Midlife Bounty Hunter by Shannon Mayer

A supernatural bounty hunter who needs to remember age is just a number

Mid-Life Bounty Hunter by Shannon Mayer

December 31, 2023 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I read a fun short story by Shannon Mayer in the Kicking It anthology. I’m always on the prowl for a new paranormal/urban fantasy series, so decided to pick up Midlife Bounty Hunter in an audible sale. I’m also in my forties, so thought it be nice to read about a hero around my age. The first book in the Forty Proof series follows Breena returning divorced to Savannah. She is living with her ex’s cousin and looking for work. He recommends her for a bounty […]

A Walk in the Park by Rebekah Weatherspoon

Finding love through doggos

A Walk in the Park by Rebekah Weatherspoon

December 31, 2023 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I love all of Rebekah Weatherspoon’s books and dogs, so already biased to love this contemporary Black romance about a couple meeting at a dog shelter. Andre and Janelle unexpectedly meet when trying to rescue the same dog named Zeus. They both want a dog to bring some joy into their lives. There has been a mix-up and they were both promised the pup. Instead of fighting over him, they decide to co-parent for a month and see how it goes. What a lucky dog […]

I have been listening to The Wheel of Time for four solid months. That’s how long it takes to get through this behemoth. Over 400 hours of audio, seriously. So, yes, a commitment and a challenge. Worth it? I’m gonna go with ABSOLUTELY. This was not my first time trying to tackle The Masterpiece. I’ve read Eye of the World probably five times, and the furthest I’d gotten in the series was into the sixth book, but fatigue/ADHD/life got in the way of my previous […]

Midnight Duet by Jen Comfort

A trio of romances featuring a rockstar, small town angst, and magical cooking

Midnight Duet by Jen Comfort

Georgie, All Along by Kate Clayborn

Basil and Oregano by Melissa Capriglione

December 31, 2023 by teresaelectro 4 Comments

CBR15 Passport Challenge: New to you Authors – Jen Comfort, Kate Clayborn, and Melissa Capriglione Midnight Duet by Jen Comfort is a gender-flipped remix of Phantom of the Opera. Erika Greene seemingly had it all when taking on a lead Broadway role. She was a bit of a minx and slept with someone’s boyfriend, which led to a production light falling on her. She retreats to her family’s dilapidated opera house in Paris, Nevada, and vows to become a better person. She had a decent plastic surgeon […]

Born a Crime by Trevor Noah

December 30, 2023 by Sophia Leave a Comment

I read Born a Crime (2016) by Trevor Noah back in 2017, and it was one of my favorite books of the year. I was already impressed by Noah from watching him on The Daily Show, but I had no idea what his early life was like. I am also impressed by Noah’s ability to see both sides of an issue and understand other points of view. I rarely reread books, but I’d heard that Trevor Noah did a very good job reading his audiobook, and I […]

Most of the servants have to be let go, and she’s sold off most of what’s valuable around the house.
