It’s Monday!  What Are You Reading? #41

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week.  It’s a great post to organise yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment, and er… add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye’s Blog   and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

What Did I Read This Last Week?

I Could Write a Book by Karen M. Cox, Narrated by Emily Rahm

Contemporary Romance, Modern Retelling, Austenesque

This Emma is a lost woman and this Knightley doesn’t see what is right in front of him in an engaging friends to lovers.

Bitter Truth by CJ Carmichael

#2 Bitter Root Mysteries

Cozy Mystery

The story of three people in a small Montana town continues on as the town faces another death.  Big secrets come out.  Slow to get going, but so good.

Lessons in Cracking the Deadly Code by Charlie Cochrane

#12.7 Cambridge Fellows

Historical Cozy Mystery, M/M

Fun to see Jonty and Orlando back in action during an earlier time in their lives chasing down a murderer as well as a treasure hunt around St. Brides.

The Magnolia Inn by Carolyn Brown, narrated by Brittany Pressley

Women’s Fiction

Two grieving people find healing from their pasts when they fix up an old inn and enjoy a friends to lovers romance.

Rock Chick Reawakening by Kristen Ashley

#.5 Rock Chick

Contemporary Romance

I definitely should have gone with release order, but was still able to appreciate this heartfelt, healing romance for two people who beat the odds on their pasts.

Rush of Insanity by Eden Summers

Contemporary Erotic Romance

So, it was short and fast and very hot.  What it was not was engaging.  I couldn’t get into the heroine’s hang-ups and issues so her snark and non-communication just grated.  A second chance that didn’t wow me.

Beaches, Bungalows, and Burglaries by Tonya Kappes, Narrated by Johanna Parker

#1 Camper & Criminals

Cozy Mystery

I liked it and it was fun that it was set in an RV campground, but there were some issues for me with the heroine’s attitude that had to adjust before I could get behind her.
