***This is a review of an upcoming release. This title is scheduled to be released on June 21, 2022.*** Lucy Score is a bit of a conundrum for me. I have said in this space before that she OWNS me, and I stand by that. But earlier today, when I was talking about the books… Continue reading Week Forty-Nine: Maggie Moves On

I wanted to love this book, y’all. It has a gorgeous cover, and the synopsis seemed right in my wheelhouse— All that Meghan Gray has left of her beloved Pappy is his cottage on the edge of the shimmering Atlantic Ocean. Longing to feel close to her grandfather, she returns to the golden sands of… Continue reading Week Forty-Eight: An Island Summer

ALBERT ENTWISTLE WAS A POSTMAN. It was one of the few things everyone knew about him. And it was one of the few things he was comfortable with people knowing.64-year-old Albert Entwistle has been a postie in a quiet town in Northern England for all his life, living alone since the death of his mam… Continue reading Week Forty-Seven: The Secret Life Of Albert Entwistle

I made a terrible mistake with this book. I started it on a cruise ship, a cruise I was on with friends, friends who had a reasonable expectation that I would pay attention to them. For an entire day, I did not. I read this book in the Japanese restaurant at lunch. I read it… Continue reading Week Forty-Six: Book Lovers

***This is a review of an upcoming release. This title is scheduled to be released on May 26, 2022.*** I really enjoyed this book, but it was shockingly, unrepentantly dark, and that might mean that it’s not for everyone. The cover belies the seriousness with which the subject matter is treated, making this another book… Continue reading Week Forty-Five: An Unlikely Match

***This is a review of an upcoming release. This title is scheduled to be released on May 17, 2022.*** I was pretty late to the bandwagon, but I’ve been a huge fan of Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings since I read The Unhoneymooners last summer. This is my fifth CLo book, and it had big… Continue reading Week Forty-Four: Something Wilder

Y’all, I feel like I talk about Lucy Score more than I talk about ANYTHING, including my dog and my mama. But there is a reason for that, and that is that she can *write*. Her books are steamy, well-plotted, funny, real. Her characters are sympathetic, and the HEAs feel earned. Every book of hers… Continue reading Week Forty-Three: Riley Thorne and the Blast From the Past

NetGalley kindly gifted me three RomComs, all releasing this week, and I wanted to get them all reviewed before the release, but not TOO early…so I had one scheduled each week for the last three weeks of April. This one was supposed to be first, but I started it and it didn’t grab me, so… Continue reading Week Forty-Two: The Wedding Season

I’ve been in a queer romance place for the past few weeks. I’ve mentioned before that I am a mood reader, and when I read something awesome—the breathtaking Borrowing Blue by Lucy Lennox was the culprit this time—well, that launches me down an endorphin-seeking rabbit hold that is hard to climb out of. Not that… Continue reading Week Forty-One: Never Been Kissed
