That's great. Hope you enjoy it when you get a chance to read it. I've read three of her series so far—Deep Ops, Sin Brothers and Blood Brothers—and I enjoyed them all. I'm hoping I get a chance to try out her Laurel Snow series sometime this year.

I'm currently reading Bad Mother by Mia Sheridan. So far I'm enjoying it.

I’m reading The Twins' Rodeo Rider by Tina Leonard

When not reading cozies, I'm reading romance. Recently got pulled in by a story description and have been working my way through Alexia Chase's Sinful World series. There are at least 14 series associated with the "world." I'm working my way through the ones I have access to. I've read 18 so far.

The stories are pretty similar. Shorter ones have been single POV, first from the heroine's; the following story (next-in-series) from the hero's. A lot of the text for the twinned books is the same, differences stemming only from the actual thoughts of the "POV-er" of the story. Longer stories combine POVs, exchanging at chapters. They've been covering the gamut of tropes from instalust/love to BFF's little sister or older brother to second-chance/re-dos, etc. They're not great reads (really, mostly 2-3, a few better), but most have been enjoyable.

Here is my 3.87 rounded to 4 stars review of The American Daughters by Maurice Carlos Ruffin:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Historical Fiction / Coming-of-age
Gritty and Compelling
Key Point: The story line spends a significant portion of it depicting Ady in her childhood. While this helps readers understand Ady, the book synopsis indicated to me that it would mainly be about her activities with the Daughters.
