The Newest Releases That You Won’t Want to Miss!

Reading is one of my passions in life. Reading exciting fiction that keeps me on the edge of my seat or turning the pages late into the night is another. I absolutely love a great romantic comedy, romantic suspense or contemporary romance. And, from time to time, I also enjoy both historical fiction and nonfiction!

My Rating System:

★/5 (One Star): Did Not Finish, Did Not Like*

★★/5 (Two Stars): It was OK, Had enough redeeming qualities so finish the story. *

★★★/5 (Three Stars): I Liked It. This was a good story with some minor issues. *

★★★★/5 (Four Stars): I Really Liked It! This was a great story with no issues.

★★★★★/5 (Five Stars): I LOVE IT! This book was amazing and I enjoyed everything about it immensely.

*A Note To Publishers, Authors and Readers: Please know that it is my opinion that each reader will experience a book differently for a wide range of reasons. For some, it is personal preference, the author’s writing style, how relatable characters are, content and even triggers, which can be off-putting to a reader who’s experienced a similar trauma. Reading a book is a very personal experience and as such, I want you all to know I write my reviews to the best of my ability, striving to be honest without being hurtful to an author with whom I may not agree. I will always explain why I didn’t care for a story. I also deeply understand the time, love, sweat and tears an author pours into a story and NEVER want to take that away from them with my words. I will always strive to share the good qualities a story has even if it is one I didn’t like or had strong opinions about.
