From the first sentence, this book made me obsessed with figuring out what would happen; it held my interest and handed out some very unexpected plot twists. The dual narrators both captured their characters well. Then, to my great disappointment, the author turns both heroines into complete dumbs dumbs, and an unsatisfactory ending .

Book Review: Flawless by Elsie Silver – A Spicy Bullriding Romance
So I went into this booking with high expectations and found it to be just above average. There was flirting, witty conversations, and a man ultimately head over heels for his woman. I wanted to book it to completely take my mind off the psychological thrillers I have been reading lately, and this completely did the trick.
What is Love By Jen Comfort – A Review
The chemistry and banter between these two 30-somethings is fresh and funny, and the spice is on fire! Just what I needed to get me out of my reading rut!
The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters- A Book Review
In conclusion, I enjoyed this novel and was emotionally invested in it from the beginning. However, despite the narration and writing quality, I got bored by the end. I still recommend Berry Pickers and look forward to reading her future novels.
The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson – A Review
Additionally, both main characters are physicians, shifters, and rare forms of their species (omega and alpha, respectively). If you are unfamiliar with shifters (aka werewolves), this book has little to no world-building; I would not consider it true paranormal or fantasy.
Remarkably Bright Creatures By Shelby Van Pelt – A Review
The writing is heavy at times as it deals with the fears of aging alone, grief, and loss, but it also can be funny as we learn about Marcellus and his antics at the aquarium and his valid opinions of his human captors.
The Dead Romantics By Ashley Poston – A Review
There were some loose ends in the character development I would have loved to work through, especially Florence’s grief; it just felt too surface-level for a book heavily related to death and dying. Additionally, despite one sexy conversation, I did not feel much tension between Benji Andor and Florence Day.

Yellowface by R.F. Kuang – A Review
From the discussion on how social media sells books to how the publishing industry has already selected what will be a best seller long before books make it to market, Kuang gave details on the “dirty” side of publishing. As someone who spends lots of time engaged on book-related social media, I loved the critique I believe Kuang was trying to get across.
Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr – A Book Review
I love interweaving stories and Doerr more than delivers. He easily slides you through centuries and around the globe, leaving you wanting to see where each story goes. If you love books and stories and how they can lift us and connect us to the past this book is for you.
