Haiku Reviews...



One Last Play by Annah Conwell


She loves football...and 
his daughter. Can he convince 
her to love him, too?


Sweet romantic comedy .... 252 pages .... 5/5 stars.
(Clean single dad sports romance that I totally loved.)





Love and Other Conspiracies by Mallory Marlowe


He's into cryptids;
she's not. But when they team up,
their new web show rocks.


Romance .... 334 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(Cute and humorous with lots of fun banter.)






Reel Love by Savannah Scott


Online word game brings
famous actress and marine
biologist together.


Romantic comedy .... 372 pages .... 4.5/5 stars.
(Opposites attract in this sweet romance. Loved the island setting.)



Happy Reading!

  1. These all sound charming! The single dad romance sounds very sweet, and I like the idea of the other two as well -- cryptids and an island setting! Making a note of all three...

  2. All of these books sound so good! Love and Other Conspiracies has me especially intrigued because I've always been fascinated by cryptids. :)

    1. Me, too! And their differing viewpoints on whether or not such cryptids could really exist was humorous.

    1. It's a romance that made me laugh. I loved their hunt for the strange.

    1. Hi, Cindy! Thanks for turning me onto Annah Conwell's books. I look forward to reading more of them. :D

  6. Weird that two of the book covers don't have faces. I've seen that's kind of a trend. I enjoyed Love and Other Conspiracies, but the romance fell a little flat for me. I'm sure it's a me thing! :)

    1. Yeah, I don't love this faceless trend that's showing up on romance covers lately, and it's everywhere. And I debated between giving Love and Other Conspiracies 3.5 or 4 stars, but settle on 4 in the end. It's not a perfect romance, but I did think it was fun.

  7. Love the haikus! I like the cover for Love and Other Conspiracies (plus the topic) probably makes that the one for me, though Reel Love sounds fun too.

    1. I enjoyed both of them. But then I've been in a mood for happy endings and lighter reads lately.

  8. Love the sound of Love and Other Conspiracies! You had me at cryptids! LOL!

    1. Cryptids is always a draw for me, too. I just wish sometimes actual cryptids showed up in the books! ;D

  9. Am I too old or too out of touch? I did not know what cryptids meant, and now I know what cryptozoology is. So I Iearned something already today.

    The faceless thing is weird on the covers, although I did not notice until I saw that comment.

    1. I don't love the faceless thing on book covers. And I don't think cryptids is used very much...certainly not in normal conversation. But in books? It's kind of fun. ;D

  10. These both look so cute and like nice happy reads for this time of year when I'm overwhelmed and exhausted!

    1. Overwhelmed and exhausted totally describes my state of mind in November...hence the large number of romances I've been reading lately. ;D
