Review: Your Lonely Nights Are Over by Adam Sass (Release 09/12/2023)
I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Both of the Adam Sass books I’ve read have managed to find me exactly when I needed them.

Review: Hello Stranger by Katherine Center (Release 07/11/2023)
I received an eARC of this novel from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Hello Stranger is very different from the author’s summertime release from last year: The Bodyguard. And for much of the book, I found myself feeling like maybe this wasn’t my type of book, even though I had highly…

Review: Darkhearts by James L. Sutter (Release 06/06/2023)
I received an eARC of this novel from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Based on the synopsis, I’d expected Darkhearts to be a much heavier and more serious book than it was, but I was surprised to find that it was a far lighter and funnier book in reality. I really enjoyed…

Review: The Bodyguard by Katherine Center (Release 07/19/2022)
I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I’ll be honest, this isn’t my usual genre but, I really enjoyed this book. If you’re struggling to get into this book, I’d advise waiting to put it down until Hannah and Jack start to settle into Jack’s family’s ranch. The story…
