Annabeth Albert’s ‘Feel The Fire’
This review was commissioned by Harper Collins. Luis and Tucker are both brave, chiseled, incredibly selfless men who valiantly face down the flames of hell in burning buildings, forests, etc. without a moment’s hesitation, risking everything to save animals, people, their homes, and the wilderness, never stopping to consider their own safety. The only thing…

Fertility Myths and Why They Supersuck, Series Part 3- “You’re Just Not getting Drunk enough!”
This one might annoy me almost as much as the you just need to relax myth does. Neither are helpful but maybe it’s the illogical nature of this particular myth that grates, or the fact that people always suggest it with a sly smile RIGHT BEFORE they say something inappropriate about enjoying my husband and…

Fertility Myths and Why They Super Suck; Part 2- Oh, Just RELAX and it Will Happen!
I think of all the myths that persist the most fervently, this is the one- why is that? Anybody have a guess? What telling a person suffering from infertility this is called will sound familiar because it is a term repeated a lot lately because this act is so prevalent in the current climate in…

Lisa Unger’s ‘Confessions on the 7:45’
I looked forward to reading this book for months; the idea of a woman sitting down next to a stranger on a train and spilling every nefarious secret they’re hiding in their hearts and having it come back to bite them just sounded deliciously twisted to me. It was- that part did not disappoint in…

Infertility Myths and Why They Super Suck Series Part 1; “Just Adopt!”
So, let me start by clearing the air on this post; this is another “not for the rah rah, everybody else’s good fortune equals your own good fortune” type of people. If you are the kind of person who likes to make struggling people feel worse only read further if you’re in the mood to…

What I Feed My Kid for Breakfast
This is not an affiliate post. So, I don’t know about any of you, but the world of IG Mommy Bloggers and the pressure to Pinterest our way through our children’s younger years can be a lot, am I right? I see so many of them stressing the importance of feeding their kids scratch-cooked everything…

‘Chance of a Lifetime’ by Jude Deveraux and Tara Sheets
This review was commissioned by Harper Collins. So, let me start by saying that this seasoned author pairing up with newer voices dynamic is a thing these days and I’m here for it. James Patterson does it (plucking people out of his MasterClass, which is kind of awesome in my opinion) and it is amazing…

Polly Crosby’s ‘The Book of Hidden Wonders’
This review was commissioned by Harper Collins. Romily’s world is a strange and beautiful place; a little girl so fascinating her father has made her the subject of his wildly successful children’s book series, she is whimsical and interesting and weird. The kind of girl who feels her strangeness keenly and vastly underestimates how interesting…

Brenda Novak’s ‘One Perfect Summer’
This is not my first Brenda Novak review; over the winter, I read and reviewed ‘Christmas in Silver Springs’, which was quite charming and engaging and this is no different. Novak has a knack for traversing the way our lives change and ebb and flow, ravel and unravel and how we navigate it all. Serenity…

Amber Garza’s ‘When I Was You’
This review was commissioned by Harper Collins. This is more like it; from the moment you take a step into Kelly Medina’s world, everything you’re reading and looking at just goes a shade darker and more innocuous than it should be. Is what Kelly’s narration is telling us the truth? Or is it all part…
