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?

🌸 MINI REVIEWS - BLUE MOON SERIES 🌸 Thanks 🌸 MINI REVIEWS - BLUE MOON SERIES 🌸

Thanks to @read_bloom for the gifted copies.  I’ve been loving each book in Lucy Score’s Blue Moon small town romantic comedy series.  I binged these in just a couple of sittings and finished each book with a smile on my face. 

Not Part of the Plan (First published 4/10/17; re-released  7/8/25)

This installment follows Niko, a sexy motorcycle-riding photographer from New York, and Emma, Blue Moon’s feisty brewery manager. who is Niko’s opposite in every way.  Niko has a reputation for being a bad boy, while Emma is the kind of woman men want to settle down with. At first Emma is unimpressed with Niko and his charming ways, but when she realizes that he is trying to figure out what is missing in his life and in his photography, Emma can’t resist trying to help him figure it out.  The chemistry between Niko and Emma is off the charts, no matter how hard Emma tries to keep the walls up that she has had around her since ending her last relationship, and it was fun watching Niko eventually get her to let her guard down and then watching their relationship develop the more they got to know and trust one another.  Not Part of the Plan delivered all of the laughs and spicy content I’ve come to expect in this series, but also has a level of emotional depth to it that had me rooting for these characters so hard.  This is my favorite Blue Moon book so far! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Holding on to Chaos (First published 9/25/17; re-released  8/5/25)

Eva is a romance author, who is prone to getting into accidents and finding chaos, and yet she has still manages to charm Donovan (“Sheriff Sexy”), who freely admits he would love to date her.  Eva is hesitant, particularly because of the weird planetary alignment situation that has caused the townspeople to act crazier than usual.  Is the sheriff saying what he’s saying because he really feels it, or is the planetary chaos making him act out of character?  I loved their chemistry, and I also loved how patient the Sheriff was with Eva.  Also fun is that Eva is trying to keep her writing career a secret. Good luck keeping a secret in Blue Moon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Review - FORGET ME NOT

Author - Stacy Willingham

Pub Date - 8/26/25

Stacy Willingham is one of my favorite thriller authors so I was excited to dive into her latest, Forget Me Not and wow, it did not disappoint! 

Claire is an investigative journalist who is haunted by a missing person’s case, that of her sister, Natalie, who disappeared 22 year ago. When Claire loses her job and is called to come back home and help care for her estranged mother, Claire decides to take a summer job at Galloway Farm, a muscadine vineyard about an hour from where she grew up in coastal South Carolina and it also happens to be the last place Natalie worked before she disappeared. 
There she discovers an old diary written by one of the vineyard’s owners and starts reading it. 

What starts out as a typical diary soon takes adark and twisted turn as the pages begin to describe a farm that sounds almost cult-like and then gives details about various unsolved crimes in the area. Claire becomes obsessed with the diary’s contents and with trying to figure out if her sister’s disappearance could possibly be related.

I really enjoyed everything about this fast paced thriller. The beautiful isolated vineyard setting really adds to the atmospheric nature of the story, and contrasts with Galloway Farm’s s dark past, and I thought the author did a fantastic job of using the diary entries & Claire’s experiences to build suspense and create tension.  This was such an addictive and truly haunting read and it kept me guessing until the end. I binged this book in a couple of sittings and have been thinking about it nonstop ever since I finished it.

The audiobook was narrated by Karissa Vacker and Helen Laser, and they are both just outstanding. Their narration perfectly captures the atmospheric quality of Willingham’s writing, made Claire all the more sympathetic, and was definitely one of the reasons why I binged this book so quickly. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

 Review - THE BREAK-IN

Author - Katherine Faulkner

Pub Date - 8/26/25

If you’re in the mood for a twisty domestic thriller, Katherine Faulkner’s latest, The Break-In, might be exactly the read you’re looking for.  It starts off with a bang when Alice, a wealthy London mom, is hosting a playdate with friends in her home and an intruder breaks in. He is armed, behaving erratically, and when he starts heading toward the room where the children are, Alice panics and kills him. The killing is ruled as self-defense but Alice is still haunted by having killed a man and struggles to move on with her life.

