I love a good enemies-to-lovers story, and THE PILOT’S SECRET did not disappoint. In a bit of a twist on that trope, our hero, Meyer Cartell, does not actually consider Sophie Lane his enemy and has no idea why she dislikes him and has so Read more...
My favorite historical romances are those set during the frontier/wild west time period. This can cover a lot of years, but the cover image for WYOMING WILD immediately gave me that vibe. I’d not heard of the Read more...
The synopsis calls TOO WRONG TO BE RIGHTby Melonie Johnson a “slow-burn rom-com”, and that is an apt description. For me, it started out so slow that I wasn’t sure if I was Read more...

I’ve read a lot of Christmas-themed stories lately, and I'd wanted to read more from Sheila Roberts after loving an earlier book of hers, so I was excited to dive into A LITTLE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
I love an opposites-attract romance, and THE SOLDIER’S UNEXPECTED FAMILY by Tanya Agler fits that perfectly. Natalie is a kindergarten teacher and a bit of a free spirit, spontaneous and impulsive, living in the Read more...

My only regret in life is that I will
never be able to read every book
written before I die! I've loved
reading for as long as I can remember,
and come from a family of book lovers.
I have a blog that I started for my

(octoberwomanrobin.blogspot.com), and
I love scrolling my Goodreads feed to
see what others are reading. If only I
could get paid to read all day!
