The Yankee Widow Author: Linda Lael Miller Reviewer: Ang Rating: C What I’m Talking About: In my experience most historical fiction is a lot of fiction and a little history thrown in for background, color or general information; such is not the case in The Yankee Widow by Linda Lael Miller. Ms. Miller is a […]
Their Discovery Author: Rebecca Grace Reviewer: Jennifer Rating: C+ What I’m Talking About: Their Discovery is the third book in the Legally Bound series by Rebecca Grace and my first read by the author.

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 […]

Driven Author: Suzanne Falter Reviewer: B. Rating: C+ What I’m Talking About: When I was initially asked about reviewing Driven, I was immediately drawn in by its premise: a well-established, “Woman-Owned, Woman-Powered” auto repair shop fighting for its survival against a vicious new competitor that will stop at nothing to destroy them. Add in some […]
The Matchmaker’s List Author: Sonya Lalli Reviewer: Jen Rating: B-/C- (see below) What I’m Talking About: I’m just going to come out and say this – while I enjoyed parts of The Matchmaker’s List, I struggled with the review and how to rate the title.

Audiobook review: Melt for Him Author: Lauren Blakely Narrators: Joe Arden, Erin Mallon Audio Speed: 1.0x Series: Fighting Fire #2 Genre: Contemporary Romance Source: Brilliance Audio Melt for Him is the second book in the Fighting Fire series, and I’m sure the two main characters (or at least one of them) was at least mentioned in the first […]
