Wow. Where did this come from? I love sports. And I love sports books if they aren’t surgical, exact, or expansive on the actual sport aspect. But there is something so intriguing about this mixed martial arts world, that I was completely engaged. In fact, I would have liked more of it. I kind of […]
Wow, did I have some strong feelings about this book. This was full of angst, so should have been a big winner for me. But it wasn’t. I loved Benson’s book ‘Who’d of Thought’ so I had high expectations. This was longer than it needed to be. [redacted because of verbiage insensitive to diverse characters] […]
Well… Thank you to Lex for introducing me to this series. It was a fun ride. I grew to really know and care about all of the characters. This was a solid final installment. My only complaint with this series was that every single character had the same snarky humor. Everyone was born with the […]
No duds here. Anthology books are hit or miss for me. Usually, I’ll only like one or two of the offerings. But these three short Christmas stories were worth the read and put me in the holiday spirit. Triple Dog Dare by Georgia Beers has Sasha bringing a tenant home to meet her family because […]
2020 has been a weird year. The Pandemic negatively impacted my reading and reviewing with a general lack of concentration. I just couldn’t get into the books I was reading for awhile.

Marisol is a crime boss known as the Queen of Humboldt, a neighborhood in Chicago. Sabrina is Governor of Illinois. When Marisol is told that there will be an attempt on the Governor, she decides to take matters into her own hands. I was not expecting this book to be as good as it was. […]

While on her annual I-want-nothing-to-do-with-Christmas beach vacation, she discovers that the object of her work fantasies is also there. This book was just OK for me. I […]

She is making masterful dishes from within a food truck while waiting for construction to complete on the restaurant. Ryan Jacks runs her own business doing construction/project […]
‘Nick’ is an attorney who gets laid off. She falls into to doing repo work with some interesting characters. She meets a cute teacher at the office and they get ordered to repossess a series of increasingly bizarre vehicles. This book was just OK for me. The relationship of the main characters fell into the […]
Was this a debut book for this author? I didn’t see any other books listed for her on Goodreads. If that is the case, then consider me impressed. This was a fully engaging drama that was so affecting, I had a lump in my throat trying to keep tears from falling. I don’t now what […]
