Between the Lines by Sally Malcolm
Between the Lines by Sally Malcolm My rating: 5 of 5 stars Confession time: Characters who start off completely against love and relationships, and then have an epiphany because of the main love interest usually aren’t my cup of tea. I’m cynical and jaded. It takes a lot to convince me one person can completely […]

Renewing Forever (This Time Forever, #2) by Kelly Jensen
Renewing Forever by Kelly Jensen My rating: 3 of 5 stars Building Forever, Book 1 was fantastic–one of my favorites of 2018. I adored Simon and Charlie. They make very brief appearances in Renewing Forever and I craved more of them. I had trouble getting into Frank and Tom’s story. Frank is introduced in Building […]

The Start of Something…
I’ve been a reader practically my entire life. When I was young, I would get in trouble for staying up all night reading under my covers with a flashlight. That habit is probably what makes me a night owl to this day. Horror and suspense/thriller were my go-to genres (Stephen King was–and still is–one of […]

Too Hot! by Avery Giles
My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love that the MC is a person of color and that it’s reflected on the cover. I enjoy reading books featuring unconventional characters and characters different from me. One of the great things about Too Hot! is that a majority of the characters are persons of color. Eli […]
Love Spell by Mia Kerick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars Man, that cover is gorgeous! Kerick is a master at creating fabulously sassy and unique characters, and Chance, the star of Love Spell, fits the bill. He is “a boy without a box”, and struggling with gender identity. I loved his outrageous personality, his outlandish crazy sense of style, […]
