About Me

me

Hi, I'm Suzanne. Proofreader by day, book blogger by night, devourer of books 24/7. My reading tastes: Basically you name it, I probably like it. I read a lot of contemporary and historical, both adult and YA, and I've also been enjoying more and more fantasy lately. Hobbies include: buying and hoarding of books, rambling about books to anyone who will listen, and trying to recommend books to my family and friends whether they are readers or not - because seriously, how can you not love to read books?

Thanks to @macmillan.audio #macaudio2026 for the gifted ALCs.

BAD WORDS by Rioghnach Robinson (Pub Date - 10/6/26) - Loved this one! I was drawn to it because I love enemies to lovers, but this book is so much more than that. I really enjoyed the meaningul exploration about publishing and especially literary criticism.  I loved how the romance sparked from an author verbally sparring online with a literary critic who panned both of his books.  It’s a delicious slow burn as online passionate banter eventually gives way to real feelings as Selina and Parker really get to know one another.  Beautifully narrated by Katherine Chin & Major Curda. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

UNAPOLOGETIC LOVE STORY by Elle McNicoll (Pub Date - 10/13/26) - Delightful! Raina is an autistic podcasater whose popular podcast highlights autistic women. She is somewhat famous and catches the attention of Tom, an investigative reporter who loves to expose frauds and get them “cancelled.” Tom finds Raina refreshing but Raina doesn’t trust him (neither did I), so it was a nice surprise to realize that he is actually top notch book boyfriend material and perfect for Raina. My favorite part, aside from the opposites attract romance, was watching Raina stand up for her autistic community and make them feel seen and understood.  Fantastic on audio, courtesty of Jessie Mei Li’s incredible narration. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

BIRTH OF A WITCH by Nora Roberts (Pub Date - 11/17/26 (A Coven of Three, Book 1) - An atmospheric witchy read filled with magic, found family, mystery, darkness, and a hint of romance.  I enjoyed how the story spans several centuries, starting with the Salem Witch Trials where three women are hanged as witches. The youngest, a 13 year old girl, was not a witch, but to save her, is transformed into one by the other women, with the help of Caden, a young man with magic of his own. The story follows these witches reincarnated  over and over until present day as they seek to defeat dark magic. The pacing is a little slow at times but builds to an intense cliffhanger that has me eager to get book 2.  Narrated by Stephanie Nemeth-Parker. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🍁THREE FOR TUESDAY - FALL ROMANCE MINI REVIEWS 🍁 🍁THREE FOR TUESDAY - FALL ROMANCE MINI REVIEWS 🍁

WITH ALL MY HAUNTED HEART by Isabel Sterling (Pub Date 9/8/26) - Pippa is a strong, independent witch who is struggling to keep her magical business going. She accepts a job where she is to use her magic to find friendly spirits who would be willing to haunt her best friend’s bed and breakfast. Along the way, she ends up falling for her bestie’s non-magical business partner. In addition to the romance, which I was totally into, this story is also filled with themes of grief, healing, and found family. The perfect cozy, magic, sapphic romance for spooky season! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

BONFIRE & BLISS BOOKSTORE by Brittanee Nicole (Pub Date 8/11/26) - Penny and Monty were high school besties. Now, Penny owns a bookshop and Monty is a thriller author.  Penny is off romance at the moment, but would love to get the meddling matchmakers in their town to leave her alone for a while. Monty is struggling to write because he needs to write romantic suspense and he’s no good at it. Penny and Monty strike up a deal - Monty will pretend to be Penny’s boyfriend through the town’s Maple Festival, and Penny will help Monty add the perfect romantic subplot to his book.  Fake dating, bookish elements, small town romance, and all of the cozy fall vibes make this a delightful read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A WITCH IN NOTTING HILL by Alexandra Paige (Pub Date 8/11/26) - Willow is an actress who also happens to be a witch, a witch who loses control of her magic everytime there’s romance involved.  When she accidentally turns her manager into a cat, Willow heads to a London occult bookshop in search of a cure. There she finds a sexy, grumpy bookshop owner who agrees to help her.  A chaotic magical adventure ensues, as does a slow burn romance. This was such a fun read, filled with hilarious banter, so much chemistry, and found family vibes. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

✨YOU FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS✨

Pub Date - 11/3/2026

Happy Friday, everyone!  I’ve been putting together my holiday TBR so I was thrilled to get book mail from @christinedrummondwrites . This holiday romance sounds perfect and I can’t wait to dive into it! 

