The Wedding Ringer Author: Kerry Rea Reviewer: Nima Rating: C+ What I’m Talking About: The Wedding Ringer was a little difficult for me to review. It doesn’t fit into a tidy category.

Miss Lattimore’s Letter Author: Suzanne Allain Reviewer: Nima Rating: B+ What I’m Talking About: I haven’t read a historical romance in a while and it was nice to escape the current century by going back to Great Britain’s Regency Era in Miss Lattimore’s Letter.

The Raven Lady Author: Sharon Lynn Fisher Reviewer: Nima Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: In describing the series, Fisher says, “The Faery Rehistory weaves Ireland’s ancient mythological races with Victorian-era technology and manners into an Ireland that was never conquered by the British.” So imagine an alternative world where the fairies of Ireland’s folklore […]
The Mother Code Author: Carole Stivers Reviewer: Nima Rating: B+ What I’m Talking About: What if—we fight terrorists holed up in a network of caves, where troops are at a disadvantage, with a bioweapon that will wipe them out instead?
