Book Review: Kill Me Twice, Thrill Me to Death
It’s time for me to catch up on my backlog of book reviews, so I’ve grouped these romantic suspense books into this bundled review. Now, I’ve long admired the way The Book Smugglers structured their review post, and since one of the Top 10 Things I’ve resolved to do this year ...

Great Western Romances: Diablo, The Scotsman and Never Love a Lawman
It’s the New Year, and time for me to catch up on that backlog of book reviews, over the next couple of weeks (I hope!). One post that has been sitting in my draft folder for the longest time, is that follow-up to the Great Western Drive spearheaded by Kristie, ...

Let’s talk about the newbie first. Garden Spells from Sarah Addison Allen has the pre-requisite premise of romance against the backdrop of two sisters reconciling and reuniting after ten years apart, a touch of whimsical magic and the kind of heart-warming subtly hinted at HEA ending that made me feel all fuzzy and brimming with hope after reading it. This sweet small-town romance set in Bascom, North Carolina, is more than what the synopsis makes it out to be.
