I have been telling you all for months about FreshFiction’s box of random books that arrives each month – which I affectionately refer to as “The Pink Box of Joy”. While every subscriber gets one book that’s the same – this month it’s Avery Flynn’s The Charmer – the rest is a mystery until you open […]
Behold the glory of the pink box. After an absolute nightmare of a day yesterday, I was delighted to find this box of treasures upon my doorstep. Chock full with books I haven’t read (an increasingly difficult feat, I admit), I giggled delightedly as I unpacked. The main book in this month’s FFBox is Mika Jolie’s The […]
I’m an unabashed Lauren Layne fan, and this book only adds to that love. A hybrid of The Bachelor franchise and the fabulous Julia Roberts movie Runaway Bride, Ready to Run tells the story of ambitious producer Jordan Carpenter and reluctant contestant Luke Elliot. Jordan Carpenter’s job depends on finding a lead for the new reality show, Jilted, which is going to […]

Books from authors you love, and books from authors you haven’t met yet. In the July box, for instance (see above and […]
We all have those authors that are insta-clicks, don’t we. If you’re a contemporary romance reader and Sarah Mayberry isn’t one of yours, I’ll admit to being confused. I have at least liked, if not loved/adored/drooled over, everything she’s written and Tanner is no exception. The kick-off of a new series, we leave Mayberry’s normal stomping […]
Before I get going into my general delight of this book, decide for yourself if being historically accurate is important to you. There are some readers who are yanked right out of a historical romance if the idioms or customs are not time-period appropriate and it ruins everything for them. There are others who either […]
Stacey is tired of herself. She is particularly tired of her body, with its extra weight and fluffy bits. After a particularly horrifying family wedding where she was reminded of her body at every available moment, she gussies up all her courage and hires a personal trainer at a local gym. Robert loves owning his […]
