I’m over at Dear Author with a review of The Love Haters by Katherine Center, narrated by Patti Murin.  All the enjoyable humour and banter I’ve come to expect from this author but I had a teensy issue with the conflict. at about the 75% mark, things took a turn and the energy dropped for a while.  85% (maybe more) of the book was fantastic.

Illustrated cover in tropical green and blue featuring a white couple laying back on pool floatie things wearing sunglasses. She is wearing a pink/cerise one piece swimsuit and he is wearing red swim trunks. They each have their (own) hands linked behind their respective heads.

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of The Half of It by Theresa Christine. I struggled a bit to connect with the story but it was an okay read.

Illustrated cover showing a white couple - she has red hair and he is fair (though he isn't in the book), sitting on a grassy hill next to a red car (not all of the car can be seen) above a blue ocean (or maybe lake) with little green and rocky islands in and a green and rocky coastline. He has a camera and she has writing paper and a pencil

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of Bold Moves by Emma Barry. Second chance love story set in the world of chess and documentaries.

Illustrated cover with a deep purple background featuring a purple and black chessboard in the lower half with a white king and a green queen piece on the board. The white king has a shadow of a man in pink, the green queen has a shadow of the legs of a woman also in pink. The title, which takes up most of the top half of the cover is in alternating bright colours of red, pink, green and gold/mustard yellow.

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of Meet Me Under the Clock by Jo Lovett. Enjoyable, if not groundbreaking, fake dating story.

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of Swept Away by Beth O’Leary. Loved it. Recommend.  Sure, the premise/their survival is a little unbelievable but I didn’t even care.

Illustrated cover showing a tanned white couple embracing and kissing while standing on the roof of a houseboat out at sea at sunset with seagulls flying around
