Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres and Our Woman in Moscow is surprisingly the first book by Beatriz Williams I’ve read.

[Jess’s Review]: To Sir, With Love by Lauren Layne
I feel like a word that will always come to mind with this book is enchanting. This book made me swoon, sigh, cry, and laugh. Allllll of the emotions. I felt such a connection to Gracie with her love for fairy tales and daydreaming her dream life and love life. She was such an incredible […]

[Faiza’s Review] : The Nightborn (Stormbringer #2) by Isabel Cooper
This book had a strong prologue and introduced the main plot of the series but I had a hard time getting past the first 20% of the book. I felt like it dragged on a little, but after it the book picked up very fast. It follows the events of the first book in this […]

I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I actually did and […]

Sally Thorne won me over with The Hating Game a few years ago and that love was cemented with 99 Percent Mine. Having been a fan of Thorne’s previous books, I jumped at the opportunity to read her newest novel Second First Impressions. Second First Impressions, is a contemporary romance novel that features Ruthie Midona, […]
