Review: 

So anyone who knows me knows I am a sucker for cozy mysteries! This one was perfect! I loved it!
This is a small-town cozy mystery where we start with Dawna who is in her sixties and 
the owner of a small-town local hardware store. She lost her husband and she misses him a lot but, she also talks out loud to him as well. One morning she is waiting for her employee to arrive at work, and while he is not normally running late she goes about normal business in the store when her daughter comes by and asks her to watch the store while she runs to the bathroom. However, she is surprised to see a man murdered in the bathroom that she shares with the next-door store. Shocked she has her daughter call the police and her employee finally arrives at work. 
The police make her close her store and the store next to her because it is now a crime scene. Dawna sets her mind to help solve the murder when her best friend's husband is the one that they arrest for the murder. Dawna along with her daughter started asking questions around town and learning many different things! Things start to get heated with threats and different twists and turns in the investigation and another murder happens at the hardware store! 
This is a cute debut small-town cozy mystery and it's really good! I loved it and finished it in the afternoon! I would like to extend my gratitude to Netgally and Dreamscape Media for the opportunity to listen to this one! The narrator was awesome and fit the story very well! I enjoyed it!

Title: His Secret Starlight Baby  Author: Michelle Major Expected Publication: February 23, 2021 Publisher: Harlequin Special Edition  Genre: Romance  Pages: 224 pages  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review:  It's soo cute and I loved it! Cory has a secret, a secret that her grandmother's dying wish was for Cory to let her son meet his father. Jordan is a retired NFL player and he had a one night event with Cory and when she snuck out of his bed in the morning he went ahead and left Atlanta and started his new non-NFL life. So later when Cory goes to see Jordan he is surprised but not as surprised as he is when Cory tells him he has a son. So now they are pretending to be in a relationship and they are going to Jordan's fathers funeral. Now, this game gets too serious when Cory starts to actually get feelings for Jordan and Jordan is too stubborn to tell Cory he has the same feelings. This is a cute quick read and I loved it and binged it in one night!

My Review of The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen

Title: The Golden Couple  Author: Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen  Expected Publication: March 8, 2022 Publisher: St. Martin's Press  Genre: Mystery/ Thriller  Pages: 336 pages  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review:  OMG This is one that I was really enthusiastic to read because I have loved EVERYTHING that these two authors have written and just a little secret (they didn't let me down! I was glued to my kindle the last 40% of the book!) Marissa Bishop sought out Avery Chambers to help her with her marriage. Marissa had a fling and she wanted to tell her husband in a controlled environment, where she and he could work out their differences and heal their marriage. Avery is just the unorthodox therapist to do this, see she only takes clients that she can help in 10 visits because she has a system that works. So while they work through her program they can be in a different place than when they first came to see her. So, while it seems that the Bishops are getting through their

Title: Daughter  Author: Kate McLaughlin  Expected Publication: March 8, 2022 Publisher: Wednesday Books  Genre: Young Adult/ Thriller/ Mystery  Pages: 336 pages Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review:  This was definitely a different type of book, it has a very unique storyline. I don't think that I have ever read a book quite like this one but, it was worth a read! Scarlet is your atypical teenager, she is being raised by her really helicopter/overprotective mom. While Scarlet seems to be your regular teenager with regular problems her mother has been keeping a very big secret away from her! Scarlet finds out the reason for her mother's overprotectiveness when the FBI shows up at her house, and Scarlet finds out her father is a notorious serial killer and he is losing his battle with cancer. To make things more challenging about turning the life of Scarlet, since her father is losing his battle with cancer he has agreed to tell the names of his victims only to his daughter. Her fath
