I’m over at Dear Author with a review of A Duke By Default by Alyssa Cole. A lot to like but I stumbled over a couple of things.

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of Mr. Hotshot CEO by Jackie Lau. I connected with this book better than I did the first one. Note: the book contains discussion/themes of mental illness (depression) which may be triggering for some readers.
I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Unbreak My Heart by Lauren Blakely, narrated by Joe Arden & Erin Mallon. Poignant romance featuring a man reconnecting with the love of his life while also dealing with grief from the loss of his beloved brother.
I’m over at Dear Author with Jayne reviewing Free Fall by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner. I loved the setting and the heroine was a delight.
I’m over at AudioGals with a review of By the Book by Julia Sonneborn, narrated by Amy McFadden. I was a little bored actually and there wasn’t enough romance to satisfy.