SYNOPSIS:

She fixes everyone’s messes. Coming home means facing the one man who never needed fixing.

Charlotte “Charlie” Hayes has built a career out of fixing other people’s disasters. As a music publicist, she can spin a scandal, save a reputation, and make the messiest men look good—even the one she’s dating.

So when her famous boyfriend’s career implodes days before Christmas, Charlie throws herself into saving it—until Brent cancels their lease without a word and vanishes on tour. Homeless and single, Charlie is forced back to the small Connecticut hometown she thought she’d escaped, complete with holiday cheer, painful family memories, and Hunter Wells, the maddeningly good best friend she’s been avoiding.

Hunter has spent years loving Charlie quietly because he knew she wasn’t ready. But now she’s back, and he’s done waiting. With a thriving dog-walking business and a life rooted in Pinegrove, Hunter doesn’t need saving. He just needs Charlie to stop running long enough to imagine the life she never let herself want: one with him.

But as Charlie manages her ex’s high-pressure tour from afar, small-town Christmas starts to feel less like an escape and more like a beautiful mess—one she doesn’t have to clean up alone. Hunter will always belong to the town she spent years outrunning, and Charlie can’t build a future with him without facing the past that drove her away.

For their love to last beyond Christmas, can they make room for both their dreams—and a version of home Charlie is finally ready to trust?

Perfect for readers who love cozy holiday romance, friends-to-lovers yearning, small-town charm, he-falls-first heroes, black cat x golden retriever energy, fake dating moments, caretaking, and all the Christmas feels.

The Monster Hunter’s Librarian Synopsis: 

As the newest hire at the Endless Library, Bells Mortevue finally has access to magic again and a chance to prove that the daughter of criminal necromancers can be trusted with power—even if it’s solely used to seek and sort books upon infinite shelves.

Except a certain monster hunter refuses to let Bells do her job.

Rhett Waltham doesn’t want help. Not when revealing the truth of his research would be a death sentence for his ailing human father. Preparing to risk his own life in a dangerous competition to save his dad, Rhett does not have time for a curious, tantalizing librarian witch who asks too many questions.

It’s clear the Library disagrees, as the sentient space itself forces the two together. Bells warms to the grumpy hunter as she slowly earns his trust, though she starts to suspect

🤠 Review - TRIGGER HAPPY 🤠

Author - Meredith Trapp

Pub Date - 10/20/2026

Okay, I’m not going to lie - I came so close to DNFing this book almost as soon as I started it.  I hadn’t read the synopsis and was just going off the cover, which was giving cute cowboy romance vibes. When I started reading and it became clear the book was about rival contract k!llers and started with the clean up of some pretty gnarly crime scenes, I was hesitant to continue because I didn’t think it would be my thing.  That said, if you’re like me when you start it, keep going because this book is so much fun! 

The story follows Sabrina, who is a Manhattan socialte, and Lawton, a wild cowboy.  Both have been trained in their respective family businesses, which just happen to be rival murder-for-hire businesses. There’s bad blood between the families, so it’s very awkward when both Sabrina and Lawton get hired for the same job in Wyoming and have to pretend to be a happily married couple. 

I loved the undercover element and how it allowed these two to get to know one another in a new way. They were clearly attracted to one another, so it was fun to watch them try and fail to fight their new feelings for one another. 

This was such a great time and had so many laugh out loud moments!

I did an immersive read and thought the audiobook was especially hilarious. The narrators, Kelsey Navarro Foster and Jesus E. Martinez, did such a great job bringing these characters to life and capturing the overall lighthearted tone of the story. 

