  • ‘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…

  • A.M. Kusi’s ‘Defying Gravity’

    She told me it was going to break my heart. I didn’t believe Renita when she told me, but she did warn me. Belle Jones is maybe the fiercest woman I have ever met in a book; direct and honest and no-nonsense, she rules her home with forthrightness while running herd on her younger brother,…

Struggling to pay her bills, always? Check. Battling a mile wide bad luck streak that doesn’t even sound real when…

  • Brenda Janowitz’s ‘The Grace Kelly Dress’

    This review was commissioned by Harper Collins. “The dress was just as beautiful as she’d remembered. Crafted from rose point lace, the same lace used on Grace Kelly’s iconic wedding dress, it was delicate and classic and chic and a million other things Joanie couldn’t even articulate. “Go on,” her mother said, holding the first…

  • Emily Belden’s ‘Husband Material’; aka Blog Stop #5!

    (This review was commissioned by Harper Collins.) You guys; this novel was so unexpected for me. During this hectic time of year my attention is hard to nail down but ‘Husband Material’ had me from page one and didn’t let me go- it still hasn’t. Charlotte’s world and her voice and her lack of perfection…
