Loved returning to Spark House! Starry-Eyed Love by is the second book in her contemporary romance series featuring the Spark sisters.

Review: The No-Show by Beth O’Leary

Review: The No-Show by Beth O’Leary

Cleverly written, The No-Show by introduces readers to three women who have little in common except that they are all stood up by the same man on Valentine’s Day. On the surface, this book seems to be a women’s fiction centered around our three main characters as they delve into their own lives and relationship […]

Review: Bright Ruined Things by Samantha Cohoe

Review: Bright Ruined Things by Samantha Cohoe

A loose retelling of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Bright Ruined Things by takes place over the course of one day, following Mae and her role in the Prosper family. I have never read The Tempest so I personally cannot compare the two. What I can say is that I enjoyed Cohoe’s melding of 1920s culture and […]

Review: Within These Wicked Walls by Lauren Blackwood

Review: Within These Wicked Walls by Lauren Blackwood

“Ethiopian-inspired debut fantasy retelling of Jane Eyre” is a perfect description of this book. Within These Wicked Walls by is a fantastic, often times dark fantasy that I did not want to sit down. Following a young woman trying to make a name for herself, the story unfolds in the cursed mansion of handsome Mr. […]

Review: Donut Fall in Love by Jackie Lau

Review: Donut Fall in Love by Jackie Lau

This one had so much promise, but did not live up to my expectations. Donut Fall in Love by is billed as a rom-com, diverse/own voices, and (for me) set in another country so I was excited to dive in. If it wasn’t for the fact that this was an ARC read that I was […]

Review: The Sweetheart Deal by Miranda Liasson

I adored this one! The Sweetheart Deal by is the first book in her new series that follows two rivals as they find themselves working together to save their respective family-owned businesses. I don’t know what it is about Liasson’s writing, but she pulls you in to the story and makes you feel everything about […]
