Everything is Probably Fine - Harlequin Blog Tour

Everything is Probably Fine by Julia London

Lorna Lott is up for a promotion to Senior Vice President, that is until she makes a grave error in her email and is now sent to a thirty-day wellness program. She does not think she needs to go, she does not have any unresolved issues, does she? Well maybe a few, namely she has no friends, she has closed herself off to the world and she lives with all her past regrets. Maybe if she does this program, she can get her promotion and meet the requirements of her inheritance from her mother and she can then buy back her grandmothers house where she now lives as a renter. When Lorna befriends her handsome neighbour and his eight-year-old son, she has no idea how much they can help her move forward from her past.

Julia London is one of my favourite authors and an amazing writer so I was so excited to read the novel. It was fabulous. The characters and supporting characters were enjoyable and I especially loved the relationship between Lorna and Bean, the little boy. I also liked how we got to dive into Lorna’s issues along side of her and watch her face her past and plan her future. The novel had tough issues, lots of laughs and a great romance. My thanks to Harper Muse, Julia London and Netgalley for my advanced readers copy which I voluntarily read and reviewed. Easily a solid five star read.

Where Are You Now - Book Review

Where Are You Now by Jenny Hale

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ava St. John is sure she has died. She hears a voice and it tells her she has two options, find Lucas Phillips and live out her life, or pass peacefully. Surely she is in heaven, but is sad she can not see her father who passed before her. Ava wants to live, but how can she find Lucas, her best friend from childhood. When Ava awakes, she finds out a doctor named Lucas had looked after her. Is this her Lucas?

Ava goes back to where she grew up to stay with her mother while she recuperates. Ava is anxious that her promotion at work might be affected, but there is little she can do now. While she is healing, she makes it her mission to find Lucas. She even thinks she saw him on the street the other day. When she starts her therapy, guess who is running the clinic? Is it fate or just luck? Should she share what the voice told her? Ava can not figure out why she has to find Lucas, but when she does, her fate just might be revealed to her.

Jenny Hale brings us another heartwarming, tender story of healing, family, love and second chances. I adored the characters and the storyline so much that it was easy to get wrapped in the warmth of the book. My thanks to author Jenny Hale, Harpreth Road Publishing and Books Go Social for my advanced copy which I read and reviewed voluntarily. A solid five star read my friends.

The Cover Girl - Harlequin 2025 Summer Blog Tour

The Cover Girl by Amy Rossi

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

When Birdie Rhodes was only thirteen years old, she was discovered by modeling agent Harriet Goldman. She quickly entered the world of modeling hoping she would finally fit in. When Birdie goes on a shoot for a rock album cover, the rockstar takes notice and that’s when Birdie’s life changes. Soon she is on the road, madly in love and still trying to fit in. When life takes a drastic turn, Birdie’s career and personal life are on the line.

Decades pass and Birdie is quietly living her life. When she gets an invitation to attend a party celebrating Harriet’s life, she is at a crossroads. Can she face the woman who started her career, the one person who truly loved her after thirty years apart? Should she finally face the truth of what happened so long ago?

This novel by Amy Rossi took us deep into the tragic life of modeling at a young age. I found the book fascinating and reading Birdie’s story tugged at my heart. The story wound together seamlessly throughout as the book went back in time and then forward to present day. I enjoyed the book but kept wanting to dive deeper into Birdie’s feelings to know her better. She went through the book somewhat numb to everything around her. Seen but not heard. My thanks to Amy Rossi, Harlequin Trade Publishing and Netgalley for my advanced readers copy which I voluntarily read and reviewed. Grab a copy and step into the  complex world of modeling.

Author Bio:  Amy Rossi received her MFA from Louisiana State University, and she lives in North Carolina, by way of Massachusetts, with her partner and two dogs. The Cover Girl is her first novel.
