Are you a fan of Hallmark Channel movies? Do you wish you could get a bit more of them, but have already watched ALL the Christmas Movies 49823 times? Did you know that you can READ Hallmark movie-type books? Since its inception in 2017, Hallmark Publishing has grown its catalog by leaps and bounds and 2021 is shaping up to be its best year yet. As I did last year, I've scoped out the new offerings for 2021 from Hallmark Publishing and I couldn't be more excited to share these with you!... Read More
Book Review: Christmas Charms
Y’all, I just LOVED this story. It was a delight from beginning to end. If you’re looking for a way to kick off your holiday reading season, this is a perfect choice. Read it with fuzzy socks on, wrapped in something cozy, and with a cup of something warm. And with a pillow nearby in case you want to throw your book when they ALMOST kiss, lol.... Read More
FOMO: Week of 9/21/2020
These week's FOMO releases have the start of two new series and #4 in one of my favorite subgenres of romance-- HOCKEY ROMANCES.... Read More
Book Review: Sailing at Sunset
Y’all, I have so many thoughts and feelings about this book that I don’t even know where to start. I laughed, I cringed, I swooned, and I legit cried. To say that I loved it was an understatement.... Read More
Book Review: Christmas in Bayberry
I think my mind and soul were begging for a bit of comfort. A way to escape and be with people, even if it was all fictional, who were feeling the joys and warmth the season brings to some of us. This book has it all- Christmas Spirit, Community Kindness, Romance (with an Older Couple too!), and even a tiny bit of Magic, which, I know isn't for everyone, but I do love a Magic Santa. ...

Book Review: The Boyfriend Project
Y’all. This book needs to come with a disclaimer: DO NOT START READING UNLESS YOU CAN TAKE THE DAY OFF BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP ONCE YOU START. I can’t say enough about how much I loved this book. If you’re looking for the perfect summer read this is it, y’all. ... Read More
Book Review: Sweet Pea Summer
Returning to the town of Hillsboro and its people was like coming home to visit family and friends. They aren’t perfect by any means, but they are all there for each other. Well, almost everyone. But for the most part, the residents of Hillsboro love one another and it was delightful to spend time in that world, even for a little bit.... Read More
Book Review: A Cottage Wedding
I fell in love with Heart’s Landing and couldn’t wait to get back to it in Book Two, aka A Cottage Wedding. It was like seeing old friends again and as corny as this sounds, with social distancing and all, getting to “visit” this little town again brought me immense joy.... Read More
Book Review: Magic Exchange
If you are a fan of Hate to Love, with a Dash of Destiny, then Magic Exchange should be next on your TBR list. This book has everything that I love in a romance: enemies to lovers, forbidden relationships, great chemistry with swoony banter, angst, heartbreak, villains, a quirky best friend - all set on a magical planet named Velkin that is on the brink of war. Read this and get ready for the second installment, Magic Captive, set to come out on June 28, 2020-- YESSSSS.... Read More
Book Review: Beach Read
Beach Read is one of those stories where you think you know what it’s going to be about and what path you’re about to go on, but it jerks left and you find yourself at a crossroads. Force yourself to stay “right” and give up on this book or take the left and go where the author is leading you. I promise that in this case, you’re in good hands. You NEED to go left and find yourself on the other side. It's worth it. ... Read More
Book Review: A Proper Charade
This book takes a heroine who breaks the rules in a very rule-structured society and a stoic man who suddenly feels feelings and combines them with some legit laugh out loud moments, a few very close breathy conversations, and some angsty “will they or won’t they” moments to give you a fantastic follow-up to A Proper Scandal. I would recommend it to anyone who would enjoy a bit of humor in their Historical Romance. A Victorian Rom-Com of sorts.... Read More
Book Review: In Other Words, Love
Overall, I felt this book was more Family Drama than Romance, but I still enjoyed it. It's very much a case of Come for the Promise of Romance but Stay for the Power of Family and Forgiveness.... Read More
