But He’s My Roommate + Giveaway

I’m being forced to move in with my brother’s best friend.

After my life falls apart, the last person I want to face is my childhood crush. Much less live with him.

Unfortunately for me, my overprotective brother and his equally overprotective best friend show up on my doorstep and don’t take no for an answer.

I put up my best fight, but it’s no use. Soon enough, I’m boarding a plane with them and my newborn son.

All I want is to pick up the pieces of my life alone, but everywhere I turn it seems like Maverick Carter is there waiting to help.

He makes it difficult to keep my distance, but I know I have to. Because he deserves so much better than me.

But He’s My Roommate is a single mom, brother’s best friend romantic comedy for readers who like to feel all the emotions. It’s a closed-door romance, with all the sizzling chemistry you love, minus the explicit scenes. It’s the final book in the But He’s a Carter Brother series, a series based around four strong, protective brothers finding love.

My Review:

Well, now that I’ve read the first and last book in the ‘But He’s a Carter Brother’ series, I’m committed to reading books #2 and 3 asap. Because…these brothers!!!! Some of the best scenes in the book include their playful banter and brotherly concern. And the text messages! Bwahahaha! So. Much. Fun!

Each book works well as a standalone, so no worries if you are new to the series. Though all the brothers and their significant others take up some page time in this book, it’s still easy to follow along. There’s also a sweet epilogue for each couple at the end which was a neat way to finish off the series.

So…Maverick and Evie…swoon, thud, and swoon some more. You’ll definitely want to have your fainting couch handy for the duration of the read. This is a slow burn romance (brother’s best friend, friends to more tropes) that’s taut with emotional tension. Love the way their relationship evolves over time. A lovely mix of gentle heat and laugh out loud humour. And, oh my, when the kissing starts! Toe-curls all the way!

A lighthearted romantic comedy with characters who captured my heart

I listened to the audio edition of ‘But He’s My Roommate’ narrated by Kim Churchill and John William Maddux. Loved the dual narration and these performers teamed up to create a memorable listening experience. Highly recommend the audio book.

My thanks to Dreamscape Media and Net Galley for providing me with an audio copy of this book.

Defending the Child + Giveaway

Caught in a mountain blizzard…with a child to protect.

After Marielle Coleman’s foster son witnesses his mother’s murder, he becomes a killer’s next target. Escaping into a raging Montana snowstorm, Marielle and her little boy hide at a remote camp—and unexpectedly reunite with her ex-fiancé, Graham Flynn, an undercover DEA agent. Now Graham and Marielle must put aside their distrust to save the child from dangerous pursuers. But Graham’s still hiding secrets from Marielle…ones that could tie them all to a conspiracy that will end their lives.

My Review:

Brrrrrr…the perfect January read. Nothing like a stranded in a snowstorm scenario to amp up the suspense in a story! I crave this kind of read once the weather turns cold. There’s something so cozy about curling up with a ‘fighting against the elements’ page-turner while ignoring your own blizzard outside!

I was hooked right from the start. The action scenes are so vivid and intense and the plight of an innocent child adds to their desperation. Then there’s the second chance romance (eeeepp – one of my favourite tropes for a romantic suspense!) I really liked the way the author wove Marielle and Graham’s reconciliation into the intense drama of the suspense. Heightened emotions all around, including mine!

I enjoyed listening to the audio edition of ‘Defending the Child’, expertly narrated by Jessica Taige. She conveyed all the emotional nuances perfectly which made the story that much more compelling. Turned this one into a compulsive listen I finished it in a day.

My thanks to Harlequin Audio and Net Galley for providing me with an audio copy of this book.

Conversations with Kav – Bookish Ramblings + Giveaway

There have been a few topics on my mind over the last few weeks so I thought I’d make this first Conversational Sunday of the New Year a bit of a bibliophile randomness ramble. 🙂

Closed Door Romance

Harkening back to that lively conversation we had a couple of months ago, I wanted to share a really neat website and instagram account that features Closed Door Romances — most of them are indie published as well which is an extra bonus. Rachel has created a an incredible resource that’s too good not to share. Here’s the website: https://closeddoorromance.com

A few not-to-be-missed pages to checkout: Go to FAQ and click on the third question: What are the Physical Intimacy Levels? You’ll find an informative graphic that lays out in great detail, what kind of intimacy to expect in a Level One, Level Two or Level Three book. As the website creator, Rachel, says, there are different comfort levels even within the closed door community so she’s created this super helpful guide. Not only that, but then she went and created a database of authors where you can search not only by physical intimacy level preference but by language (as in swearing levels) as well.

