"Take It" by Francesca Penn (Book Review)

This one is the last of my new books, possibly for the year. I’m sad about that, but it is what it is. Take it is the first of the two part The Sinclairs series. The first one introduces Nick Sinclair, the Tech genius and one of a few VPs at his father, Andrew Sinclair’s firm. Nick isn’t as confident as his father, sister Deidre, or younger brother, Dex. He is tall and pale, and because of his…

"Gio" by Kenya Wright (Book Review)

Every time I open up a Kenya Wright novel, I can’t help but wonder where in the world she will take me next. The first few books, it was always somewhere in Florida. Whether it was Miami or Key West, it was going to be Florida. This time, it was different.Simone is a promising, up-and-coming singer-songwriter from the islands of South Carolina (her family is known as Gullah). She was hired to be…

"9-Inch Addiction" by Jamila Jasper (Book Review)

Hi everyone! I’m always on the lookout for black female authors who write the same genre as I do. I learn from them, and hope to achieve the same success as them pretty soon. I need that energy around me. This is an author whose books I haven’t read yet, but wanted to see what she was about. In browsing her titles, 9-Inch Addiction captured my attention (for obvious reasons). This was a book I’d…

Book Review for "Hawkeye, Goldfinches, & the Farm" by Olivia Gaines

Book #18 of Olivia Gaines’s Modern Mail Order Bride series was as great as I hoped it would be. There was a little more drama than what I was used to, but it was resolved fairly quickly. There were also some laughs and seeing characters from books I’d previously read was like seeing old friends. Kylie West was pregnant on a farm drowning in debt inherited from her grandfather. She was worried,…

"Loving the Wrong Man" by Kimolisa Mings

I just read Loving the Wrong Man by Kimolisa Mings for the second time. I’ve had the book for two years and it was the first time since then I wanted to give it a second look. It’s still a pretty good read. Though it’s a quick read, I took my time with it, as I did the first time I read it. I wanted to see if I still felt the same way. This is the tale of Amanda and Oliver Jones. They’ve come to…

Quarantine & Chill by Kenya Wright (Review)

It was March 2020 and a terrifying virus was sweeping the globe. Kamal, the owner a successful company Z.E.N., based in Manhattan, didn’t know if he should take the news seriously at first. When the death toll spiked in and around New York, he closed his offices and all of his employees were ordered to work from home. All meetings and orders would come from Kamal through Zoom. When Kamal got…

"Logan" by Kenya Wright

Over a year ago, I started reading a few novellas by my second favorite author, Kenya Wright. These books are from her Filthy Rich Alphas series. And so far, I’m in love. I’ve read Adrian, Maceo, and Wolf. All three feature super hot men going after beautiful black women, thriving in their Boss Girl ways. This one is no different. Logan is a man who grew up caring for his five sisters. After the…

Book Review for Husking for Nebraska by Olivia Gaines

This book right here. This book is more directly related to Lobsters, Bisques, and Berries than the previous book. Melody Willis’s cousin Rhapsody Willis (one of the cousins who showed up for Thanksgiving Dinner in Lobster’s, Bisques, & Berries) is a successful political campaign manager based in New York. As a favor called in by her Aunt Bethany via her favorite student, Mateo, Rhapsody is…

Book Review for "Down Home Cooking" by Olivia Gaines

I hope you take my suggestions to heart. I'm not sponsored by the authors. These opinions are 100% my true and honest thoughts.

These stories are connected indirectly to Lobsters, Bisques, and Berries as well as other books in the series. This one tells of the love story between Demeter Reynolds and Mateo Zingales. Demeter was a food stylist in Hollywood who was ready to close on a cute bungalow in LA to start…

Book Review for "Redemption" by Kenya Wright

She chose violence! When I opened the cover of Kenya Wright’s HUGE 8×11.5, 441 pg. novel “Redemption”, I didn’t know what I was in for! The book starts with Ebony Day, a mother of 3 (Kiara – 13, Jalen – 10, and Poppy – 8) dragging out decorations for Christmas. She was excited to get started when she walked into the living room to see her babies huddled in a corner. When she asked them what was…

Book Review for "Maple Sundaes & Cider Donuts" by Olivia Gaines

I just finished Maple Sundaes & Cider Donuts by Olivia Gaines, and it was a bit of a doozy. Leta Feldman, Esquire, an Insurance Attorney and Forensic Insurance Adjuster for Feldman and Associates was tired of the hustle and bustle of the business life she lived in Atlanta, Georgia. She was also sick as hell of spoiled narcissist Claudia, her friend since Fourth Grade. She needed a change, and it…

Book Review for Wyoming Nights by Olivia Gaines

This is my very second book review on this blog. I used to do these on YouTube, but those don’t seem to get much traction, so I thought I’d post it here… for even less traction. Just kidding, I am hoping to get more eyes on this site.Anyway, I just read Olivia Gaines’ Wyoming Nights, and absolutely loved it. In this book, Darlene lost her entire family in one night. The book starts with the…

My GoodReads Review for "Shadow Walker" by Victoria Shaw

Shadow Walker by Victoria ShawMy rating: 5 of 5 starsShadow Walker, does not read like a debut novel. Shadow Walker reads like a thrilling, compelling fantasy novel from a seasoned author who has been writing for 30 or 40 years. From the prologue to the very last chapter, you are on the edge of your seat, waiting to see what will happen next. When Leonardo wonders what he is, you are also…
