The Gilded Rose by Joanna Shupe gives readers a romantic Beauty and the Beast retelling set against the opulence of Gilded Age New York. An addictive romance from an author I both admire and enjoy.
The Wrexford & Sloane historical mystery series has become a favorite. I quickly devoured Murder on Threadneedle Street by Andrea Penrose. A murder with ties to a decades-old event has the gang investigating as we get a look at daily life with the Weasels and Wrex’s half-sister.
Godswar by Chris Tulbane continues The Many Travails of John Smith. I was excited for a new book and delighted that Tantor Audio picked up the newest novel on audio with Joel Richards continuing the narration. He has become the voice of John and his motley crew of friends, allies, and enemies. What follows is another addictive tale with battles, humor, and bundles of joy!
Murder at Sunrise Lake by Christine Feehan is the first novel in the romantic suspense series Sunrise Lake. Set at the Sunrise Lake resort high in the Sierra Nevada mountains, we meet the owner, Stella. She loves the peace this small resort gives her, far away from her traumatic past. When the nightmares return, she knows a killer is on the loose, but can she stop him before it’s too late?
If you are a fan of titles such as A Man Called Ove, you will want to grab Kathleen Fox’s debut novel Evie Walters Takes the Wheel narrated by Janet Metzger. This story features a seventy-year-old woman’s journey after her husband’s death. I laughed, cried, and soaked up every moment of this heartwarming tale.
