Review of The Hitchhikers
Well, this was a suspenseful wild ride! Alice and Tom are doing a road trip in their new RV and befriend a couple of young hitchhikers in British Columbia. They travel peacefully for the first few days until Alice discovers their companions are wanted for murder, and then the mayhem begins. Simon and Jenny take them as hostages and make Alice drive the RV wherever they want to go since Tom is too injured following a fight with Simon. This was a fun story for me because I have

Review of An Academic Affair
I enjoyed this entertaining romance story. Sadie and Jonah have been in each other’s orbit for years as they pursued their degrees at various levels in academia. They definitely have not enjoyed a warm relationship since they have constantly competed with one another. Now there is a great teaching opportunity that they both want.

Review of Wreck
This is the follow-up to last year’s book by this author, Sandwich. I actually enjoyed this book more. I liked the characters better this time around, but that may be due to getting to know them better. Rocky’s dad is living with them, and he brought a lot to the story. Overall, it was fun to catch up with these characters and I would love to see what happens with them next.

Review of Not You Again
This was a fun time loop romance! Carly and Adam, and the rest of Julian, California, are caught in a very frustrating time loop! Initially, Carly and Adam can’t stand each other after an unfortunate series of first meetings, but they soon begin to realize that they need to work together to get out of the time loop. As they work together, their feelings toward each other change as they get a better understanding of each other. I was happy to see the personal growth of the two

Review of It's a Love Story
This might be my new favourite Annabel Monaghan book! I loved how the characters were depicted with strong, heartfelt, and real emotions. Both Dan and Jane were engaging characters with amazing chemistry. The writing is great and the plot moved at a good pace. Give this one a try if you’re looking for an interesting romance read.

Review of Funny You Should Ask
I really liked this book! Chani is struggling in her writing career but then gets a chance to interview movie heartthrob Gabe. They both need her article to give them a positive career boost. It is assumed that they had an intimate relationship over the interview weekend. This assumption follows Chani throughout her career. Ten years later she is asked to do a follow up article. What will happen between them? I found this book to be well written and the characters interesting
