Chess Not Checkers

Title: Chess Not Checkers

Series: RomCom University #1

Author: Annah Conwell

Narrators: Cat Protano and Keval Shah

Source: Hoopla

My Review:

I am not the target audience for this book. It is a young adult novel, which I did not realize before starting it. That is on me. However, I have loved everything I have read by Annah Conwell, so I was curious.

Harbor Pointe

Title: Harbor Pointe

Series: Hope Harbor #12

Author: Irene Hannon

Source: Hoopla/Library

My Review:

I started listening to this book on Hoopla, but I was not enjoying the narrator's narration, which is odd because I typically like books read by Thérèse Plummer. It may have been the multiple points of view shared that contributed to my dissatisfaction with the narration.

Series: Trinket Sisters #2

Author: Kristi Ann Hunter

My Review:

Amy is a new believer, and her sister, Emma, has given her a list of things she now "must" do. It is overwhelming, and Amy is determined to figure it all out on her own; she doesn't need someone else telling her what to do.

Author: Angela Ruth Strong

My Review:

I had the honor of meeting Angela Ruth Strong at a reader event in November of 2024. At that time, this book was in progress, and Angela was telling me a little bit about it. I was excited about the uniqueness of the storyline. Claire Holloway Is Winging It did not disappoint.

Series: Boyfriend in the Bargain #3

Author: Jordan Millsaps

My Review:

Poor Alex is the only one of his siblings without a family. He is so lonely that when a couple of his friends suggest he let their friend Nora use his kitchen for a cooking show and have him be her student, he agrees without much thought. Her cooking is incredible, and it will be a bonus to have something to occupy his time.

The Parenting Pact

Title: The Parenting Pact

Series: Boyfriend in the Bargain #2

Author: Jordan Millsaps

Source: Kindle Unlimited

My Review:

While this is the second in the series it is not imperative to read the first book in the series first. However, I will always suggest that you do 😉. The series is linked through three siblings, so the books are interrelated.

The Backpack Bride

Title: The Backpack Bride

Series: Give a Bookish Girl a Biker #1

Author: Dulcie Dameron

Source: Own

My Review:

The Backpack Bride is the first book in the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker series. The series has multiple authors, so the books will be loosely connected and easy to read as stand-alone novels. This novel is a spinoff from Dulcie's Switch and Score book.

Lucky Left Wing

Title: Lucky Left Wing

Series: Dating a Denver Dragon #6

Author: M. J. Padgett

Source: Kindle Unlimited

My Review:

Lucky Left Wing is the sixth and final book in the multiauthor series, Dating a Denver Dragon. It can be read as a standalone novel. However, it is fun to see all the Denver Dragon characters, especially in the epilogue, ten years later.

Material Witness

Title: Material Witness

Series: Shipshewana Amish Mystery #3

Author: Vannetta Chapman

Source: Kindle Unlimited

My Review:

I think I would have enjoyed this one more if I had read it closer to the first two books. It has been four-ish years since I read the first two in the series. Plus, my reading tastes have changed. While Material Witness can read as a standalone novel, I recommend reading the series in order.

Insta Family & Insta Wedding

Title: Insta Family 

Author: Jen Atkinson

Series: Insta Series #4

Source: Kindle Unlimited

My Review:

{Insta} Family

The Insta series is one that is best read in order. It should also be read before The Bailey Brother's series, as that is a spin-off series to this one. However, ALL books in both series should be read 😁.

My Review:

This is a great romance story. Not that everything was perfect, but I loved the build up for Haley and Levi. While I have seen some hyper critical reviews, this one checked the boxes for me.
