This academic enemies to lovers romance was so much fun! It‘s a great concept where Rosie writes romance, Aiden writes literary fiction, and with all their bickering in their MFA class, their professor forces them to combine genres and write together. Through the characters they write, they begin to open up to each other. It‘s super spicy, but not until the second half. I had some complaints about the final conflict, but overall I loved it!

BethM Ooohhh this sounds lovely! 2w

Another good book from the #AuldLangSpine list I got from @Jerdencon this year. I always like stories about women making their way against the grain, which is what happens in this story of life for a young widow after World War II. She gets a job working in radio, and it deals with some of the issues of the time period that I hadn‘t read about in historical fiction before.

A woman and her baby were found killed in a burned house in 1843 and almost immediately her SIL was charged with the murders despite a complete lack of physical evidence. This book tells the story of her trials, loaded with misogyny. It‘s not quite as good as the most excellent narrative nonfiction, but it‘s interesting and the audio is well done.

An over the top premise with over the top characters. There were good bits but it was all just a bit too much. Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for an ARC. The characters acted in such thoughtless, rude, disrespectful, and downright mean ways at times that I just had a hard time cheering for them.

This was a fast read - a novella really - about a woman who is a second wife, and her obsession with her husband‘s former wife. She is also step-mother to his two older children. The book rips along - the husband is a bit of a blow hard, the former wife seems faultless, the step children have a good relationship with the new wife, and yet the new wife cannot seem to control her impulses leading to a wild ending.
