Review ~~ Moody by Penelope Ward

Rating: Title: Moody Author: Penelope Ward Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Release Date: August 22, 2022 Louisa 4.5 Blush Review I have always said that Penelope Ward is an author I will forever read, and this book is one of the reasons I keep coming back to Penelope’s books. Dax Moody is one of those characters that you will forever remember.  He’s a good guy, but he just doesn’t know it.  He’s been put in charge of his late wife’s son and has no idea how to be a Dad.  Growing up, he didn’t have a great role model.  But what...

#Review ~~ You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle

Rating: You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle LOUISA’S 4.5 BLUSH REVIEW   I love finding a new author and an original storyline.  These two characters, Naomi and Nicholas are engaged to be married but the spark just isn’t there anymore.  And neither wants to be the one to pull the trigger to end the engagement…bring on the silliness! This book had me laughing out loud at the antics and banter between these two.  One minute they wanted to strangle each other and the next they almost couldn’t stop laughing at each other’s tricks to annoy the other! Their antics...

#AudibleReview ~~ Diary of a Bad Boy by @AuthorMegQuinn

Rating: Diary of a Bad Boy by Meghan Quinn Narrated by: John Hartley & Lauren Ezzo   Louisa’s 4 Blush Audible Review I am a HUGE Meghan Quinn fan and I just adored this book.  There’s an age gap, somewhat forbidden vibe, bad boy/good girl going on here so how could I not like it? I enjoyed the book (review) and it still holds true, every word, for the audible. The narrators are given a challenge because Roark is Irish and a woman speaking as a man in an Irish accent can be challenging and at times I felt that...

#FiveBlushReview #BestOf2019 ~~ Unspoken Words by @sharijryan

Rating: Release Date: October 16, 2019 Cover Design: MadHat Designs   Louisa’s 5 Blush Review I am not sure I will ever do this book the justice it deserves in this review. First things – If you haven’t read Last Words by Shari J. Ryan – go get it and read it and then IMMEDIATELY get this book and start to read. How beautifully and eloquently Shari J. Ryan gives us Charlie’s story is more than I could have ever asked.  This subject matter is hard to find the beauty but Shari J. Ryan did exactly just that.  The heartache...

#Review #ItsLive ~~ Wicked Knight (Wicked Horse Vegas, Book #5) by @BennettBooks

Wicked Knight (Wicked Horse Vegas, Book #5)Sawyer BennettRelease Date: January 1, 2019   NICOLE’S 4.5 BLUSH REVIEW I’m always a little sad when a series comes to an end. Like, how am I supposed to just shut off my investment into characters and storylines that I’ve really enjoyed? So, while I was excited to get Wicked Knight in my hot little hands, I wasn’t in any hurry to read it. I didn’t want the series to end!!  Wicked Knight has all of the best things in a Sawyer Bennett book. The main characters have their own demons and problems to...

#BlogTour~~The Other Blue Sky by Shari J. Ryan #5BlushAlert

Rating: Release Date: October 24, 2018 Cover Design: MadHat Books   Synopsis   Very few people can say they were born inside a concentration camp during the Holocaust. Disease, starvation, and much worse, prevented most prisoners from surviving. For infants, it was nearly impossible. I became an anomaly. I shouldn’t be alive. As a child, I didn’t know my life was different from that of others. I had nothing to compare it to, and I had no insight about the day I was born … until the moment I overheard the truth. In a split second, I became a stranger...
