A stranded vacationing alien and a geeky sci-fi lover meet online and do the in-person at a sci-fi convention. Ann Aguirre has written some fantastic sci-fi romance in the past and I happily picked up her latest which has rom-com and cozy vibes. I Think I’m in Love With an Alien brings together a lonely […]
There is something so compelling about the Porter Beck series. The main point of view being a sheriff, with lots of military intelligence training, set in a small town with lots of natural beauty, are all positives. The Blue Horse is around a series of both horse and people deaths during some wild mustang roundups. The […]
Welcome to an Island isolated from almost everyone. A place where, in the dead of winter, various plants thrive and survive in a myriad of various greenhouses enchanted by a now dead Sorcerer. This is a wonderous world, some greenhouses have plants that sing, others vines that act like snakes; some have an ecosystem set […]
I’ve enjoyed every book I’ve read by Lynn Painter. They always seem to have very fun banter and humor. So I always want to read her books. The setting for this seems to be Omaha Nebraska with a Warren Buffet type character. Maid for Each Other is a class difference book, not that they really […]

Heartbreak leads to adventure, unexpected friends, and romance for an intrepid young woman on her own. Lady of the Street: Beginnings opens with a contemporary setting of a […]
I always enjoy a Ruth Ware mystery thriller. The Woman in Suite 11 is a follow up on the Lo Blacklock character 10 years after the time in The Woman in Cabin 10. It’s better if you have read the first book but not absolutely necessary. In the interim, Lo has married Judah and they […]
I believe this is the last book in the Hart and Mercy series and it sticks the landing solidly. The Undercutting of Rosie and Adam begins about ten years after the events of the prior books. Duckers finally found a partner who will stick with him in Rosie, well at least most of the time when […]
The Richard Jury series is another mystery series with more than 20 books, which I have read and loved for a long time. I started listening with later books and collection them on audio because they are narrated by Steve West!!!! He’s one of my favorites. The Red Queen is going to have an audio […]
Things continue to develop in the Midsolar Murders series. The characters and world had a good foundation laid in the first book Station Eternity which is where Mallory and Xan and several aliens live. The station itself is sentient, bonded now with Mrs. Brown. In the next installment, we learn about the Sundry and […]
A Happy Marriage sounded like an interesting setup with Dinah, a detective and her husband Joe, a psychiatrist. With the title, I thought it would have aspects of how they make their careers work and still keep a close relationship. They do that and are successful in their careers but that’s not this story. We […]
