I've Read That....

A Tasty Dish by Kelly Cain I received the audio version of this book! I thought it was very well narrated, clear and easy to listen too. Kasi is a film producer looking to get her new flick up and running. The new show is an Indie film highlighting cuisine across the globe, which brings her to needing a chef. She meets Declan. They have instant chemistry that's off the charts but he's tied to his family. Or his dad is very controlling over what his sons do. Most of the book is based around their chemistry, the chemistry the brothers have and trying to all break away from their father. This is book 2 in the series, and I didn't feel like I didn't know what was going on. I will go back and read book 1 now for sure and can't wait for book 3!

One Night on the Island by Josie Silver  I absolutely love Josie Silver's books, but this one was hit or miss for me. I just felt like I never could get rolling with it. Maybe my own build up was the cause. I needed more spark, chemistry? Maybe because I love One Night in December so much, I expect to love them all as much. Cleo arrives on Salvation Island only to realize the spot she's book has also been booked  by Mack. They devise the plan to tell each other 3 things about each other in order to get to know each other. Mack's life is in disarray. He wants to be there for his boys. He still loves Susie... There are a lot of self help journeys in this book, which is very real life. We are always on one, working through something.

With Love from London by Sarah Jio  This was the first book I've read by this author and I enjoyed it. It was slow to get started and a little slow in the middle, but it kept my interest. I did not like the sadness though. It was sad watching Valentina discover and lose her mother all over again. Valentina inherits her mothers book store after she passes away. She struggles to pay the inheritance tax, which if she defaults, she'll lose the bookstore and her mother all over again. She befriends her mother's tenant, Lizzy and Miller, her mothers childhood friend. They work together with the community to save the bookstore. We follow both stories, Eloise and Valentina's in 2 different story lines but both intertwining. I just reviewed With Love from London by Sarah Jio. #WithLovefromLondon #NetGalley

  Meet Me in the Margins by Melisas Ferguson  I really enjoyed this story! Savannah dreams of writing her own book, until that comes to fruition, she works for a publishing house. When she's ready to submit her work, she leaves it in the ARC room. First off, I wish I worked there because the ARC room sounds fabulous! I could and would get lost in there for days, just reading and reading and reading. While her book gets passed on, she decides to correct the changes that someone notated on her copy, but she doesn't know who the editor is. Or does she? The secret editor is Will, who's a good guy and editor. It just so happens he's also the bosses son! This is a nice clean romance book - very similar to Very Sincerely Yours,  and To Sir with Love.
