November 2025 Book #1

There is a movie adaptation of this book, it is not bad but I highly recommend to read the book first. This is a slow pace character driven story. The book August character, is so different of the the movie one, the actor is good but not same. In the book you will understand better that great twist at the end😱Maybe there was a sensation that the story was dragged out after the half part but then…the twist⬇️

October 2025 Book #6

First book in a series. I really liked this story. It has obviously the murder, the mystery surrounding this murder, family drama, romance, secrets and our main character who is untraditional in his methods to investigate. It was a fast pace. Trying to find the hardcover editions in secondhand. I found the first 3 books 3.8/4⭐️

Septiembre 2025 Book #7

One of those books that has been in my shelf for ever🙄I took advantage that audiobooks was free. I bought some of this author books long time ago in BookOutlet when they shipped to PR, they don‘t anymore😭but I didn‘t realize they are Christian fiction which is not at all my thing. But this one surprise me. First book I read by this author. No strong religious content and protagonist is trying to continue her life⬇️

Gissy (Cont) a “scandal”, well in that time. I liked how she overcame the vicissitudes and continue her life. Even the romance was different due to this type of scandal at that time. Book was recommended by a YouTuber from Spain who doesn‘t have her channel anymore☹️I read since it is set in the regency time so I like the cover. . 3.8⭐️

Another reflection of 2025 - I learned I enjoy historical mystery cozies. The Charlotte Holmes series is a hit and miss for me. I like the heists when everyone is in one place, but the last book, till Thomas publishes more, had the players all over the place. It exhausted me as much as Lord Ashcroft when he stays up all night. Disregard my negativity, I cannot wait for the next one. #SeriesLove2026 @Susanita @TheEllieMo

TheEllieMo Sorry to hear this wasn‘t as good as you‘d hoped, but glad it hasn‘t put you off the series! 1d

2025 Book #1

Fun, heartfelt western romance in the classic style of Beverly Jenkins. As always, she creates a passionate romance set against a rich small town cast of characters with lots of interconnection between books. Enjoyed.
