" Second-chance romances are usually hit or miss for me, but this one was an easy win. Wren and Ellis Byrd fell in love young,… Continue reading Left Of Forever by Tarah DeWitt

The Shippers by Katherine Center

February 10, 2026March 4, 2026 michele

I always love a Katherine Center book, so I dropped everything to read The Shippers the moment I got my hands on it—and I’m happy to report that it absolutely delivered. Right from the author’s note, Center tells us exactly what kind of story this is going to be: a happily-ever-after romance. “This book will… Continue reading The Shippers by Katherine Center

Once and Again by Rebecca Serle

January 22, 2026January 26, 2026 michele

Once and Again is one of those books that quietly sneaks up on you. When I first started reading, I was convinced it would land firmly in three-star territory—interesting enough, but nothing that would linger. And then, somewhere along the way, I found myself unexpectedly invested. At the heart of the novel is the Novak… Continue reading Once and Again by Rebecca Serle

Good Spirits by B.K. Borison

January 10, 2026January 9, 2026 michele

Even though it’s January, Good Spirits is absolutely worth talking about. This was one of those reads that surprised me in the best way—I really liked it, and it only strengthened my desire to dive deeper into B.K. Borison’s backlist. A paranormal romance wasn’t something I knew I needed in December, but Good Spirits completely… Continue reading Good Spirits by B.K. Borison