When she gets a mysterious phone call telling her all is not as it seems, starts to see online comments implying the same thing, and then people in her life start behaving strangely, Alice becomes obsessed with learning more about the man she killed and why he came to her house.  Her quest for more information takes her into some questionable situations and she ultimately ends up uncovering secrets that hit so close to home, they threaten to destroy everything Alice holds dear. 

I really enjoyed this one overall. As a mom, I was sympathetic to Alice’s circumstances. I think most of us would do whatever it takes to protect our children and could easily find ourselves in a similar situation.  I did want to throttle her at times though because some of the choices she makes along the way as she’s playing amateur detective. Her poor judgment frustrated me. What she ultimately uncovers though? WOW. 

I liked the author’s writing style. The story hooked me right away, it’s filled with suspense and clever twists that kept me guessing. It’s also packed with tension and emotion as Alice unravels the mystery of the man she killed, while at the same time, sending her own life into turmoil. 

The book did start to feel a little long, but Shiromi Arserio’s narration was so good, especially when it came to building suspense, that it kept me interested.

🧹Review - THE LATE-NIGHT WITCHES 🧹

Author - Auralee Wallace

Pub Date - 8/19/25

I went into this one blind, going purely off of those cozy cover vibes, and ended up really enjoying it.  It’s one of those stories that has a little something for everyone - it has family drama, witches, vampires, curses, and even the tiniest hint of romance!  It’s kind of hard to describe, but think Practical Magic meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer and you’re in the ballpark.

The family drama drew me in right away because as the eldest sister, I immediately related to Cassie, trying to hold everything together.  She’s raising three kids on her own, has a sister who is a wild child, and is barely surviving as it is, but then it’s dumped in her lap that she is also the “chosen witch” and it’s up to her to defeat a centuries old vampire on Halloween night or the world as they know it will end.  Cassie knows she comes from a long line of witches but her magic has always been dormant, so she has no idea how she can possibly pull this off. I loved Cassie’s journey as she tries to figure out how to unlock her powers, and the role her family plays in her journey, particularly her Aunt Dorcas, a gem of a character.

This was such a fun read. The writing is atmospheric and has just enough suspense with the curse and the threat of the vampires. It does have a tiny bit of gore, but even as someone squeamish, it didn’t bother me.  I loved how the story was so focused on this family of quirky witches and their bond of sisterhood.  Overall, The Late-Night Witches is a warm and humorous story about family, love, and self-discovery.

Robyn Maryke narrates the audiobook and does such a great job voicing this quirky cast of characters and capturing all of the elements of humor, suspense, and emotion that the story has to offer. It’s a charming performance!

🗓️What I’m looking forward to: I recently purchased a scanner and signed up for a libib account, so I’ve slowly been doing an inventory of all of the books I own. It has been a big project so I’m looking forward to finishing that up so that I only have to scan in new books as I purchase or receive them.

⛵️IF ALL ELSE SAILS by Emma St. Clair ⛵️

Pub Date - 8/5/25

Length: 11.3 hrs / Speed: 1.8x

I was immediately giddy when I realized this book is set in Kilmarnock, VA, about 30 minutes from my hometown. St. Clair describes the vibes of that area perfectly and it felt like being home. The story itself is a slow burn, enemies-to-lovers, closed door romance between Josie, a school nurse, and Wyatt, a hockey player on medical leave. The chemistry between Josie and Wyatt is fantastic, and I loved the added emotional depth that Wyatt is also there not just to recover from his injury but to sail the Intracoastal Waterway & spread his uncle’s ashes. It becomes an eye opening trip for them both and I just ate it up!  Andi Arndt & Patrick Zeller narrate and deliver a chsrming grumpy-sunshine performance. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