Now go over to the Authors Database page. You can refine your search in all kinds of neat ways. First up; Swearing – from none up to moderate. Next Intimacy Level. And voila, you end up with a list of authors tailored to your reading tastes. But that’s not all! You can also modify your search by Availability (KU, audio etc.) as well as genre! And the list of authors includes Christian Fiction authors as well! How cool is that?!

She also has a wonderful instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/closeddoorromance/

She posts a lot of fantastic content – tons of book suggestions, sometimes by theme like fairy tale retellings. (eeeppp!) I always have my TBR notebook on hand when I’m browsing her instagram feed.

Christian Faith and Fiction

I started following this Christian Fiction blogger and Book Tuber last year and love her insightful reviews. She has also started rating books by their faith content which is really helpful. It’s a simple 1-3 system where 1 is low, perhaps mentions of going to church or that a character prayed and 3 is a fully fleshed out faith thread that is an intricate part of the story.

Lou is from Devon, England so it’s fun to see perspectives from someone not living in North America. Her reviews are concise and articulate, so if you are new to Book Tube and don’t fancy long, run-on videos, Christian Faith and Fiction is a great place to start.

Oops – we forgot to talk about our Reading Goals for the New Year!

I shared how I did on my 2024 Reading Goals but neglected to share my 2025 ones! All the hoopla around Reader’s Choice Week addled my brain, I guess. 🙂

This year I divided my goals into three categories and I’m trying to be more intentional about fulfilling them (as opposed to strictly reading on a whim and then seeing if a book fits into one of my goals.) I’m still leaving room for mood reading though, cause that’s just me.

Category One : Author Goals

Indie
Debut
New-to-Me
Read to Zero
Diverse

I’m hoping for 5 debut reads each quarter and I’d love to have half my books be indie published, though that might be a stretch. I’m targeting 5 authors to Read to Zero in different genres (Christian Fiction, Closed Door, Cozy Mystery etc.)

Category Two: Book Goals

Diverse settings
Diverse characters
Re-reads
Non-Fiction
Series

I’m not a huge non-fiction reader, but my goal is to read 5 NF books which should be doable since I belong to a non-fiction book club at church now and in a pinch I could include a devotional, right?!

For series I’m going to pick 5 in each genre and once I finish them, I’ll add another 5. I’m still in the process of choosing the series, but for this first quarter I’m looking at ones I’m close to finishing or new series that only have three or four books.

Social Media Goals:

Instagram
Social Media influenced reads
Blog Reading friends recommends
Blog upgrade
Good Reads (460)

I’m going to start tracking my sources for reading recommendations. So, when I’m on instagram and I see an enticing review, I’ll add the title to my wishlist with a notation about who recommended it etc. Ditto for this blog. I think it will be fun to see where my reading inspiration comes from!

GIVEAWAY OPPORTUNITY:

Join in the conversation. Leave a comment and I’ll enter you in.a draw for a $10 gift card for Baker Book House. Draw will be held and winner announced on Saturday January 25 2025.

Conversations with Kav – a place for us to chat about bookish topics if anyone is so inclined. Sometimes there will be giveaways, sometimes there won’t. It will just depend on the topic of the day. Hope to see you there! Otherwise my inner book nerd and I will carry on by ourselves. Bwahaha!

Dead Men Wag No Tails

Romance, treasure and danger collide in the charming coastal town of Twilight Cove. Don’t miss the newest instalment in USA Today bestselling author Sarah Fox’s enchanting Magical Menagerie mystery series!

“For a small seaside town, Twilight Cove sure has plenty of excitement . . .”

Georgie Johansen’s return to the coastal haven of Twilight Cove has been a dream come she gets to work with Auntie O at the animal sanctuary, has adopted two very adorable dogs who have very special abilities and even has a blossoming romance with the gorgeous farmhand Callum.

