Review: Lipstick & Lattes by Tracy Krimmer

Lipstick & Lattes by Tracy Krimmer Rating: 3 stars Blurb: Whitney only needs two things to survive — a steaming cup of coffee and the opportunity to create art with makeup.

Sunday Post #209

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog. What happened this week? This was a pretty good week. There was still plenty of work to keep me busy, but a bit less than in the previous weeks. I guess everyone is busy preparing for Christmas. I got a bit more reading done and even a bit of gaming. I got […]

Review: December by Audrey Carlan

December (Calendar Girl #12) by Audrey Carlan Rating: 4 stars Blurb: Mountains, miracles, and marriage. I had no idea what to expect when the producers of Dr. Hoffman sent me to the pristine white mountains of Aspen, Colorado. As the town of Aspen is known for being a winter haven for uber-rich Americans, I knew this desert cactus was going to be way out of her element. The ace up my sleeve however, was a high-class movie-making surfer whose family owned a cabin in those snowy hills. With him by my side, I’d make the most out of the experience. […]
