I'm so excited to start FLIRTING WITH FIFTY by Jan

I'm so excited to start FLIRTING WITH FIFTY by Jane Porter today (releasing tomorrow).⁠
.⁠
While I haven't read a ton of later-in-life romances, I definitely want to get to reading more of them and this one sounds so good! Plus, it'll be the second book I read set in Tanzania and I can't wait to see this setting again. And it's a slow burn, second chance romance. I'm in.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
A sexy and sparkling later-in-life contemporary romance about a woman who leaps out of her comfort zone and takes a chance on love by New York Times bestselling author Jane Porter.⁠
.⁠
Paige Newsom is finally at a place in her life where she's comfortable. She loves her job as a college professor in Southern California, lives close enough to her mother to visit her regularly, and has three daughters who are flourishing in their own careers. Paige has no plans to upend her life again after her divorce eight years ago, but she's about to embark on a new adventure: co-teaching a course that includes a three-week international field study.⁠
.⁠
Paige can think of a dozen reasons why she shouldn't go, one being a dazzling Australian biologist who will be teaching alongside her. Professor Jack King is charismatic, a world traveler, and more like Indiana Jones than Indiana Jones, all of which unsettles Paige, who prides herself on being immune to any man's charms. As the two co-professors lead the rigorous program together, first on campus, then in beautiful Tanzania, Paige's biggest challenge will be working closely with Jack while resisting the undeniable chemistry she feels when she's with him.⁠

Happy Sunday! So the other day I saw @sentrancedje

Happy Sunday! So the other day I saw @sentrancedjem rave about this new release and I was just in the mood to pick it up. I’m about 3/4 of the way through and although I’m enjoying it, I do have some thoughts. Maybe unpopular opinion. 🤦🏻‍♀️
.
.
First, I think if you liked old school Colleen Hoover you’ll probably enjoy this story. Writing is different but the angst and story is similar to those.
.
Second, I haven’t read this author before so I’m not sure if it’s the style of writing but this book has a ton of unnecessary every day life type of scenes. I think we could’ve gotten the same effect even cutting about half of what I’ve read so far.
.
But maybe that’s just me. I do like my stories a bit more fast paced.
.
Anyway, I’ll have my final thoughts on this one later this week on the blog.
.
.
How about you? Do you gravitate towards books that are slower and more descriptive or more fast paced story-driven books?

Another day, another #currentlyreading post! Yes,

Another day, another #currentlyreading post! Yes, I seem to be getting through these books faster than ever this week and I’m so happy about that! I just picked up the #audiobook for THE EMMA PROJECT by Sonali Dev this morning and while it’s the first I’m reading in the series, it’s a series I’ve been meaning to tackle for years. So I’m super excited to get into it. Even if out of order.
.
Do you often read books in the proper series order, do you look at that at all, or are you more of a rebel and just don’t care?
.
I’m a strict order reader, usually. But the occasional mood reading binge happens and here I am today.

Cup of coffee and my #currentread - Happy Release

Cup of coffee and my #currentread - Happy Release Day to Sarah Morgan for BEACH HOUSE SUMMER. Her books are always guaranteed to be on my #SummerTBR and I can't wait to dive into this one. And yes, I'm starting my Summer reading early!⁠
.⁠
Do you have any authors that you love to read in the Summer?⁠
.⁠
BLURB:⁠
.⁠
USA Today bestselling author Sarah Morgan returns with the ultimate beach read, as one woman forges the most unlikely friendship of all, and embarks on a summer of confronting her past in order to build the future she wants...⁠
.⁠
When Joanna Whitman's famous ex-husband dies in a car accident, she doesn't know what to feel. Their dysfunctional marriage held more painful secrets than she cares to remember. But when she discovers that the young woman with him in the crash is pregnant, Joanna feels compelled to act, knowing exactly how brutal the media spotlight will be on celebrity chef Cliff Whitman's ex-wife and his mysterious female friend.⁠
.⁠
Ashley Blake can't believe it when Joanna shows up in her hospital room and suggests they hide away at her beach house on a sleepy stretch of California coast. Joanna should be hating her, not helping her. But alone and pregnant, Ashley can't turn down Joanna's offer. Yet she knows that if Joanna ever found out the real reason Ashley was in that car, their tentative bond would shatter instantly.⁠
.⁠
Joanna's only goal for the summer is privacy, but her return causes major waves in the local community, especially for the man she left behind years ago. All Ashley wants is space to plan for her and her baby's future, and to avoid causing any trouble for Joanna. But as secrets spill out under the hot summer sun, this unlikely friendship is about to be put to the test.⁠

New reviews have gone up on the blog and the blog

New reviews have gone up on the blog and the blog newsletter should be back up and running again. At least I hope so. If you are not receiving your emails, contact me.⁠
.⁠
One of today's reviews is BOOK OF NIGHT by Holly Black. Here's a snippet. Find the full review on underthecoversbookblog.com⁠
.⁠
.⁠
The Book of Night had the vibe of Ninth House with the action and scheming and urban-type setting of Cresent City. Charlie is such a loveable character and I found her relationship with Vince to be poetic. The book was distinctly Holly Black and beautifully written but it’s also distinctly different from any of her other series. " ~ Leah, Under the Covers⁠

Thanks to Tor Books for this beautiful copy!⁠