It’s August and the town is buzzing with anticipation for the annual Dead Eye Days pirate festival. The excitement reaches a fever pitch when long-term resident Jasper, a pirate fanatic, declares he is in possession of a treasure map!

However, the hunt for treasure soon becomes a hunt for a murderer when Jasper is found dead, and Georgie is once again compelled to put on her sleuthing hat. With her extraordinary dogs Flossie and Fancy beside her, and Euclid, the mysterious great-horned owl, keeping a watchful eye on them, can she uncover the killer and protect Twilight Cove? Or will her curiosity put a bounty on her own head?

My Review:

I was beside myself with bookish glee when I discovered the first book in the Magical Menagerie Mystery series back in April and I’m happy to report that this second book is as good as, if not better than the first. It’s definitely earned a place on my favourite cozy mysteries list.

Love the animal sanctuary setting and the air of magical mystery. No worries if you’re not a paranormal fan, the magical elements are light and whimsical. Similar to Sofie Kelly’s ‘Magical Cats’ series or Amanda Flower’s ‘Magical Bookshop’ series. So, very much set in the real world (well, as ‘real’ as a cozy mystery can get!) with gentle enchanting touches that completely charmed me.

Georgie has settled quite nicely into life at the animal sanctuary with Auntie O and a host of entertaining critters to keep her busy. (And one very intriguing farmhand!) She had no intention of putting her sleuthing talents to use ever again but when a local man is murdered during the hubbub of the town’s annual Pirate Festival, well, how can an amateur sleuth resist? Plus there’s buried treasure to be found!

Such a fun cozy mystery with engaging characters (including Flossie and Fancy, springer spaniels with unique gifts that come in handy during an investigation!) There are plenty of solid suspects to keep an armchair sleuth anxiously engaged right up to the big reveal. And Fox’s writing style is beautifully descriptive, creating a cozy ambience that makes for a delightful read.

I enjoyed listening to Hallie Bee Bard’s narration of this book. She has a pleasant, easy-to-listen-to kind of voice that matches the author’s storytelling style perfectly.

My thanks to Dreamscape Media and Net Galley for providing me with an audio copy of this book.

The Letter Tree + Giveaway

Random Retro Read

Romeo and Juliet meets You’ve Got Mail in 1920s New York when hidden letters change everything for two lost souls and the community around them.

Seven years ago, a letter left inside a tree brought Laura Bradshaw an anonymous friend who helped her navigate the tragic loss of her mother and gave her something to look forward to despite the overbearing hand of her father. Life would be far bleaker, if not for her beloved Letter Tree, her dear friend, and her secret trips to the Buffalo Zoo. But even these rays of light are threatened when her father decides to play matchmaker in order to further his business goals.

When Isaac Campbell learns that his letter friend is destined to court another, he balks at the suggestion and begs her to break her rule of namelessness and meet him. Her words have endeared her to him, he’s ready to fall at her knees and beg her to choose him—that is until he sees her face. The stranger he’s become so attached to is not a stranger . . . but the only daughter of his family’s sworn enemy.

Can the grown children of feuding parents bridge the chasm between them? Or is the divide too deep—and too wide?

My Review:

published in 2023

Old family secrets are at the heart of this Romeo and Juliet style romance (with a better ending!) I’ve heard other readers compare it to You’ve Got Mail as well and, though I’m not a fan of that movie (the bookstore dies, people!) I can see how that comparison can be made. Again, with a much happier ending. 🙂

As children, Isaac and Laura were the best of friends but a rivalry between their fathers tore them apart and they have both been living with the extreme fallout of a contentious feud ever since. Everyone has to pick sides, including servants and factory workers and the two haven’t set eyes on each other in years.

Until a tree is turned into a mail box of sorts and two lonely people begin exchanging letters using pseudonyms. A friendship is born (or should I say revived?) and just when I thought I knew what was going to happen next…plot twist!

Mystery and romance in 1920s New York. Loved the historical details, especially about the Buffalo zoo. Made for an immersive read and kept me engaged right to the end.

Uncovering the Truth + Giveaway

A trail of threats…and a K-9 to shield them

When Alyssa Anderson stumbles upon her ex-boyfriend’s illegal art theft operation, she goes on the run—and narrowly escapes a drive-by shooting. With the help of her high school sweetheart, Spencer Cavanaugh, and his service dog, Apollo, Alyssa tries to stay one step ahead of her ex who will do anything to find her. When hit men are sent to her hometown, Alyssa’s life is in more danger than ever before. Can Spencer and Apollo protect her from a crime ring more sinister than they ever imagined?

