Treasure

Treasure by Rebekah Weatherspoon

by Leave a Comment

Trigger warning: Discussions surrounding suicide This was a wonderful F/F Black romance. I needed this apparently. The characters of Alexis and Trisha are great. My only complaint is that this was way too short. “Treasure” follows 18 year old Alexis Chambers, who is out with her sister for her bachelorette party. The group decides to go to a strip club, and Alexis feels self conscious, until she sees a young woman named Treasure. Alexis is gay, but is still hesitant about that part of herself, […]

The Heart Principle

The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang

Trigger warning: Suicide ideation What a lovely book. I have really enjoyed all of the books in this series, and this one is probably my favorite. I know that some readers were not happy with this because it was “too serious” and not a romantic comedy like they were expecting. But honestly, we get some very “fire” sex scenes, so I was fine with this book being more open about the main character’s Asperger’s diagnosis and the burnout that she was feeling and how dark […]

Abandoned in Death

Abandoned in Death by J.D. Robb

So. I went back and forth on the rating on this one because there were some bright spots, and then something would happen which would work my nerves. Bright spots were we finally have a  Louise/Charles interaction after like 20 books. We have Mira actually doing her job and we don’t have Eve in there just somehow being ten steps ahead of her. We don’t have much of Roarke in this one. In fact it took a while for an “In Death” book for him […]

The Bridesmaids Union

The Bridesmaids Union by Jonathan Vatner

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review.  So the only reason I am giving this two stars is that it is not as bad as Carnegie Hill. I knew this author sounded familiar to me, and I am annoyed I wasted a pick on this. The entire book was a slow moving train wreck that I was unable to look away from. The main character, Iris, is terrible. The other characters we get are awful. […]

Our Little World

Our Little World by Karen Winn

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review.  So this was a great book to end the week with. It was so good. I think the setting of New Jersey in 1985 played such an important role in the telling of this story. It really did take me back to a different time and place when I was growing up.  This book really does show the end of innocence for Bee, but also for the entire […]

The Wedding Season

The Wedding Season by Katy Birchall

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review.  So this was delightful. I am going to warn readers though, if you are expecting a lot of romantic scenes, they are not in this book. But I thought this was a very nice enemies to lovers book. I loved the main character of Freya, her two best friends, Ruby and Leo, and her dad and her brother. The whole book really spoke to me about the power […]
