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.

This psychological thriller by Emma Cook is a page turner. The main and supporting characters are so well written you can feel their emotions come off the pages of the book.

The Lost and Found Girl - Summer 2022 Harlequin Beach Reads Blog Tour

The Lost and Found Girl by Maisey Yates

Four sisters and one devastating secret.

Ruby Mckee is the town mascot and miracle baby after being abandoned on a bridge in the small town of Pear Blossom. Now that Ruby is back home years later, the town still calls her a miracle. Ruby has that affect on people though with her sunny disposition and her ability to always see the good in people. She has never questioned why she was abandoned, but when she takes a job as an archivist at the local museum, secrets start unfolding. Ruby’s sisters Dahlia, Lydia and Marianne all have their own lives and their own struggles, but when Ruby’s past starts coming to light, how will that affect the rest of her family?

What started as a simple coming home story quickly turned into a mystery of a close-knit family. I enjoyed how diverse each sisters character was and how the characters all interacted with each other. Each character had a side story along with the story of Ruby coming home and as the story evolved, so did the mystery. It was fun to read something a little different from author Maisey Yates and I thought she did an excellent job of bringing us this story. Thank you to Harlequin Publishing for my advanced readers copy which I enjoyed and voluntarily reviewed. A great book to curl up with this summer.

Maisey Yates is a New York Times bestselling author of over one hundred romance novels. Whether she's writing strong, hard working cowboys, dissolute princes or multigenerational family stories, she loves getting lost in fictional worlds.

The Binding Room - Harlequin 2022 Mystery Thriller Blog Tour

The Binding Room by Nadine Matheson

Detective Anjelica Henley has a new case on her hands. This one is a murder of a priest in town which seems pretty routine until she discovers another body in the church. Except, this man is still alive, but barely. With her team, Anjelica must try and solve this case before time runs out and she becomes the next victim.

This novel by Nadine Matheson grips the reader into the story in the first few pages. It is a fast paced, race against the clock, psychological thriller which was hard to put down. I enjoy the character of Anjelica as she is complex, driven and yet has a gentle side. The supporting characters are well written which adds another dimension to the story. I was so excited to see a second book in the series, and if you have not read The Jigsaw Man, I highly recommend you do.  I rated this at three stars only because I enjoyed the first book in the series more. Harlequin Publishing so graciously gifted me an advanced copy of the book which I read and voluntarily reviewed. Get ready for a great adventure with this book friends.

Soon Yardley finds herself planning the wedding along side of Mr. Hot and his sweet sister. Can Yardley stay in the friend zone until after the wedding?

This is such a sweet romance by Lori Foster. Yardley is such a unique character will all her quirks and charms. I loved her relationship with Mimi and how the book also includes Mimi’s story on the side. I also enjoyed Yardley’s exchanges with the town council and how she gains a new friend in the process. The writing, the setting and the characters are all fabulous and I loved the book. As Harlequin Publishing graciously gifted me this book, I voluntarily wrote this review. Grab a tea friends and come visit Cemetery!

Sweet Home Alaska - Harlequin Summer 2022 Romance Tour

Sweet Home Alaska by Jennifer Snow

Skylar Beaumont is coming home. Her plans never included coming back to port Serenity after she left years ago with a shattered heart. Now she is returning to head up a crew in the local coast guard. Not only will she be working with her father, but she must also face the one man who broke her heart. Will Skylar be able to come to terms with her past or will she run again?

Dex Wakefield is shocked to see Skylar back in town. She left years ago after he broke her heart and he never thought he would see her again. Skylar deserves to know the truth, but will he work up the courage to face the past?

What a great start to a new series from Jennifer Snow. We have the beautiful scenery of Alaska along with two families whose grudges are still smoldering. I did enjoy the complexity of the two main characters and their family dynamics. I would have liked to see more of a resistance between Skylar and Dex and their relationship instead of how quickly they resumed their relationship without facing the past. The story as a whole was well written, and the hint of mystery kept me entertained. I am looking forward to the next book in the series to follow up with the Beaumonts and Wakefields. For my honest opinion, Harlequin Publishing kindly gifted me an advanced readers copy. A sweet summer romance.

Jennifer Snow is a USA Today bestselling author and screenwriter of contemporary romance and thrillers. Her novels have won awards and received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly. Mistletoe & Molly, a romcom adapted from her novella, aired on UPTV and Super Channel, and she has four new films airing in 2022. A Canadian living in Torrevieja, Spain, with her husband and son, she loves to travel and spend time near the ocean. More information can be found at jennifersnowauthor.com

A Proposal They Can't Refuse - Harlequin Summer 2022 Rom Com Tour

A Proposal They Can't Refuse by Natalie Cana

Kamilah Vega is frustrated trying to convince her family that their Puerto Rican restaurant needs some serious updating. They have had the same menu and décor since the restaurant opened. They are barely making ends meet and Kamilah is certain that if she can get their restaurant on the Fall Foodie Tour, things will turn around.

Liam Kane is working nonstop to keep his family distillery going. All there is left is him and his grandfather to keep the business open. While Liam thinks they need more staff and some updates, his grandfather is putting his foot down that they stay family owned and operated. Liam has been waiting a decade to enter their spirits in a national competition, and nothing will stop him.

When an incident at the old age home that Kamilah’s and Liam’s grandfathers live in bring the two friend amies face to face, they soon realize they are being played by their grandfather’s. The old men have an ultimatum for Kamilah and Liam that they can not refuse if they want to keep their family businesses open. Can Kamilah and Liam band together for the good of their families or will it tear them all to pieces?

What a breath of fresh air this book by Natalie Cana is. The characters were so well written. I loved Kamilah and Liam’s characters, but the two grandfathers were a hilarious addition to the story. Their antics kept me giggling throughout the book. Kamilah’s family also had characters with traditional family values which added great depth to the story. Both families blended together seamlessly throughout the pages of the book, and I enjoyed every page. My thanks to Natalie Cana and Harlequin Publishing for this lovely book. My review is voluntary. A great fun summer read my friends!

Natalie Caña writes contemporary romances that allow her to incorporate her witty sense of humor and her love for her culture (Puertominican whoop whoop!) for heroines and heroes like her. A PROPOSAL THEY CAN'T REFUSE is her debut novel.
