The Things We Leave Unfinished

by Rebecca Yarros

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

This contemporary romance/ historical fiction hybrid had everything I wanted and more!

Recent divorcee, Georgia Stanton is not in the mood for love and happy endings… So when a hot shot author is brought in to complete her great-grandmother and famous author’s memoirs, Scarlett Stanton, she makes one caveat; no happily ever after. Its not what happened and she wants the truth, not another romance.

Noah Harrison knows what fans are expecting from the last , Scarlett Stanton book, a romantic HEA… if he can’t get Georigia to see things his way and trust him, it won’t only be his career that implodes.

As Noah works on completing the last manuscript, we see Scarlett’s romance unfold with RAF pilot Jameson Stanton as WWII kick into gear. Jameson and Scarlett have an instalove connection but sadly life doesn’t always provide a happy ending as in fiction.

Can Noah and Georgia learn form Scarlett and Jameson in order to hold onto their once in a lifetime connection?

Oh my! This book swept me away from the get go! I loved the back and forth story telling between current day and WWII setting. Such a fascinating juxtaposition! Sometimes it is difficult for an author to create a set of characters that you are rooting for and you get attached too, here I feel hard for both couples! At some points the two stories are very commented and at others it felt like I was reading two books, but throughout the whole book, I was all in for both couples and storylines.

This book was an emotional roller coaster in more ways than one. The stress and toll of the war, the complex relationships… in the end I shed a good amount of sad and happy tears. I loved everything about this book and could not recommend it more! This is a stellar romance!

The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros is scheduled to release February 23rd, 2021.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Entangled Publishing and NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The Art of Taxidermy

by Sharon Kernot I didn’t know what I was getting when I picked out this book. When I first opened this book and started to read, I was pleasantly surprised. The author, has written this novel in verse and the flow of the writing really goes with and helps tell the story. The Art of Taxidermy tells a gripping and emotional story about love of family and great loss. The themes are woven through the coming of age of young Lottie, along with her immigrant family in Australia after the second world war. I was taken in by this book from the first page and was made to feel deeply for Lottie and this family. Sharon Kernot has written a beautiful book and I can not highly recommend it enough. This is a must read. The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot is due to release August 23rd, 2019. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Text Publishing Company through NetGalley.

The Outlaw's Daughter

The Outlaw’s Daughter Haywire Bride Series #3 by Margaret Brownley ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 A year old stage robbery has brought Texas Ranger, Matt Taggert to the small town of Haywire. While investigating his lead he he discovers that his prime suspect died just days after the stage coach robbery and is the tow’s local hero… not only that, he has left behind a beautiful widow and 2 children. Ellie-May is no stranger to public scorn, as the daughter of an outlaw , she knows what the Rangers accusations against her deceased husband will do to her family and children. For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms! This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me! ...

Here to Stay

Here to Stay by Adriana Herrara ⭐⭐⭐ /5 Adrianna Herraara has a remarkable way of capturing the personality and spirit of her New Yorker characters… even when they aren’t in their native New York! The friendships created and the corresponding camaraderie are what stood out to me the most in this book. It was fun to watch these ex-pat New Yorkers come together in their new home and bond. As for the romance, I found it a bit forced. Julia is on a dating sabbatical and not looking for a man… Rocco is only in Dallas working fro the men trying to cut funding and close Julia’s charitable foundation that she works for. These two should be enemies, but they are friends… the tension between them is pretty high, but they both know they are on opposite sides… I found it unsatisfying… size they were workplace enemies, their friendship muddied the waters. I found it hard to get behind their romance. On another side, I really enjoyed the representation of the charitabl...
