If the Shoe Fits

If the Shoe Fits 


A Meant To Be Novel

by Julie Murphy


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


This was such a fun twist on the classic Cinderella story!


Cindy, our erstwhile Cinderella is home after completing design school and taking some time to find her spark again…  She lives with her stepmother, 2 stepsisters and her triplet half siblings in LA- full house!


When spaces open up last minute on the dating reality tv show, produced by her stepmother, Cindy jumps at the chance to go on and get some exposure for her footwear designs. She’s just there for her career and a chance to Wim the cash prize… until she meets the batchelor and its the nice, cute guy she sat with on her flight home from school!


Now they are trying to get to know each other, while he’s seeing all the other girls… and it looks like the odds may be stacked against Cindy and her Prince Charming in ever making it to the finals together!


Oh my! This book hooked me in from the start! Cindy’s representation of a plus-sized character was refreshing to read and added another level to this story. The best bast in this retelling is that they are all so loving and supportive! I simply adored this family dynamic.


This story made me smile so many times! It was joy to read this tale!



If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy is scheduled to be released August 3rd, 2021.

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...
