My Review

I was lucky enough to get an early copy of Secrets Under the Covers by Brenda Margriet which is one of the stories featured in this anthology.

50+ with libido's ❤️🔥

Ok, there's more to this story than libido's, but it's refreshing to read about a menopausal woman having a sex drive!

Nathan has been a friend and neighbour for years, both helping each other through the loss of their spouses. Helen works at a tattoo shop, she's a confident and sociable lady and they get on well, that is until Nathan notices she seems off, and then it gets interesting.

This could be described as the girl next door, or friends to lovers. Whatever genre you put it in it's a romance that I devoured in one sitting.

Richly Deserved: A TIMELESS Seasoned Romance by Brenda Margriet - New Release - Review


Richly Deserved: A TIMELESS Seasoned Romance

More than twenty years ago, Claudia Aronson escaped an abusive marriage. She built a secure, stable life, and is now only weeks away from realizing a long-held dream—opening her own art gallery. But her well-ordered world is threatened by the compelling, abrasive man essential to bringing her new venture into the spotlight.

Artist Titus Wilcox is reclusive, nomadic, and passionate. His solitary, drifting habits have fed his creative soul, but played hell with his love life. Soon after he meets the statuesque, seemingly-serene Claudia, however, he feels a compulsion to paint a new reality—with her.

When an antique painting reveals mysterious documents concealed behind its frame, Titus and Claudia unite in a hunt for lost riches—a pursuit that takes them into the remote hills surrounding the fabled gold rush town of Barkerville.

To these two skeptics, true love is as phony as fool’s gold. But this improbable search for buried treasure could lead to their hearts’ hidden desires.



MY REVIEW

Maybe it's because I've had a big birthday this year but seasoned characters really appeal to me! I've read this author many times and have never been disappointed, and her seasoned love books are delightful.

Claudia is a proud woman, confident and determined, and a woman living her life her way. I thought she was fabulous, slightly guarded but most definitely all woman.

Titus is the artist Claudia wants to exhibit at her opening, she may have bitten off more than she thought as he's quite a character. He's no spring chicken, just like her. He's quite determined himself when something takes his interest, he seems to dig in for the win! I really liked his personality and the banter they shared.

This story is mainly about Claudia and Titus, but there's also a mystery item to research along with interesting side characters and their lives. All in all, this was an entertaining seasoned love story.

After Words: A TIMELESS Seasoned Romance by Brenda Margriet - New Release - Review



After Words: A TIMELESS Seasoned Romance
by Brenda Margriet


Blurb

July 21st, 1941
The journey starts here. I don't know if I'll be able to record everything about it but I'll try. My mother made me promise that I write in this journal as often as possible.

The moment Leeza Boychuk reads these words, painstakingly penned in a battered, time-stained diary by a young Canadian soldier, she knows her life will change. With a failing business, a philandering ex-husband and an ocean between her and her son, she has her own battles. Yet the infantryman’s innocent yet brutal story haunts her.

Determined to return the journal to the soldier’s family, she enlists the help of Gavin Fletcher, an enigmatic widower. His calm steadfastness is soothing to Leeza’s tattered soul—until an unexpected kiss ignites a longing she isn’t ready to explore.

But Leeza can’t abandon her quest…even if it means confronting her feelings for this increasingly intriguing man

My Review

I love reading a more mature romance, or seasoned as the author describes this book - they're generally a little messier as the characters come with a history and family. I still love young love but reading someone my own age fall in love is wonderful - so yes I loved this gentle romance ❤️📖.

This love story is mingled with a long lost diary and the search for the family it belongs to. A diary entry is at the beginning of each chapter and they're short, but hit home about what the young men went through in WW2.

Gavin offers to help Leeza research the diary and this takes them on some trips away from home. I mentioned the romance is gentle and it is, but it still has sizzle and all the feels.

Leeza is a divorcee, good job too as her ex was a cheater. She's a professional woman, running a book store, and a loving mum to a son. I felt she must have lost some of her confidence in her marriage and I enjoyed seeing her become a woman in love.

Gavin, what a dark horse.... The quietly mannered employee is so much more. It was delightful seeing the twinkle in his eye and the quirk of lips mean so much more!!

I always love a cabin scene, this had a perfect one set... enough said lol

The perfect book for this snuggle season.
