Such is the case with Ms. Black’s offerings. […]
Taking the Heat Author: Victoria Dahl Reviewer: Jen Twimom Rating: A What I’m Talking About: Taking the Heat is one of the books that I eye’d for review, but knew I’d be over-stretching myself, so I passed it up.

It should have […]

Back to Us Author: Christi Barth Reviewer: Nima Rating: B+ What I’m Talking About: Christi Barth is another new-to-me author and may I say, “So far, so good.” After reading Back to Us, book three in the Shore Secrets series at Barth’s request, I wish I had read the first two.
