Romance Tropes – The Love Triangle

Top Ten Tuesday is on a six-week hiatus at the moment, and while I may still come up with some top ten posts for you during that time, I’m taking the opportunity today to do something a little different. If you’ve read some of my recent posts, you’ll know that the final book in the Serena Jones Mystery Series releases today (YAY!), and you’ll also know that it has been much anticipated by me (and countless other readers) because it will give us the answer to the big question: Which man will win Serena’s affection? Nate Butler or Tanner Calhoun?

Best of 2016 – Part 2

If you’ve read my Best of 2016 post, you’ll know I promised a post where I highlighted books according to various memorable features.  Well, this has turned out to be Part 1 of that list.  Which actually makes it Part 2 of my ‘Best of’ series.  Confused?  Don’t worry!  It’s not really that important.  Just read the post anyway.  🙂 It is worth mentioning that this list is compiled from books that I read in 2016, not necessarily just books that were published in 2016.  Clicking on the cover will take you that book’s Amazon page, and there is also
