […]

🎧 The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love by India Holton  @IndiaHolton @EKNOWELDEN @BerkleyPub @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks

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 […]

  The Psy-Changeling Trinity the spin off series to Psy-Changeling. Overall,  it is like one big series.  I didn’t and wouldn’t read the later books without the foundation of the first series.  Singh has a style which is a great blend of paranormal romance and urban fantasy.  Each book has a romantic couple and we […]

🎧 Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood @EverSoAli @CallieDalton7 @jclarkereads @BerkleyRomance @BerkleyPub @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM

Not in Love didn’t feel like other Ali Hazelwood books I have read.  At first, it felt like a porn over plot type I used to read.  Rue and Eli start as a chance hookup and quickly find out they are on opposite sides of a corporate takeover.   I was more interested in the corporate […]

I have enjoyed the new style this author has written for the past years, probably a decade.  They are not romances but Life Fiction.  The characters are more realistic and well developed along with all those around them, their families and friends.  The settings and emotional situations are also well built for a deep connection.
