Waiting for Tom Hanks Author: Kerry Winfrey Reviewer: Nima Rating: B+ What I’m Talking About: Before he was castaway on a deserted island, landed a plane on the Hudson River, or came back safely from a failed trip to the moon, Tom Hanks was the king of the romantic comedy. Anyone who loves the rom-coms […]
The Witchwood Crown Author: Tad Williams Reviewer: Nima Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: Tad Williams is a strong, well-established fantasy author. In 1988 he published The Dragonbone Chair, the first volume of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn. He’s the guy George R. R. Martin, author of Game of Thrones, credits with inspiring “…me to write […]
Cliff’s Edge Author: Meg Tilly Reviewer: Nima Rating: B+ What I’m Talking About: Author Meg Tilly, yes, THAT Meg Tilly, is a new-to-me author. This is her eighth book, but only her second in the romance genre with Cliff’s Edge, the second book in her Solace Island series. Tilly admits that her earlier books were […]
Dancing with the Viper Author: Amy Beatty Reviewer: Nima Rating: A What I’m Talking About: Dancing with the Viper took me by surprise. Honestly, from the ambiguous cover art and title, I was expecting something a little campy like Robyn Peterman’s books. That was reinforced when the book starts with main character Hanna Bradley taking […]
Intention Author: Ava Harrison Reviewer: Nima Rating: B+ What I’m Talking About: Madeline Montgomery is one half the love story Intention by Ava Harrison. Harrison is another new-to-me author and overall I enjoyed this stand alone in her Legacy series. Madeline has a painful secret, one only she and her doctor know the breadth and […]
Accidental Hero Accidental Protector Accidental Romeo Author: Nicole Snow Reviewer: Nima Book Source: Purchased with my own funds What I’m Talking About: This is a set of books that I actually bought off an Amazon FaceBook ad. No joke. Can’t believe I did that, but I liked the idea that marriage rather than lust alone […]
The Other Side of Wrong Author: Christi Barth Reviewer: Nima Rating: C+ What I’m Talking About: The Other Side of Wrong is billed as a stand-alone novella even though it fits into slot #3 in the Bad Decisions series by Christi Barth. I have not read the books which proceeded this one and am not […]

The Risk Author: Elle Kennedy Reviewer: Nima Rating: A What I’m Talking About: Phew! *Slaps desk* I did it again. Done inside of twenty-four hours. I tried not to, tried to stretch it out, but who are we kidding? I was so looking forward to The Risk, book 2 in the Briar U Series, that […]
The Good Ones Author: Jenn McKinlay Reviewer: Nima Rating: B- What I’m Talking About: The Good Ones is cute, but it’s definitely “fantasy.” I lost count of the number of times I rolled my eyes over the things which I had to suspend my disbelief. Maisy Kelly, accomplished professor of English literature in North Carolina, […]
As Good as the First Time Author: K.M. Jackson Reviewer: Nima Rating: B What I’m Talking About: As Good as the First Time is the first book in the Sugar Lake Series. Sugar Lake is one of those wonderful small, southern towns full of quirky characters that are sometimes more fun than the main characters. […]
No Sleep Till Doomsday Author: Laurence MacNaughton Reviewer: Nima Rating: B+ What I’m Talking About: No Sleep Till Doomsday is supposedly the last* in the Dru Jasper trilogy. The book begins with (finally) a real date between main characters Dru, crystal sorceress, and Greyson, super hot gearhead demonically connected to Hellbringer, one of the Four […]
The Breakup Author: Erin McCarthy Reviewer: Nima Rating: B What I’m Talking About: The Breakup didn’t feel so much like a second book as it felt like, as Paul Harvey would say, “the rest of the story.” The Hook Up, book one in the Jordan Brothers series followed Cain Jordan and Sophie Bigelow and there […]

It’s her main character Summer Heyward-Di […]
