- Latest Review: The Pale Flesh of Wood by Elizabeth A. Tucker
I don't typically enjoy romance novels that involve affairs, but it was hard not to like the chemistry between Grant and Cammy. I appreciated how the author justified the relationship and her well-thought-out backstories for the characters. I felt like it was easy to emphasize with Grant's and Cammy's plights, so it was easy to cheer on their relationship and hope that everything worked out. The wait was a suspenseful journey because the author did a fantastic job creating tension in their relationship from inner conflict and external pressure, not to mention the ever-looming question of what would happen when they found Paula. It was not immediately clear if she was gone for good or would be coming back despite the outcome implied by the title.
I agree with you. I also have a hard time empathizing with characters who are involved in affairs. The author must have done a great job with the character development! And I love witty dialogue and funny banter.
Thank you for your review.

Stepford Wives vibes, you say? I’m listening…The Sunset Lane ladies, as Cammy refers to them, were intriguing, annoying, and downright crazy, and I loved the contributions they made to the suspect list with their actions and motives. Sometimes I was so shocked by what they said and did, but I enjoyed their Stepford-wives-type vibes.
A romance with well-written complexity and drama?! Sign me right up!

“Murder Among Friends” by Linda J Burson has a very catchy title and made me want to know how the story was written. It seems like a great mix of suspense and romance. The characters seem well-developed and the dialogue engaging. I enjoy books written in the present tense, and despite its grammatical errors, it seems like a fun read with a rewarding conclusion.
Congrats #BOTD
