Welcome to my Weekly Wrap Up. Some kind of cold or flu or something went through my house this past week. Nothing serious, but I canceled my volunteer activities and stayed home for the most part. I did go out for a lovely walk with my friend towards the end of the week. And Friday all of us were feeling a lot better and we went out for dinner to celebrate the end of my youngest’s exams.

Don’t forget to enter the giveaway of a signed copy of any of Darynda Jones’ books available now and get more information about the Kickstarter campaign to launch exclusive collector’s editions of the highly anticipated Beep & Osh Trilogy.

And now on to the reading part of the post. (Mobile users – tap on the image of the book cover. PC users – just hover the mouse over the cover.)

DONE AND DUSTED

I posted two new reviews and there are no new quickie reviews. This week’s books sum up my varied interests in romance novels perfectly.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A reclusive earl’s life is turned upside down when a stranger shows up on his doorstep with an astonishing proposal—and an inconvenient connection to espionage.

Read My Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐ With a colorful cast of characters and a cellar full of wine, anything can happen―from murder to a second chance at love.

Read My Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐ After 23 years, Cora's father's body suddenly turns up, bringing with it questions and danger. Cora has Phin and the Broussard team to help her.

Goodreads

⭐⭐⭐⭐ A perfectionist maid of honor and a carefree, surfer-bro best man team up to plan a wedding and end up finding a spark of their own.

Goodreads

⭐⭐⭐ A bladesmith blessed by the stars. A prince with a dangerous secret. A god bound in shadows.

FOR THIS COMING WEEK

Some more will inevitably be added as the week goes on.

QUOTES THAT CAUGHT MY EYE

From Earl Crush by Alexandra Vasti: And then Lydia made a very rash decision in a series of very rash decisions, the sum of which had landed her in Scotland, investigating a missing weapons thief with her fake husband. She lied.

From Buried Too Deep by Karen Rose: “Stone’s checking it out,” Phin said. “He’s got contacts.” Cora raised her brows. “What kind of contacts?” “Probably the kind we don’t ask about,” Val said. “Like Antoine’s computer searches. Just say please and thank you, and don’t ask the details. It’s like not asking what goes into sausage.”
