Okay, so I binged this last week and I forgot to write down my thoughts afterwards. Of course, I don’t remember anything now. So you get a ✨vibes✨ review. Which is basically just me saying I love everything Abby writes, and this book is no exception.
REVIEW: The Outlaw Noble Salt by Amy Harmon
Sandy M’s review of The Outlaw Noble Salt by Amy Harmon
Historical Romance published by Lake Union Publishing 9 Apr 24
This is one of those stories in which we know the ending. As I read this heartfelt and utterly emotional book, I kept putting it down as it came closer and closer to that ending, not wanting it to go down in the same way we’ve heard for years. In spite of that, Amy Harmon gives us a romance for the ages.
REVIEW: The Spirit Girls by Dawn Merriman
Stevie‘s review of The Spirit Girls (Rylan Flynn Mystery, Book 1) by Dawn Merriman
Paranormal Romantic Suspense published by Second Sky 09 May 23
The premise of this book really appealed to me – Rylan can see spirits and makes a ghost-hunting YouTube series with her best friend, as well as helping the dead move on once the main part of the filming is done. Sadly, the execution let it down. Rylan has an antagonistic relationship with local police officer Ford Pierce, who (understandably, given his profession) doesn’t like Rylan and her friend poking around in potentially dangerous, old buildings. What Rylan interprets as signs of hauntings, Ford possibly views as evidence that the building is about to collapse. Not to mention how he can’t be seen as condoning trespassers.
REVIEW: Among the Heather by Samantha Young
Sandy M’s review of Among the Heather (Highlands, Book 2) by Samantha Young
Contemporary Romance published by Samantha Young 5 Dec 23
Samantha Young never fails to draw me into her stories with characters and storylines that are always intriguing and pull at my heartstrings. North and Aria both have their self-confidence issues, being products of Hollywood in one form or another. When they meet at Ardnoch Caste in the Scottish Highlands, where the wealthy elite come to hide or get away from it all, things don’t go well. We get to go along for the slow-burn ride before that happily ever after finally concedes.
REVIEW: Funny Story by Emily Henry
Kaitlyn‘s review of Funny Story by Emily Henry
Contemporary Romance published by Berkley 23 Apr 24
To say I’m an Emily Henry fan is a serious understatement. I’ll read anything this woman writes – she can do no wrong.
This is A LITERAL MASTERPIECE. I laughed out loud at least 837 times. The banter is PERFECTION. Seriously, some of her wittiest writing yet. I had so much fun with this book. I binged it in five hours and was devastated when it was over. The writing is flawless, and I would die for the side characters.

REVIEW: Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver
Kaitlyn‘s review of Butcher & Blackbird, Ruinous Love Trilogy, Book 1) by Brynne Weaver
Romantic Suspense Comedy published by Zando – Slowburn 23 Oct 23
First off, let me say it’s pretty hard to rattle me. I’ve spent a lot of time with cadavers. (This is way less weird when I mention I have a master’s in anatomy and sometimes help with medical school gross anatomy courses – lol) So it’s pretty hard to gross me out, but there are a few times in this book where even I was like “oh my 🤢🤮” 😂
REVIEW: Expiration Dates by Rebecca Serle
Sandy M’s review of Expiration Dates by Rebecca Serle
Contemporary Romance published by Atria Books 19, Mar 24
I’m always thrilled now when I discover Rebecca Serle has a new release on the way. I discovered her a few years ago and have loved every book by her that I’ve read. I really enjoy the little “paranormal” bits she adds to her stories, making them more intriguing as we learn about her characters and how they deal with those other-worldly aspects. So far, for me, she’s been very successful in that respect. So I was really looking forward to this book to see what she’s come up with now.
