Contractors, Musicians and Royals… Oh My!

Smitten with Eden Falls Academy

Judy Corry is one of my favourite romance authors. Her enthralling storylines and sincere characters capture my heart. She’s also not afraid to plunge below the surface and grapple with life’s difficulties. Her latest Young Adult romance series, Eden Falls Academy, ticks many of my ‘likes’ boxes!

Stealing Jody Hedlund’s Will…

Despite the title, I promise there’s nothing nefarious going on here. I’m simply suffering from a book hangover, all thanks to Jody Hedlund’s Waters of Time series. Long story short, I have a consuming case of Will Fever. Symptoms include: daydreaming about a brooding Middle Ages knight, a resurgence of chatting about time travel, and […]