My Review:

‘Uncovering the Truth’ is a compelling page turner so clear your calendar before you sit down to read — you won’t be able to pull yourself away until you reach the end! The sense of urgency begins with the very first scene and the tension continues to mount as Alyssa and Spencer face uncertain danger.

Second chance romance between former star-crossed high school lovers who meet again in highly unusual circumstances. They’ve both grown up a lot. Life experiences have marked them – Spence after a stint in the military and Alyssa as the black sheep of her family who hasn’t made peace with her past. Their struggles are relatable and Post has created complex emotional layers from both their back stories. I was as invested in the romance as I was in the suspense.

Speaking of which, there’s lots of action and relentless danger and the author writes these scenes so well. I could picture every excruciating second. My ‘reading experience’ was enhanced by Romy Evans’ excellent narration since I listened to audio book. She delivered thoughtful interpretations of both character and plot. Loved the way she increased tension with her voice. An exceptional listening experience.

My thanks to Harlequin Audio and Net Galley for providing me with an audio copy of this book.

Christmas in the Castle Library + Giveaway

Ellie Sawyer has always felt more comfortable with books than people, which explains why she’s a PhD history student neck deep in research and trying to complete her doctoral dissertation in time to graduate. But the final books she needs are half a world away in the tiny European kingdom of Lethersby, and the only time she can access the secretive Royal Castle Library is during the Christmas holiday.

Ellie is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery that has eluded Lethersby scholars for more than 100 hundred years by figuring out what happened to their long-lost queen, a young royal who disappeared shortly after the outbreak of the First World War. With the help of Mark, a handsome castle staff member who shares her love of history, she might be able to unravel the queen’s story. But Mark is keeping his own secret from her, and what they discover together could change everything for Ellie—and the entire kingdom.

My Review:

Cover love immediately caught my attention and then all the bookish hype from trusted reader friends started and I knew I had to read ‘Christmas in the Castle Library’ BUT a postal strike and time commitments in the midst of the holidays sabotaged all my good intentions. I almost put this book aside for next Christmas but…well, I couldn’t resist the siren song of the book that everyone loved so I read it in January.

I mean, how could I not read a book with a castle library setting? Especially since it included romance! Eeeeppp!!! But, honestly, this story was so beyond my expectations I’m not sure I can even put what I’m feeling into words.

The ‘other world’ charm of a fictional European kingdom made such a lovely backdrop for Ellie’s coming of age story. I don’t quite know what else to call it — maybe coming into who she is in Jesus might be more accurate. What it means to be Chosen just because you are, not because of anything you do. Her faith journey makes for an exceptional story and brought me to the verge of tears a time or two. So, if you are looking for a Christian Fiction novel where faith is an intricately woven part of the plot — and an important one at that — then this is definitely the book for you!

She’s a scholar with a historical mystery to solve and only three weeks to do it in. Enter a captivating man who seems to be just as starstruck over books and libraries and research as she is and, as a native of Lethersby, he knows a lot of the secrets which he’s happy to share. With the exception of a very important one….

Their swoonalicious romance includes a Christmas Ball and some toe-curling kisses and the way they use books to communicate is so clever and sweet! Of course, there are obstacles to overcome not the least of which are Ellie’s struggles to realize her own worth. But through it all there’s such a wonderful sense of urgent hope that brought a bit of a fairy tale glow to the story .

And best news ever — there’s to be a sequel! A tantalizing sneak peek into the second book is included at the end of this one and now I’m hoping we won’t have to wait long for ‘Love in the Castle Library’s‘ release!

GIVEAWAY OPPORTUNITY:

This giveaway is for a gently read paperback copy and is available to any reader, any where — so, yay, another International Giveaway!

Grave Amish Secrets + Giveaway

Solving a cold case means facing down a murderer…

When her Amish grandfather’s body is found, State Police Detective Penny Moore learns he didn’t abandon his family fifty years ago—he was murdered. But the whole truth is still unknown, and after several vicious attacks on Penny and her partner, Detective Stewart Jones, it’s clear someone will kill to keep their secrets buried. Unearthing community scandals and delving into Penny’s traumatized family past bring them closer to each other—and a dangerous truth. But can they outwit a killer before they become the newest victims in this cold case?

