Portrait of a Scotsman
I adore this series. It’s educational, charming, spicy, and filled with independent women during a time when women were seen as property. I’ve loved all our couples (Lucie and Tristan, Annabell and Sebastian) and I have loved Hattie’s character since Bringing Down the Duke, so I was extra thrilled to finally get a love story…

The Other Side of Night
The Other Side of Night is one of my most anticipated Fall 2022 read. It’s best to go into this one with a open mind and without to much context, which always makes for an interesting read. There are a few different ways this story is told. David Asha, a well known author is the…
Killers of a Certain Age
One of my most highly anticipated new releases for this fall! Just from the snyopsis along this was giving me a mixture of The Change and James Bond vibes! I mean elderly women assassins? Yes please!
