Do you remember the girl in high school who was easy? We talked about her, we watched her, we ridiculed her, but we also envied her. She always had a date, was in demand, and seemed so free. She wasn’t afraid to give guys what they wanted, nor was she afraid to take what she…
Perfect Match is an unusual romantic comedy by Hailey North, in which two men and two women seek love in New Orleans. The unusual thing is that for the first third of the book the reader is kept in suspense about how they’ll pair off. I enjoyed that first third. The two men are brothers,…
You’ve heard the expression, “Oh, it was nothing!” Well, now it comes in book form. I do not get it. This book is the most nothing I have ever read. There is nothing to it. No story. No plot. No character development. Nothing. It’s a mere 50,000 words (half the size of a series romance),…

I don’t know what I would have named this book had I been its author, but I would not have named it Intrigue. This book is about the ups and downs of a courtship between your average nice girl and nice guy. They go dancing. They go to dinner. They go to a pool hall….
If you’ve seen or read any national news in the last year, you’ve probably heard of at least one incident where an African-American was injured or killed by white police officers, simply because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sadly, it happens all too frequently. Sandra Kitt centers her new book…
I know a book is good when I skip my usual nap during the morning commute to read it, especially after staying up half the night because I had to see where the story went next. This book is an about an Irish rock star who preaches peace and love and giving to charities around…
