at Metropolitan Storage;
each with their own secrets.

(A charming summer romance with clever and humorous banter...and some very funny nicknames between Holland and Phoenix.)
Happy Reading!
Lark, I love your haiku reviews! They are the best! And, they make me want to read more books :) Hope you are having a terrific week!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nadia! Glad my bookish haikus make you smile. I have fun writing them. :D
DeleteAll three of these sound great! I've been curious about Beauty and the Beach, so I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a very fun and sweet romance. I've been working my way through the other summer beach romances in that series, and enjoying them a lot.
DeleteThat was great. Off The Beaten Path has a cute cover.
ReplyDeleteIt's a cute romance, too. :D
DeleteThese are probably not for me but I always enjoy your haiku reviews.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dorothy! :D
DeleteLove a sweet, single dad and that cover! I'll look that one up. Wonderful Haiku reviews, Lark! :)
ReplyDeleteOff the Beaten Path was a lot of fun. I want to check out her other books.
DeleteI like the sound of Metropolis. I really enjoy when we get to peek into a bunch of different characters' lives to tell a larger story.
ReplyDeleteMetropolis is great. And so well-written. I totally got sucked into each of the characters' lives.
DeleteI'd go with Off the Beaten Path just for the cover!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that cover great? I really enjoyed the story, too. :D
DeleteLove.

Have a wonderful weekend, Regine! :D
DeleteI'm a sucker for a single dad in a romance novel. :) Holden from Off the Beaten Path sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for single dad romances, too! :D
DeleteOff the Beaten Path sounds so cute!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a fun read. :D
DeleteFun books, fun reviews :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cindy. :D
DeleteThese all sound like winners! And a good variety. I am glad you enjoyed these, Lark.
ReplyDeleteThey were all fun reads. :D
DeleteOooh Metropolis looks really good! Actually they all look good but that one especially appeals to me.
ReplyDeleteMetropolis is very good! I loved seeing how all the characters' lives intersected. :D
DeleteAll meeting at a storage place eh? Gosh I always wanted to get out of there quickly when I was using a unit for moving.
ReplyDeleteWell, some are actually living there. And one guy has his office there. So it's a pretty unique situation. But I'm like you; I find storage places kind of creepy. ;D
DeleteJust enough to intrigue me, Lark. They all sound like good ones. I used to watch that show where they auctioned off storage units. Some of the stuff was pretty creepy. Not sure if I would want to spend enough time there to meet others.
ReplyDeleteYeah, hanging out at a storage unit isn't something I'd want to do either. But I did love reading the book. :D
