Although I was ready to throw my kindle towards the end waiting for these two to admit their feelings for each other, I am just too impatient for slow burns, I enjoyed watching them fall in love. Read this is if you love workplace romances, slow burn romances, or awards shows!

Buckle your seatbelts & grab some tissues. The opening scene sets the stage & immediately sucked me in. The book is about two union spies who are in deep undercover in Richmond Virginia in the first year of the Civil War. Simply put, this book was high octane, sexy, heartfelt, and tackled some serious issues about reparations, forgiveness, and how can we move forward. Do yourself a favor and read this book!

This book just seemed like a good book to read during a pandemic.

I hadn't read the webcomics, and I got the audiobook so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. My favorite bits were actually the questions he didn't answer, but the ones he did were still pretty funny & explored the mechanics of everything that would go horribly wrong. My take-aways; any catastrophe is worse in the nude & never try these at home.

With an appropriate number of dogs and tons of amazing cooking (seriously read this one with a snack, I was so hungry) this book is an excellent start to Weatherspoon's newest series. A celebrity chef loses her memory and has to go to the ranch and first love she purposefully left behind 10 years ago. A wonderful take on second chance romances with a cowboy spin. I cannot wait for Jesse's book!

This novella was amazing! The closing line was phenomenal, and actually gave me goosebumps.

Equal parts satire, thriller, and character study, this novella explores the relationship between a beautiful flighty serial killer and the increasingly resentful protective older sister who is cleaning up after her. I cannot recommend this book enough!

This book wasn't what I expected. It was crazy atmospheric and the ending was simultaneously depressing and horrifying. Unlike the Netflix series, this book leaves you wondering if anyone can ever really “go home“.