✈️ WINGING IT WITH YOU by Chip Pons ✈️

Pub Date - 6/10/25

Length: 11 hrs, 18 mins/ Speed: 1.75x

This is a spicy romcom about two men who decide to pose as a couple to compete in an adventure-style reality contest right after they meet in an airport & the real feelings they catch along the way.  This book was so cute! Theo gives off major golden retriever energy, while Asher is a man on a mission after being dumped at the airport. The contest itself was hilarious and also provided lots of lovely moments for Theo and Asher to be vulnerable with each other.  Narrators Lee Osorio and Michael Crouch were fantastic in capturing both the humor & the more emotional moments. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🎤 FOR THE RECORD by Emma Lord 🎤

Pub Date - 8/12/25

Length: 9 hrs, 55 mns / Speed: 1.8x

I love second chances and that this story was all about them for Mac & Sam in terms of their musical careers and their unresolved feelings for one another from when they were teens. I liked watching them reconnect & navigate new challenges but felt something was missing. I did enjoy the narration of Jesse Vilinsky & Andrew Elden though, which perfectly captured the tension and emotion. ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

❤️ Review - RED CARD ❤️

Author - Maren Moore

Pub Date - 8/12/25

Red Card is a rugby romance that follows Cillian Cairney, a British bad boy whose behavior has gotten him kicked off of his rugby team in London. The only team willing to take him now is a team at an Ivy League school in New Hampshire, but they don’t even try to hide the fact that they don’t like or trust him. Cillian has to prove himself, but has no idea that his fate might actually lie in the hands of the coach’s sassy, rugby-obsessed daughter, Rory. 

I absolutely devoured this book! I have a serious soft spot for bad boys who are trying to do better, so Cillian just had my whole heart from the moment I first met him on the page and learned about all he had been through and how he was trying to change. 

I also adored Rory right away and found her to be such a relatable character. Even though she’s in college, she’s always with her dad acting as an unofficial assistant coach and hanging out with the team. She’s just “one of the guys” and so her flirting skills are lacking. When she sees how much Cillian is struggling to fit in with the team, she offers to help pave the way for him if he’ll give her flirting lessons and help get her out of the friend zone. I loved the chemistry between Rory and Cillian, especially once those lessons started and they started to actually catch feelings for one another. 

The romance was fun, flirty, and spicy, and with Rory being the coach’s daughter, forbidden as well, and I loved every page of it.  What I also loved though was that the story also had a lot of emotional depth. Cillian is not only trying to secure this new position in the U.S., but he’s also processing grief and trying to care for his sister. He shows so much vulnerability it was impossible not to root for him. 

I read this one with my ears and eyes and highly recommend both formats. The audiobook is outstanding! Matt Sykes and Stella Hunter narrate, & I loved the contrast of the accents & how well their voices worked together.

🛸 Review - LOVE AT FIRST SIGHTING 🛸

Author - Mallory Marlowe

Pub Date - 8/12/25

This was one of my most anticipated summer romcoms and it far exceeded my expectations!

El is a social media influencer with a huge following who livestreams herself having an encounter with a UFO. While El’s followers are annoyed because she’s posting “offbrand” content, she catches the attention of Agent Carter Brody, who is a Man in Black and who had an encounter with a similar UFO when he was a child right before his dad, also a Man in Black, was killed. Carter hasn’t been able to look into his dad’s death, but now that he has been assigned to El’s case, this is his chance. After an awkward initial encounter, once El hears Carter’s story, she decides to work with him to get some answers.

Oh, how I loved these two characters! They’re both just so quirky and adorable on the surface, with the most hilarious banter between them, but they also both just have so much going on beneath the surface.  Carter’s backstory just broke my heart, and I really wanted him to get the answers he was looking for since this has obviously haunted him for most of his life. I also loved that he saw El as so much more than just the aesthetic of her social media page. He helped El to better see herself and to want more for herself than just followers, algorithms, and social media clout.  They were just such an amazing team in every way. 

