Review: Too Good to Be True
I loved Trish Perry’s debut novel, The Guy I’m Not Dating, and was thrilled when Too Good to be True released. It didn’t disappoint, even though the tone was a bit different. In Too Good to be True, Rennie Young, Kara’s best friend from the first book, is trying to move beyond her divorce. Only problem is she kept waiting …

Review: Reluctant Runaway
When I read the backcover copy for this book, I really wasn’t sure what to expect. I mean it was going to focus on Indian art from New Mexico. Quite a departure from the first book. However, from the first page I was sucked in to the mysteries that seemed to stack on top of each other. And best of …
