  • Crown of Crimson by Karina Halle

    Spoiler Warning: This review contains spoilers for The Crimson Crown and the River of Shadows series. I first read The Crimson Crown, the second book in Karina Halle’s River of Shadows series, while lounging on a yacht in the Whitsundays—a far cry from Hanna’s new home in the shadowy Finnish underworld. I know, it’s a

  • Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage

    After thoroughly enjoying Lyla Sage’s previous works, I eagerly picked up Lost and Lassoed, the third installment in the Rebel Blue Ranch series. While I didn’t love this one as much as Done and Dusted or Swift and Saddled, it still had plenty of cowboy charm and heartfelt moments to keep me turning the pages.

  • Loving the Legend by Kit Grey

    Loving the Legend by Kit Grey

    Some books stick with you, and for me, Loving the Legend by Kit Grey is one of them. I’ve read it twice now, and I still can’t stop thinking about it. It’s the kind of story you come back to when you want a romance that feels genuine and heartfelt. At its core, this is

  • Swift and Saddled by Lyla Sage

    After being swept off my feet by Done and Dusted, I eagerly saddled up for Lyla Sage’s next ride, Swift and Saddled. This installment in the Rebel Blue Ranch series is soft, flirty, and brimming with cowboy charm—perfect for fans of small-town romance. The story follows Ada Hart, a city-slicker interior designer with a guarded

    Done and Dusted by Lyla Sage

    A few months ago, I couldn’t scroll through my Bookstagram without seeing Done and Dusted by Lyla Sage pop up everywhere. After a few days home from work sick (armed with tea and tissues), I thought, what the heck, and dove in. And let me tell you—I devoured it in a hot minute… or in

  • A book published this year – Code Name Hélène – by Ariel Lawhon

    I find myself strangely enamoured with historical fiction right now. I like to think if I ever managed to write a book it would be historical fiction (though to be fair I am not that talented). Code Name Hélène, is the fictionalised story of Nancy Wake, who was an Asutralian expat living in France as

  • A Memoir: The Rural Diaries: Love, Livestock, and Big Life Lessons Down on Mischief Farm by Hilarie Burton Morgan

    I have a love affair with Hilarie Burton Morgan. She just doesn’t know about it. I developed a total girl crush on Hilarie when I was a teenager watching One Tree Hill, where she played Peyton Sawyer. Aside from the nearly being kidnapped, in a school shooting and all sorts of dramatic things that happened

  • A book featuring my Favourite Country: Russia. Six days in Leningrad, by Paullina Simons.

    Let me open with: I love Russian Literature. The cold, the melancholy. There is something about Russian stories; they speak to my soul. I’m not sure why, or how Russia has snuck into my psyche, as it’s not somewhere I have ever been. But I am planning to, and oh am I planning. Earlier in

  • A book adapted into a film/series: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

    I love this book. Love this book. And let me repeat, I love this book. It may not be the most well-written, but it has characters that you manage to fall in love with and a style that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I originally read it, and I ripped through it in a day. Then

  • A book I can read in a day: How I Became The Fittest Woman On Earth: My Story So Far by Tia-Clair Toomey.

    I signed up for Crossfit late last year when I realised I needed to expand my horizons. 2019 was a MASSIVE year. My hubby was posted to another state, to a city I knew no one and I had to figure out my new normal. The job part was simple, I was able to transfer
