Five-Star Reads for July 2024
Note: Reviews are listed alphabetically by author’s last name. For the Night Cara Dee (The Game #15) Penelope has always been the outlier within the Mclean House founders as a woman, which only made me more excited to learn more about her and see her find her own happily ever after. We’ve had glimpses of…

Book Review: Something Wicked (Black & Blue #3) by Lily Morton
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Black and Blue series: The Mysterious and Amazing Blue Billings (#1) | The Quiet House (#2) First of all, this book is not a stand-alone. You’ll get the most enjoyment if you are already relatively familiar with Blue, Levi, and their friends and with Blue’s abilities, along with…

Book Review: Heart2Heart Vol. 6 (multiple authors)
I was honored to be asked to review an advanced digital copy of the 2022 Heart2Heart collection, featuring many of my favorite authors. Since I’m reading this charity anthology for free, I’ve made a separate donation to a local LGBTQ+ organization. This book is only available for a limited time, so don’t wait to grab…

Book Review: The Sceptic (Arcana Books #1) by Lily Morton
The paranormal Black & Blue series by this same author was a departure from her contemporary/romantic comedy books, but I am more than pleased that she continues to dabble in the realm of crossing romance with dark fantasy and horror. I hesitate to call this particular book a paranormal romance because while Will and Jem…

Review: Beautifully Unexpected by Lily Morton
Morton excels at packing humor and emotion into a vibrant, immersive story that you can’t help but read straight through to the end. I knew that, as usual, her storytelling would leave me with the sort of book hangover that is difficult to shake. Mags and Laurie wormed their way into my heart much as…

Review: Finding Home Series by Lily Morton
This post contains reviews for the Finding Home series: Oz (#1) Milo (#2) Gideon (#3) Short Stack (follow-up stories) Oz (Book 1) Though it can stand alone as a book, I’m pleased that I had additional background regarding Silas’ family and family history when going into this book. Henry and Ivo make excellent appearances, and…

Review: Mixed Messages Series by Lily Morton
Rule Breaker (Book 1) As much as I enjoy reading romances that involve power dynamics, I have trouble crossing certain lines. An employer/employee relationship is one of them because the power balance there is not imbalanced through the desires of the participants but instead due to outside forces. However, this established history between Dylan and…

Review: The Quiet House (Black & Blue #2) by Lily Morton
A group of paranormal specialists and investigators are gathered at a supposedly haunted house. We’ve probably all read this story before. Except this version happens to include the mysterious and amazing Blue Billings, with boyfriend Levi and mentor Tom along for the ride. What results is decidedly more in the haunted and horrifying department than…

Review: The Summer of Us by Lily Morton
I keep doing this weird thing where I put off reading books by this author and then can’t figure out why because her writing is pretty freaking amazing. Once I got over the hurdle of acknowledging that I was missing backstory with these two characters (since this book is a spin-off from a previous series),…

Review: Close Proximity Series by Lily Morton
Best Man (Book 1) Lily Morton came as a highly recommended author from various sources. I recently read and enjoyed her newest novel, a paranormal romance, and was pointed here as an excellent intro to her contemporary romance. Zeb and Jesse immediately captured my heart with their distinctive personalities, which are large enough to be…

Review: The Mysterious and Amazing Blue Billings (Black & Blue #1) by Lily Morton
If I accidentally moved into a haunted house, I’d probably fall for the cute, local ghost tour guide too. Especially if his psychic gifts can help me un-haunt my house. The blue hair is probably just a bonus. Apparently, I identified a lot with Levi as a character because most of all of his decisions…