Perfect for fans of:

Rivals to Lovers
Feuding Families
Forced Proximity
Fake Relationship
City Girl meets Country Boy

✨ Review - UNDONE ✨

Author - Peyton Corinne

Pub Date - 10/20/2026

I’m so sad to see the Undone series end, but what an incredible ride it has been! Every book has been so beautiful and has packed an emotional punch, but I think this final one hit me the hardest.  Lily and Toren have both been through so much and my heart just broke for them over and over again.  At the same time, I was rooting so hard for them to find the love and happiness together that they both deserved. 

Toren especially had my heart because he’s so misunderstood. I hated how he was so beaten down and felt so unworthy of love. I actually had tears in my eyes when Coach Harris and his wife were so kind to Toren just because Toren couldn’t believe that someone could actually care about him. 

My heart hurt for Lily as well. She’s a talented artist but is told time and again by her father that art is not a career, and he forces her down an academic path that she doesn’t want and isn’t suited for.  Between the emotional abuse and the being set up for academic failure, Lily begins to struggle with her mental health. 

I love a second chance romance, but this one almost broke me to hear what drove them apart in the first place.  It made me all the more glad they found their way back to one another. 

I did this as an immersive read and thought the audiobook narration was incredible.  Andre Bellido and Caitlin Elizabeth perfectly capture the angst, the yearning, and the deep emotional connection between Lily and Toren. 

The writing is beautiful and the emotion runs deep.  Highly recommend this one!

❓QOTD - If you’re doing any reading challenges this year, how are you doing with them? Have you met your reading goal for the year yet? Have you read any of these books?

Review:  James is a beautifully written reimagining of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It’s told from the perspective of Jim, a runaway slave, and is a much darker tale but the harrowing parts are well balance with other more humorous moments. I appreciated that it fleshes out Jim’s character and gives him so much more depth than the original. He comes across as wise and brave here, almost philosophical. I definitely recommending reading Huck Finn first and then reading this one to fully appreciate the different perspective

Review: Crimson River is the fifth book in The Edens series. It definitely works as a standalone but I recommend reading at least some of the earlier books first to meet the other Edens.  Loved the heartfelt romance between Lyla and Vance, getting to learn more about the family, and I also loved the mystery and suspense elements, which made this such an addicting read.

Review:  I’m still fully invested in Jamie and Claire and eve

Review - MISTLETOE ALL THE WAY

Author - Lauren Blakely

Pub Date - 10/6/2026

I still have several spooky season reads to get to, but I couldn’t resisting diving into Mistletoe All the Way, the new spicy holiday romance from Lauren Blakely. It’s a grumpy-sunshine, small town romance that is full of holiday cheer, and it was such a fun way to kick off my holiday romance reading. 

Noah is a grumpy veterinarian who is not a fan of Christmas. He’s basically a sexy, broody Grinch who is trying to prove to his grandfather that he is the best person to take over the family horse farm now that his grandfather is retiring. 

Eloise is a ray of sunshine - a little sweet, a little sassy, and passionate about making her PR business a success by securing work from the town mayor. She thinks she can achieve this by helping Noah win the town’s holiday competition and be crowned Mr. Holiday.  Even though he can’t stand Christmas, Noah wants to take part in the contest to prove to his grandfather that he’s invested in the community.  Eloise thinks she can change his mind when it comes to Christmas.

This was such a fun read! Eloise and Noah have great chemistry and I loved their opposites-attract dynamic and the hilarious banter between them. The Mr. Holiday competition was so entertaining and had me laughing out loud on several occasions. Poor Noah! 🤣

I was also invested in Noah & Eloise teaming up to save the horse farm from Noah’s scheming, shady cousin.  The two of them make a great team, in every way.

I paired the e-arc with the audiobook & recommend this route.  There’s a full cast narration lead by Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton, and they do a wonderful job capturing the fun and festive nature of the story, as well as the attraction between Eloise and Noah. 

If you’re looking for a fun Christmas romance to add to your holiday TBR, you can’t go wrong with thiis book!

❄️ Review - HOME FOR THE HOMICIDES ❄️

Author - Elle Cosimano and Hannah Morrissey

Pub Date - 10/13/2026

I didn’t think I was read to start reading holiday books until I dove into Home for the Homicides. It’s a hilarious holiday-themed murder mystery that kept me chuckling to myself from start to finish, and that also features a healthy dose of spicy romance between the two rival detectives who are assigned to investigate the murder. 

