Review: Home to Whiskey Creek (Whiskey Creek #4) – Brenda Novak

Review: Home to Whiskey Creek (Whiskey Creek #4) – Brenda Novak

*I received a free ARC of Home to Whiskey Creek from Harelquin MIRA via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Home to Whiskey Creek deals with a heavier subject matter than the prior books in the series, and they weren’t all light and fluffy either! Adelaide can’t forget the graduation party that destroyed her faith in guys, and changed her life forever. Even by staying away from Whiskey Creek for thirteen years, she is weary being back – with good reason. Noah is out mountain biking when he hears a shout for help from the old mine. If there’s one place he wants to stay far away from, it’s the mine, where his brother died thirteen years ago in […]

Review: Only For You (Unforgettable You #1) – Beverley Kendall

Review: Only For You (Unforgettable You #1) – Beverley Kendall

*I received a free ARC of Only For You from Season Publishing via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Only For You is a typical romance, with complications that don’t really have anything to do with the main characters. Olivia is a beautiful young woman, used to having boys chasing after her – all the boys apart from the one she wants. Zach has something against Olivia, but what, she has no idea, as they have never really spoken to each other. On the first day of college, Olivia is in French class, chatting with her best friend April when none other than Zach strolls into class. Avoidance really isn’t an option, as they both see each other at […]
