Delicious fun! I enjoyed watching the youngest Greene sister find her match and loved even more seeing her go toe to toe with the devil with a heart of gold!

Something lighter to read between writing letters to my members of Congress; I need a little break from all the pain in the world. Mollie the dog helps too. #romantsy #dogsoflitsy

One of those days where it‘s warm and you can feel the rain is coming. Perfect time to read outside for me. I hope you all are getting some reading in today as well.

(Also need the rain since you can see the grass is dying)

Bookish.SAM It‘s the same here... I‘m sitting outside, enjoying it, but wondering when I‘m going to have to scramble to tuck the patio furniture away 😜 apparently they‘re taking potential tornados 🌪🤦🏻‍♀️ (edited) 4y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Same! The cat and I are getting in as much outdoor time as the weather permits. 😅 4y

Mehso-so

I loved the historical detail, the romance, and the side characters (previous leads). But the ending didn‘t hold my interest.

I had to go to the store today. I was feeling just tired and meh so I bought myself a little romance as a treat! I always enjoy Shupe, I‘m hoping the “Head over Heels” is good. Now to find the time to read them!

MemoirsForMe Glad you treated yourself! 🙌🏻 4y

From the first paragraph this book sucked me in and didn‘t let go (for real read it in one morning ❤️) Justine Greene and Jack Mulligan we‘re perfect and this novel had drama, romance and an awesome setting.

Starting two new books today. I wasn't feeling the fantasy audiobook so am switching to another re-read. I plan on re-reading all of Moning's Highlander series. The 2nd book is an ARC I've been hearing wonderful things about.