I had such a fun time with this clever story! It’s set in the town of Christmas, a cozy, charming town that looks straight out of a Hallmark holiday movie, right down to the all of the characters having holiday-themed names, including rival detectives Holly Frost and Mark Shepherd, although they might be better known by the unfortunate nicknames they’ve recently earned, Betty Crocker and Pole Licker, respectively. 

Holly and Mark have been sent to Christmas not only to solve this murder, but also to hopefully redeem themselves.  As they are forced to work together, we are treated to major unresolved sexual tension between them, so much yearning, and endless witty banter. 

I’d consider this a cozy mystery.  The murder victim came to town looking for love and ends up murdered with an icicle. While there are plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader guessing and interested, the stakes are still fairly low and the humor abounds. 

I loved the balance between mystery and romance, and one of the other highlights for me was the narrator who a running, funny & sarcastic commentary.  I also loved that the story takes place over 12 days, which immediately made me think of the 12 Days of Christmas.

The audiobook features a multi-cast narration with Angela Dawe, who does a brilliant job creating distinctive voices for all of the characters, as well as Colin Donnell, & Patti Murin.  They were all so entertaining!

If you’re don’t think you’re ready for Christmas in October, this book will change your mind!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

🪦 Review - LOVE YOU TO DEATH 🪦

Author - Jenna Levine

Pub Date - 10/13/2026

I think I’m becoming obsessed with grim reaper romances! I’m a huge fan of Jenna Levine’s paranormal romances and she has really outdone herself with her latest, Love You to Death. It features Daniel, a jaded grim reaper who falls hard for Lucy, a recently deceased woman whose soul he has been sent to collect.

In spite of him being a reaper, I found Daniel to be very relatable. I think we’ve all probably experienced some job that we’ve done for so long that we just don’t want to do it anymore and with his being death over and over again, it’s easy to see why he is so jaded. 

My heart broke for Lucy as soon as I realized Daniel had come for her.  Her night was already such a mess and all she wants to do is go be with her sister and help her plan her wedding, and instead she gets hit by a bus.  Talk about bad luck!  I admired her pluck and determination to bargain with the reapers for more time so she can be there for her sister’s wedding, and I loved that she made such an impression on Daniel that he’s willing to break the rules and help her strike a deal with his bosses, a deal that leads to him having to closely monitor her for the extra time she has been granted. 

I loved the connection that forms between Lucy and Daniel and especially that being around Lucy reminds Daniel of what it was like to be human.  Lucy’s second chance at life is a second chance for him as well, and it was so great to watch him help her live what time she has left to the fullest. 

I also loved that this was both a fun and swoony, slow burn romance and a very moving story about second chances and about being good enough just as you are.  It made me laugh but it also just gave me such a full heart.

Highly recommend this book for fans of:

Paranormal romance
Grumpy Sunshine
Forced Proximity
Forbidden Romance
Balance of fun banter and poignant moments
Spicy Romance

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

🧹 Review - MEET CUTE MAGIC 🧹

Author - Morgan Elizabeth

Pub Date - 9/8/2026

Meet Cute Magic is the first book in the Heartwood Hollow series and it is just as cute and cozy as the name makes it sound!

Rosie is such an easy character to love and to root for. She runs a bookstore in Heartwood Hollow, and she and her sisters are witches.  They also happen to be under a curse that doesn’t allow them to find love.  Rosie isn’t having it though because she wants to her her one true love, so she decides she’s going to figure out how to break the curse.

I admired Rosie’s strength and determination as she sets out to conjure up the ghost who cursed them and make him tell her how to break it. Once she has her answer, she teams up with her neighbor Jack, who actually cannot stand her because she’s too bubbly and over the top for him, to go on a magical quest to round up all of the ingredients she needs.  Why does Jack agree to help? Because the ghost who cursed Rosie is Jack’s grandfather!

I had such a good time following Rosie and Jack on this quest through the paranormal community. The banter between these two was hilarious and even though they’ve clearly been annoying each other for years, there’s also some major chemistry there.  When they have to pretend to be a couple to get into a paranormal club to retrieve an ingredient, I just knew we were well on our way to finding out how Rosie and Jack really feel about one another, and I was so here for it!

