I’ve really been enjoying the Fallen Empire series which feels more fantasy than fantasy romance. The world has the magic and creatures, swords and crossbows, cruel beatings and tortures, horses, the old kingdoms, and of course, the greedy rulers.  The story is an friends to enemies to lovers story. It is connected to the previous […]
The Luminaries is the first book in The Luminaries; it started as an experiment on twitter where the audience got to direct some of the choices the heroine made and then was converted into a novel. I think because of that, the direction of the story takes a few unexpected twists along the way and sometimes […]
Post WWI era intrigue and murder along with a slow build second chance marital romance are at the heart of the fabulous Verity Kent series. Each installment fills me with high anticipation when I pick up the latest release because I know I will devour the book and be left satisfied, but wanting more.

I enjoy reading police procedurals with different settings and diverse characters. Blackwater Falls is exactly this sort of book. I read to learn new things and broaden my experience which also happened in this reading.

You know how in long standing series there are some couple stories you are waiting on and then others you just aren’t as excited about. That is kinda where I am at in this series. I really have a few side stories with some couples I’m super interested in and then there are just the […]
A book pal put me onto this series since I adore Regency England and historical mysteries. I probably should have waited and started at the beginning, but I spotted that blurb mentioning a haunted house and locked room mystery and I had to dive in here. Death at the Manor is third in the Lily […]
