Although I receive most of my ARC titles from NetGalley, I also belong to another review site called BookSirens, which I often forget to look at. I found The Other Side of Silence by Dodie Bishop on BookSirens, and am so glad I did.

Kingscastle – Sophia Holloway
3/5 Stars Kingscastle by Sophia Holloway is a standalone romance novel, but I found it engaging and it wrapped up satisfactorily for me. I chose this novel off of NetGalley, and thought, by the description, that it might fit into the romantic suspense genre rather than romance. I feel that it wasn’t very suspenseful, butContinueContinue reading “Kingscastle – Sophia Holloway”

The Barrister and the Letter of Marque – Todd M. Johnson

My thanks to Linore Rose Burkard for sending me an ARC of her latest release, Miss Wetherham’s Wedding.

I think Miss Wetherham’s Wedding is setContinueContinue reading “Miss Wetherham’s Wedding – Linore Rose Burkard”
