Infernal Affairs by Matilda Martel | Book Review
Blackthorn Bay has done it again. One of the things I love most about this series is that the town feels just as important as the romance. Every new book lets you spend more time with the quirky residents, and each visit makes the town feel a little more like home. This time it’s Daisy’s…

I really enjoyed this one. Even though this is the final book in the series, I never felt like I was missing anything important. It was obvious these brothers had shared a lot together over the previous books, but Susan Stoker gives you enough background that I was able to jump right in. That being…

Captive Audience by Julie Weaver | Book Review
This was my first read from Julie Weaver and I have to say it was not a bad read. I am all about the podcast girlies so I dove right into this one. Asha is a true crime podcaster who ends up with Rook O’Connell, an Irish gangster. A single drink turns into a one…