My Review:

Phenomonal! A Love Inspired Suspense Stand Out as far as I’m concerned as it is quite different from their usual concentrated action novels. Don’t get me wrong, I love those high octane, flying bullets, exploding cars kind of stories too but I also enjoy variety in my romantic suspense and Patricia Johns delivers that here. Such a rich, compelling read!

Love the police procedural vibes from the very start. And the deep, abiding friendship between Penny and Stewart. They’ve been working together for three years and in that time have developed such a tender connection. Totally platonic. Neither has ever considered anything romantic…until midway into this story. (happy sigh!) If you enjoy the friends to more romantic trope this one is stunning!

As is everything else about ‘Grave Amish Secrets.‘ Solid inspirational threads; interesting insights into the Amish community; stupendous personal growth in the main characters; an intriguing cold case. And Johns delivers it all with thoughtful consideration and impeccable pacing. A thoroughly captivating romantic suspense.

I enjoyed listening the audio edition of this book narrated by Liz Fodor who did an amazing job with these characters – especially Penny’s Amish mammi! Such a pleasure to spend my ‘reading’ time listening to this wonderful story.

My thanks to Harlequin Audio and Net Galley for providing me with an audio copy of this book.

Reader’s Choice Week Winter 2025 Winners

Thanks everyone for starting the New Year off right! There’s nothing better than sharing the anticipatory delight of New Releases with fellow readers. So many books, so little time, and that’s okay ’cause we’ll never get bored, right? And now it’s time for…

BOOK NERDY STATS (ha, I bet you thought I’d start listing the winners.) Before we get to all that fun stuff, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the popular picks of the week — as far as genre days went anyway. Here they are:

popular pick – historical

POPULAR PICK – CONTEMPORARY

POPULAR PICK – SUSPENSE

POPULAR PICK – AMISH

And now it’s time to move into the part of this post you will be most interested in (and I thank you for indulging in my bibliophile neediness!)

READER’S CHOICE WEEK – WINTER 2025 EDITION – WINNERS!

GOAL REVIEWS – WON BY ECLITTON

HISTORICAL – WON BY JOLENE

CONTEMPORARY – WON BY JACKIE

SUSPENSE – WON BY CONNIE S.

AMISH – WON BY SANDY AVERY

GENERAL – WON BY DIANE F.

But wait, it’s not over yet. The Vanity category has become a blog tradition. It’s where a book is actually judged by its cover and I choose my favourite cover art per genre and then draw from a pool of readers who requested that title. Here are COVER LOVE winners!

HISTORICAL COVER LOVE

WON BY KATHLEEN

I love all things Irish so this cover calls to me from the rolling hills to all the shades of green and, of course, the red hair (a bit cliche, but still.)

CONTEMPORARY COVER LOVE

WON BY SYLVIA MILLER

Eye-catching with all those pops of colour and I love the whimsical vibe. Very different from any other cover out there so it really stands out. Plus – light house! How can I resist?!

SUSPENSE COVER LOVE

WON BY CINDY DAVIS

I might have been drawn to this cover due to all the news coverage of the L.A. fires right now but I also appreciate that it’s the fire marshal heroine heading into danger. I think the cover captures the tension and desperation that is undoubtedly part of the story.

AMISH COVER LOVE

WON BY KAY GARRETT

Definitely attracted to the cozy mystery vibes depicted on this cover. And I love Fannie’s wide-eyed shock. The magnifying glass is a nice Sherlockonian touch. This just looks fun and makes me want to dive right into the story.

WAIT! Don’t go away ’cause we’re not through yet. We have another Reader’s Choice tradition of picking a random number which becomes a ‘just because giveaway’ on the genre specific days. If that doesn’t make sense, all you need to know is that it means more book giveaways. Woohoo! This time the number is 42.

That’s another RC wrap up. I’ll send winners an email stating their book win, publication date and requesting contact info so that I’ll have everything ready for release day. Then I’ll email you once again once the book has been ordered. Oh — and if you didn’t include your email in your comment it’s up to you to contact me.
