Book Review: Happy Place by Emily Henry

Happy Place by Emily Henry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If I could have given the book 10 stars I would have. It was emotional, sexy, moving and so much more all wrapped up into one. And the thing I think I loved most about the story... the sex scenes were not crude and she didn't have to come up with 20 different ways to say what the male organ is called. She made you feel the sex scenes at a deep emotional level, not at a purely carnal level. I laughed, I cried, I was mad, I was happy, I was sad, and I fell in love. What a full day I've had. (I listened to a lot of it on a trip I made today.)

At long last...

I'll be honest, I never thought it would happen. I've written book one of a paranormal romance (there are supposed to be five books in the series), but when I started editing it I realized I didn't know how books two through five were going to go. So, I gave up and said to myself, "Self, I think we need to write our contemporary romance book. Let's see how that goes." So, lo and behold, Sometimes Love Isn't Enough was born. Holy cow, I just looked and I've been working on this book since March 2023! It's been a long process because of some things I've kept to myself, and not in my writing space. But I think it's time I come out and own who I am. Hello, my name is Tami and I have ADHD, depression, and anxiety. All the mental health issues I have, the neurodivergence, and my physical health issues make it hard for me to focus and I'm lucky if I get 100 words a day. But when I get those 100 words, it's a party. Sometimes my brain an...

Author Interview: Nicole Orr

Good morning/afternoon/evening to you all. Today we are going to meet a lovely person in my life, Nicole Orr. This woman is not only a writer, but a force to be reckoned with. Let's jump on in and get to know her a little better. Hey Nicole, what do you write? A while back, I got my feet wet in the publishing world by having more than 18 nonfiction children’s books released through the Purple Toad Publishing House, but alas, the topics, length, pictures and deadlines were all chosen for me. I’ve been a writer for several online blogs too, including pop culture and travel blogs. My true passion, however, is fiction. One of my favorite quotes of all time is Victor Hugo’s, “A writer is a world trapped inside a person.” I’ve been writing stories since I was in my early teens, but it really took off when I discovered the worldwide writing event National Novel Writing Month where you write a 50,000 word novel in the 30 days of November. While I have participated in that 18 times, I ...

Review: Finding Freida by Amanda Larkman

A cozy mystery like no other. The characters and what they’ve had to learn throughout the book was well thought out and the story was well written. Angie is distraught when she finds Mrs. B’s room all disheveled. When the police won’t help Angie turns to the one person she can remember has a connection to the missing woman. Penny isn’t happy to be dragged around and disrespected after what just happened with work. Will Angie alienate Penny and lose the only help she has while the clock keeps ticking after Frieda’s abduction?
