Haiku Reviews...

 

Swept Away by Beth O'Leary


Stuck on a houseboat
adrift at sea, two strangers
learn about each other...and themselves.


Romance .... 369 pages .... 4.5/5 stars.
(Survival, honesty, revealing conversations, tears, smiles and unexpected love.)





The Geographer's Map to Romance by India Holton


A marriage of convenience.
Unleashed thaumaturgic magic.
Wild Adventure. And love.


Historical fantasy .... 327 pages .... 5/5 stars.
(Another magical read from Horton full of humor and romance.)





The Double-A Western Detective Agency by Steven Hockensmith


Gustav's and Otto's
first case puts them on the wrong
side of a range war.


Western/mystery .... 252 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(Sixth book in this fun series; I love that they've teamed up with their new partner, Diana Crowe, in this one. She keeps these cowboy sleuths on their toes.)




Season's Schemings by Katie Bailey


Their fake marriage plan:
show up her ex and get him
a green card. Win-win!


Sweet hockey romance .... 253 pages .... 5/5 stars.
(Loved this cute and funny marriage of convenience romance!)



Happy Reading!

  5. Swept Away is high up on my TBR and now I'm adding The Geographer's Map to Romance to my list as well. All of these sound great!