I just loved everything about this book.  I was fully invested in the romance, the personal journeys of the characters, and in the UFO mystery, and ended up binging the book in a couple of sittings.

The audiobook is narrated by Elizabeth Lamont and Iggy Toma, and I had such a blast listening to this one.  Not only do they do a wonderful job bringing these characters to life and making Marlowe’s banter pop, but I love how well done the live stream scene and some of the other action scenes in the book are presented.  It was highly entertaining!

🎶 Review - IF NOT FOR MY BABY 🎶

Author - Kate Golden

Pub Date - 8/5/25

Even though Clementine dreams of a career in music, she has remained working as a waitress in her small town and taking care of her single mom who suffers from Fibromyalgia. All of that changes when her best friend calls her with a huge opportunity - spending eight weeks as a backing vocalist for Irish rockstar Halloran on his U.S. tour. Clementine is torn because she doesn’t want to leave her mom, but the money is life-changing, plus she would get to sing. What also ends up being life-changing is the connection she forms with Tom Halloran himself. 

I enjoyed the chemistry between Clementine and Tom. There’s a spark between them from the moment they first meet, and Clementine finds herself drawn to Tom because he’s so unexpected. He’s not at all the stereotypical rocker - he’s more introverted, preferring to hang out on the bus reading instead of partying. Clementine still keeps him at arm’s length though. She has seen her mom’s heart broken by men one too many times and is weary of suffering the same fate. 

I loved the tension between these two though and especially how it played out on stage when they sang together.  I also really liked the inclusion of song lyrics since the lyrics fit so well with each of their situations. 

I really liked the story from Clementine’s perspective, liked the writing style, and found it very bingeable but I think I would have loved it even more with Tom’s POV included. 

As I love to do, I read this book with my eyes and ears.  Ellie Gossage narrates most of the book, while Eric Nolan voices Tom Halloran. Both narrators did a great job bringing the cast of characters to life and making me feel like I really was on tour with a rock band. 1.7x was my preferred listening speed for the best immersive reading experience.

🩵Review - FOREVER NEVER 🩵

Author - Lucy Score

Pub Date - 3/4/21

Forever Never is a small town, grumpy-sunshine romance set on Mackinac Island.  There’s a hint of forbidden romance in that Remi should probably be off limits to Brick for so many reasons even though he’s attracted to her - she’s his brother’s former high school sweetheart, his boss’s daughter, and his ex-wife’s best friend.  Remi has had a crush on Brick forever though so she’s not going to make it easy for him. 

I really enjoyed this book! Brick and Remi had great chemistry and I was quickly invested in their very complicated relationship, both past and present. I also liked that this book had a bit of suspense to it.  Remi has returned to the island after years of living elsewhere and when she returns home, trouble follows her.  Brick works in law enforcement and is super protective. He senses that something is off even though Remi won’t tell anyone what is going on. I ate that storyline up!  There’s also plenty of fun, flirty banter and steamy scenes once Brick and Remi give in to their mutual attraction. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

💜 Review - PLAYBOOK 💜

Author - Rebecca Jenshak

Pub Date - 7/25/24

Playbook is the second book in the Holland Brothers series. This one works as a standalone and it’s a fake dating, grumpy-sunshine football romance. 

I loved the main characters, London and Brogan, and thought they had amazing chemistry. I thought the author having them meet because London is assigned Brogan’s former P.O. box and starts his receiving his fanmail (mostly panties) because Brogan forgot to forward his mail was so creative.

I loved the dynamic of their relationship as they become friends first and then came up with the fake dating arrangement.  It was clear how much they grew to care about one another, & they also had amazing banter, so it was just so easy to root for them as a couple.  This book also had a great found family dynamic with the Holland family treating Brogan like he is one of their own.

I enjoyed this book & look forward to continuing the series! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
