Well, I guess I took an unexpected hiatus from this blog for almost two years. Lots of life things happened and I just wasn’t motivated to post anything here. I am happy to say though that I am back and ready to post content. I have quite a few ideas for posts and can’t wait to share some of them soon. Cheers!!!

Review: Things You Save in a Fire
I received a free review copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center is a book about a female firefighter, Cassie Hanwell who is as tough as any man. Even though Cassie is tough, deep down she has issues with accepting love and forgiveness. There is a lot of depth and interesting sub-plots to this story.
Center weaves together the challenges of a female firefighter in an all male firehouse, the relationship with her estranged mother, and overcoming her past to experience love. She does a great job of bringing the characters to life allowing the reader to feel sympathy and empathize with the challenges Cassie experiences.
I very much enjoyed this book. The writing flowed together nicely through the various sub-plots. I admired Cassie’s strength in a traditionally “man’s world,” as well as her vulnerabilities.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was entertaining and captivating. If you love books that hold a lot of substance, I would highly recommend this one.

Review: Mom’s Perfect Boyfriend
I received an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
Mom’s Perfect Boyfriend by Crystal Hemmingway is a cute romantic comedy about a young woman who tries to find the perfect boyfriend for her mother. What I like about this book is the writing style, however I did get a little confused at times as the story is told in the form of text messages and emails. I felt that there was a lot of back and forth and it was sometimes hard to follow.
I also adored the humor and the mother/daughter relationship. The character development was great too. Overall, I enjoyed Mom’s Perfect Boyfriend and I would rate the book four out of five stars. I am very grateful to the publisher for sending me a copy. The book releases on July 16, 2019.

Review: Flat-Out Love
Flat-Out Love by Jessica Park is a book about a girl and her experiences as a first year college student. While this book packs a punch and made me sob, it was still a well-rounded novel and I absolutely loved everything about it. I loved the story line, characters, and writing style. I flew through this book. I did not want to put it down and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I look forward to reading more of Park’s works. I rate this book five out of five stars.
Review: This is Not a Love Scene
I received an arc copy of this book from the publisher. This is Not a Love Scene was written by S.C. Megale and is a debut novel. I cannot even begin to tell you what this book is about as I was not interested in it, so therefore I could not comprehend it. I had a difficult time connecting with the characters and the writing style. After I got about halfway through the story, I dnf’d the book. I am very grateful to Wednesday Books for sending me an arc copy to review, however this book just was not the story for me. Hopefully there are other people that would like it. My rating for this book is one out of five stars.
