Moss’d in Space (Moss’d in Space, #1) by Rebecca Thorne

Rating: 4 out of 5.

I loved this book!!! It reminded me of one of my favorite SciFi shows, Farscape, and so I was hooked. Torian worked hard to afford to buy her own starship and captain her own ship. All she could afford was a tiny starship that had been abandoned for a century and was covered in moss. Torian got it running and to her surprise, the moss is an organic computer with a major attitude and abandonment issues. An immortal alien whose species was long thought to be extinct built it and forgot where he parked it. Thus begins Torian’s crazy ride.

Falling Into You (Colburn Brothers #3) by Jill Shalvis

Rating: 4 out of 5.

I love visiting the Colburn Brothers once again and watching Tucker finally fall in love! This is book 3 in the series but can be read as a standalone. Tucker and Hazel were a thing in high school until she left town at 18 and Tucker failed to go with her. Hazel is back in town temporarily to help her estranged dad who suffered a heart attack. Once he’s settled, she’s out.

Death’s Daughter (Children of the Old Ones, #1) by S. A. Barnes

Rating: 3 out of 5.

This was a fun, fluffy urban paranormal fantasy that features the daughter of Death, Jocasta, just trying to be normal at college. She’s got great friends and a complicated relationship with a TA, Carter. Instead of killing people she feeds on their disappointments, failures, and rejections. All is going well until a sexy guy named Devon, a descendant of Lust—shows up on campus because Death just named Jo as his successor, making her a powerful ally and a massive target. When a friend of Jo’s is murdered, Jo becomes the number 1 suspect. As the body count rises, and Jo does everything she can to protect those she loves, she tests the limits of her power and doesn’t know who to trust.

To Cage a Wild Bird (Divided Fates #1) by Brooke Fast

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Woohoo!!! What a wild ride! I love dystopian books and so many authors get it wrong, but not here. While we only get bits and pieces about how the world fell apart, there is enough information to fire you up against the powers that be. I look forward to learning more about this world in the next book.

Rumors & Whiskey (The Whiskey Women, #1) by Victoria Wilder

Rating: 4 out of 5.

I love the world the author built for this series. The MFC’s intimidating family, the small town characters, the mysterious secrets, the small town cops – this book has everything you could want in a romantic suspense. I listened to the book and the narrators did a fantastic job. They infused plenty of suspicion, snark, hesitation, and steam into their voices to bring the book alive. Samantha Brentmoor’s voice is so versatile that you can easily recognize all the various characters. Connor Crais is smooth as whiskey (see what I did there? lol) and sexy AF. You can feel the heat pouring off him when he interacts with Wyn. I highly recommend you listen to the audio of this book.

Winner Takes All by Emily Martin

Rating: 4 out of 5.

This was such a cute, fun romcom that I devoured in one sitting. Talent scout Eleanor is in Las Vegas trying to sign a popular alt-rock group to her record label. She needs it to save her job. Unfortunately, Adam shows up also intending to sign the band. He’s her arch rival and former colleague who recently poached the top performing artist from Eleanor’s roster. When the band decides to party after dinner there is no way Eleanor is going to let the band go with only Adam. Skip to Eleanor and Adam waking up in bed together wearing wedding bands. Uh oh!!

If you’re a Jane Austin fan, you will love this historical fiction cozy mystery series. As the story begins, Jonathan Darcy is recovering from the gunshot wound he received during his duel and Juliet Tilney is suffering from her ruined reputation after an artist’s scandalous fake portrait of her.

The Last Best Quest Ever by F. T. Lukens

Rating: 4 out of 5.

This was such a cute and cozy YA fantasy that I smiled the entire time I read it. Ellinore is only 17 years old but has the best questing record of anyone in the kingdom. But, it’s all built on lies and Ellinore is tired of being a fraud. After she wins another quest, she shocks everyone by officially retiring at the royal feast. She goes home only to find her twin brother Zig has gambled his life by betting that Ellinore can retrieve the horn of the mythical Elder Beast, an almost impossible quest.
