Susanne’s Review: Well, that was Unexpected! Bring Hankies. Lots of them! A chance for a December romance. Both Hopeful and Haunting. The characterizations in this book are honest, real, and raw. The emotions it drew from me are intense and heartfelt. Emily Stone, you got me and got me good! Josie and Max, you stoleContinue reading “Always, In December by Emily Stone @EmStoneWrites @randomhouse #romance #contemporaryfiction #fiction #decemberreads #buddyread”

Susanne’s Review: Wholly unexpected and oh so Fabulous! First, let me say that this was not on my radar and all. I had absolutely no plans at all to grab this until Kaceey convinced me to do so. I must, therefore say a huge thank you to her as this fantastic character driven fiction andContinue reading “These Silent Woods by Kimmi Cunningham Grant @kimicgrant @MinotaurBooks @NetGalley #thriller #mystery #contemporary #bookreview #bookblogger”

Float Plan (Beck Sisters, #1) by Trish Doller #romcom #fiction #bookblogger #bookreview
Susanne’s Review: Ho-Hum. Coined as “Unforgettable” – I would actually beg to differ. There was nothing fun, cute, or exciting about Trish Doller’s debut about Anna, who decides to set sail on the open sea, start over and do her best to find a reason to go on after the loss of her husband, exceptContinue reading “Float Plan (Beck Sisters, #1) by Trish Doller #romcom #fiction #bookblogger #bookreview”

Kaceey’s Review: Ok, I have to come clean…. One of my guilty pleasures is watching Married at First Sight.🙋🏻♀️ (And I don’t think I’m alone, here!)

BUT, you never actually get toContinue reading “To Sir With Love by Lauren Layne #romance #contemporary #romcom #bookblogger #bookreview”

All the Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood @bryngreenwood #fiction #literaryfiction #adultfiction #bookreviewers
Susanne’s Review: My love for this novel knows no bounds, and to say that is not an easy thing, as the subject matter of this book is not one to be taken lightly and is not for everyone. All the Ugly and Wonderful Things tackles the relationship between two people, Wavy and Kellen. That relationshipContinue reading “All the Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood @bryngreenwood #fiction #literaryfiction #adultfiction #bookreviewers”
