  Never Fall Again by Lynn H. Blackburn  5 BIG Stars! Book 1 in the Gossamer Falls Series From the moment I picked this book up, I was hooked! Really enjoyed the romance most of all. We have such emotional depth of Landry and Cal's journey together. Lynn H. Blackburn delivers a heartfelt blend of romance, suspense, healing and I loved it! Landry is determined to rebuild her life with her daughter near Gossamer Falls, North Carolina. Her previous abusive relationship with her husband caused a lot of trauma for her and now that he is gone, she wanted to provide a safe home to grow up in and hires former Marine Callum Shaw to handle the construction on their new home. Cal grew up in Gossamer Falls and wants a family of his own. When Landry comes in with her daughter, he grows close to them but due to circumstances of his past experiences, he feels like he needs to keep his distance. That's obviously not a possibility the more he gets to know them :) But before Landry's home ca...

  🥠 💌 Misfortune and Mr. Right by Savannah Scott  🥠 💌 📖✨ 4 Stars📖✨ If you love a good enemies-to-lovers romance packed with witty banter, undeniable chemistry, a touch of  ✨ whimsical magic ✨  and a pride and prejudice vibe -- Misfortune and Mr. Right is a DELIGHT! Olivia and Logan have spent their entire lives as rivals --it's always been a competition. One day, they see each other while out on a run and they realize they are living in the same apartment building. Now that they are next-door neighbors, fate and some very well-timed fortune cookies...have other plans ;)  This was so charming with some great laugh out loud moments and an overall heartwarming romance. Even if you are not an enemies to lovers person, I think this one is PERFECT because it is really done in a "pride and prejudice style" way. The BANTER is top tier! I love how Logan has always cared about her and we get to really see how things unfold with them.  If you enjoy romcoms with ...

The Enemy by Sarah Adams - 4 stars I liked this book pretty good. I read a mix of the old edition and the new via audio. Reading with my friend Melissa made it a more enjoyable experience too. I compared the editions and honestly, the changes were not too much thankfully, unlike the way The Match was. (See my review on that book if needed) We have enemies to lovers, obviously from the title. He fell first, childhood (high school) enemies, happily ever after - pretty good tropes. It did borderline going on too long for the enemies thing with the girl but I am glad things turned when they did. We follow Ryan and June. Ryan is back in town for a wedding and our main girl June does NOT want to see him again. Unfortunately she has to because they go to the same wedding and see each other. Ryan's always loved her but his "antics" back in high school were really "flirting" and she never fully saw it as that because he walked away from their almost kiss back then. Here ...

  Dead End by Nancy Mehl - Book 3 in the Kaely Quinn Profiler Series  4.5 Stars Great conclusion to the series! I love Nancy's writing - she can write a suspense like no other. We follow Kaely Quinn from events in books 1 & 2 and learn more about her father's past and the copy cat killer who is repeating her father's crimes. Kaely went into her role as a behavior analyst because of what her father's crimes were and now we have someone copying them. Her and Noah are back together figuring things out together, talking to her father directly and by the end, you will be satisfied with how things wrap up. Nice to see a little romance with them finally wrap up too.  Not much to say here since its book 3 of the series, but I highly recommend it for the good faith elements, suspense and light romance thread. People who aren't crazy about romance in books would love this series because the main focus is the suspense/mystery.  4.5/5 Stars Baker Book House:  https://ba...
