The Wild Card

Title: The Wild Card

Series: Love Stories in Sheet Cake, Texas #3

AuthorEmma St. Clair

Publisher: Emma St. Clair

Genre: RomCom, Contemporary Romance

Source: Author Provided

My Review:

While The Wild Card could read as a standalone novel, I HIGHLY recommend reading The Buy-In, The Bluff, and The Pocket Pair first. I love this series, and it is one you will want to start at the beginning. I reread the entire series before starting this one, and I am glad I did. There were things I had forgotten.

Stacking the Shelves #190 Sunday Post #187 Sunday Salon #181

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? Mine was long. I am finally getting back into all my routines and things, plus I had several extra appointments this week, and we had several evenings with showings. Then, on Wednesday my mom was admitted to the hospital, she had 1300cc's of fluid drained off her lung on Thursday, which had compressed the lung. They are testing the fluid to see if it is from the tumors in her lungs, if so, they will put a port in so they can drain it periodically. This was her first stay in the hospital, and of course you get no rest in there. Thankfully she was able to go home Friday night. She is ready to be back on her own schedule. Today is my daughter's 23rd birthday, so she is here and we will be celebrating her and having some family time.

My review:

Curveball on the Dance Floor is the second book in the series. I have not read the first one yet, but I wish I had. While this can easily read as a standalone novel, I do feel like I missed a few details, like why Carmen (one of Chris's sisters) is in Germany.

Top Ten Tuesday-Cozy Atmospheric Reads

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Cozy/Atmospheric Reads.  For this topic, I am going with books that tend to be read in the fall, give off fall vibes, have a cozy drink, or romcoms because that is cozy and atmospheric to me right now. I don't want anything too heavy. I have mostly skipped to Christmas reading, but do still have a few fall themed books I want to read this year. Hopefully, this will be a new list, and not stuff I have already shared, LOL! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.
