A Surprise Proposal in the Rose Garden (The Glenbriar Series #8) by Margaret Amatt

Rating: 4 out of 5.

4.5 stars

This was such a sweet, cute love story. Genevieve is a social influencer that touts her single girl life. Unfortunately, what she’d really like is to find the one, settle down, and start a family. Finlay falls too hard and too fast, and he has two failed engagements to show for it. Finlay agrees to go to a party with Genevieve as her fake boyfriend for the day, but neither expected to get drunk and get fake engaged – or have it posted live on Genevieve’s social feed.

Someone Somewhere (Bishop Security #6) by Debbie Baldwin

Rating: 4 out of 5.

This is a great romantic suspense with a superhot new book boyfriend you’ll want for your very own. Miles is smart, capable, hot and possessive. He is a fixer that makes the worse problems of the rich and powerful disappear. He goes through life with no emotion and no attachments – or so he likes to tell himself. His one weakness is Clara, his bluebird. They’ve been frenemies since kids and she’s a modern-day Robin Hood thief that steals back ill-gotten art and jewels and returns them to their rightful owners. She’s uncatchable, until she isn’t. Now she’s crossed the wrong maniac and he’s determined to make her pay. Slowly and painfully.

This Book Won’t Burn by Samira Ahmed

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Book Tour Review

Hope is Fireproof

I’m so excited to be a part of TBR Beyond Tours book tour of This Book Won’t Burn written by Samira Ahmed. It just came out on May 7 and as book lovers, you will NOT want to miss out on reading this powerful book.

If you’re against banning books, this book will make you mad, sad, happy, and hopeful. That basically sums up my feelings. My sister was an 8th and 9th grade English teacher for 40 years, and getting kids to read all kinds of books was a main focus. She bought books with her own money and set up a library of dozens and dozens (maybe even hundreds) of books in her classroom. She loaned books out to students and knew how to recommend just the right book to get a student interested in reading. I know that if she were still working at a school, hers would be the loudest voice of all.

In the Doghouse by Teri Case

Rating: 4 out of 5.

3.5 stars rounded up

This is a cute contemporary book about a couple’s breakup from the woman’s & her dog’s points of view. Let me just say, as a life-long dog owner, the premise of this book tickled me to no end. I’ve always wondered what my dogs are thinking, & have even pretended I understand what they were thinking when they looked at me or did something goofy – or annoying. Like, am I being punished because I had to stay at work late and her dinner was late? Probably.