Rosie and Jack are such endearing characters and they aren’t the only ones either. I loved Rosie’s sisters, Percy the cat, and Phillip the ghost, all of whom are quite meddlesome in the best way.

If you’re in the mood for a cozy fantasy with a dash of spice this spooky season, Meet Cute Magic is the book for you.

The audiobook was narrated by Lilly Drake and Michael Gallagher, who do a wonderful job of capturing the story’s lighthearted tone, as well as the chemistry and the pining between Rosie and Jack.  They were a delight to listen to!

👻 Review - ENTITIES TO LOVERS 👻

Author - Mallory Marlowe

Pub Date - 10/13/2026

Mallory Marlowe is one of my favorite authors for paranormal romances and her latest, Entities to Lovers, is a must-read for spooky season! Not only is it spooky and atmospheric, but it’s also cozy and filled with New England fall vibes.

Rory and Ezra work as ghost tour guides at Ye Olde Spirit Shop in Boston. Sparks fly whenever they are together and they claim to loathe one another. It’s pretty obvious that’s not the case though because they’re always secretly checking each other out. 

Things change, however, when they are forced to give a tour together and while bickering, break something in a haunted house, and end up cursed.  Rory is a medium who can communicate with ghosts and when she hears “I’ll show you!”, she knows they messed up. 

Their curse might be the most fun curse and the most creative use of forced proximity I’ve ever read about. Whenever they are apart, terrible things happen to each of them, but as soon as they are together again, they are surrounded by good fortune. That is, unless they start bickering again, them all hell breaks loose.  It was such a good time following Ezra and Rory as they try to figure out what the ghost is trying to show them so they can finally break the curse. 

The romance was everything and I was obsessed with Rory and Ezra as a couple, especially when they start giving more tours together. When they let their guard down around one another, they are an amazing team and clearly perfect for one another. 

I honestly loved everything about this book, but a real standout was the tours themselves. I thought it was so fun that Ezra and Rory dress up like ghosts in period costumes and give the tour as if they are spirits. 

Other standouts were the ghostly secondary characters, including a haunted porcelain doll named Clementine who gives gifts to people she likes, and then Luna, a spirit in Rory’s apartment who likes to tidy and organize, & help Rory pick out her outfits. 

Spooky season romance perfection!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⚾️Review - LOVE BEYOND THE DIAMOND (Waves Baseball ⚾️Review - LOVE BEYOND THE DIAMOND (Waves Baseball #3) ⚾️

Author - Laura Langa

Pub Date - 10/9/2026

Thanks to @lauralangawrites for the gifted review copy!

Pardon the baseball pun, but Laura Langa has knocked it out of the park with Love Beyond the Diamond, the latest installment in her Waves Baseball series. I’ve enjoyed every book in the series so far, but I think this one is my favorite. 

Shane is the gruff, tattooed right fielder for the Waves baseball team, and Willow is the chaotic artist who brings out the side of Shane that no one else sees. I was captivated by them from the moment they meet and Shane scoops Willow up and rushes her to the hospital because he notices something is off with her.  Even under those tense circumstances, it was obvious they had incredible chemistry and I found myself fully invested in seeing how their relationship developed.

I was practically swooning by the time they end up in a marriage of convenience to help each other out, and I loved how supportive they were of each other.  Shane helps Willow learn how to handle her new diabetes diagnosis while the marriage gives her health insurance she wouldn’t otherwise have, and Willows helps Shane learn how to just live and have fun by exposing him to childhood experiences he has never done before. I always love the way Langa writes relationships in her books and this one is definitely a new favorite. The tender moments, the passionate kisses, the longing, it’s all just chef’s kiss!

While the relationship is really sweet, there are also plenty of laughs in Love Beyond the Diamond, especially in the team group chat.  If you like found family vibes, you’re going to love the Waves baseball players. 

Perfect for Fans of:

Grumpy-Sunshine
Opposites Attract
Marriage of Convenience
Only One Bed
Closed Door Romance / No Spice
He Falls First

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
