I had the best time with this book! It’s everything I want in a cozy, feel-good holiday romance—sharp banter, emotional depth, and chemistry that practically jumps off the page. From the very first chapter, I was smiling like an idiot and didn’t stop until I reached the last page. Elizabeth returns home for her brother’s…
War Lord: Scourge of Rome by Adam Lofthouse | Book Review
This is the third and final installment in Adam Lofthouse’s series, and though it’s the only one I’ve read so far, I was hooked from the very first page. The book throws you straight into the action—no time wasted on gentle introductions—and somehow that works perfectly for Alaric, the lovable troublemaker at the heart of…
The Lost Promise of Ireland by Susanne O’Leary | Book Review
This is the third book in Susanne O’Leary’s Starlight Cottages series, and although it’s the first one I’ve read by her, it absolutely won me over. It works beautifully as a standalone, but it’s clear that the world she’s built across this series is filled with charm, heart, and strong, relatable characters. I can easily…
The Midwife’s Miracle Twins by Caroline Anderson | Book Review
This was my first book in the Yoxburgh Park Hospital series, and I absolutely adored it! From the very beginning, I was drawn to the warmth and humanity of the story. The characters were beautifully written, their struggles and triumphs so real that I couldn’t help but become emotionally invested in every moment. Set in…
Desolation by Keith Moray | Book Review
This is a darkly atmospheric and intelligent historical mystery that drops readers right into 14th-century England—a time when war, pestilence, and paranoia ruled the land. The Hundred Years’ War with France rages on, and the country reels under the return of the Black Death, a plague so devastating it claims one in five souls. Against…
Shield of Mercia by MJ Porter | Book Review
From the opening pages, I should have known that the fleeting tranquility wouldn’t last—because where would the excitement be in that? The calm quickly gives way to a tempest of battle, treachery, and survival. Once again, the weather itself feels like a living, breathing character—cold, wet, and relentless. You can practically feel the dampness in…
Ugly Duckling by Lani Lynn Vale | Book Review
So if you have been reading Lani Lynn Vale for a while then you already know that Gunner lost his son Jett, in a school shooting which we learned in Maybe Don’t Wanna. This book is his story years after that. In the previous book, Mistaken Identity , we find out that Gunner has a…
Camelot by Peter Gibbons | Book Review
Having already read books two and three in this series, I knew to expect intensity, depth, and heart—but Camelot exceeded all expectations. Arthur stands once again against the Saxon threat as Britain’s protector, Pendragon, but the greatest danger comes not across the sea—it’s at home. Rival kingdoms see him as a usurper, unwilling to band…
Ashes of Rebellion by Michael Jecks | Book Review
Having read book one of the series but not books two and three, I did find myself missing a bit of context going into Ashes of Rebellion. There’s little in the way of recap, which makes it harder for newer or lapsed readers to fully connect with some of the characters. Because of this, most…
Valour by Richard Cullen | Book Review
The third book in this powerful series takes the story to new heights, weaving together faith, loyalty, and the relentless brutality of 1223. A holy woman, Fabrisse, sets out with her companions to convert a pagan clan, but their mission ends in devastation, leaving Wace and his comrades to attempt a daring rescue. Bound by…
