Starting my clean book review blog!

Reading well over 250 novels/novellas a year, I felt it was time to put my review work to some real work!  I will be adding to my page every week, sometimes daily.

Can't wait to start this project that I have dreamed about for many years! To me!

Sharing the love of clean reads with mainly HEA is my dream!

My first review is of course, a play on the name! One of my favorite reads that I discovered with my children, but appealed to me as an adult with it's genuine, honest emotions.




"Flipped" by Wendelin Van Draanen
This is the perfect read for anyone who loves a two person narration. Told from alternating points of view, a lovely introspective, heartfelt, honest, and beautifully written young adult novel. Anyone would love reading this. There are so many clever, honest, insightful moments in this novel. Bryce and Juli, their families, the hurts, the misunderstandings, the epiphanies, it is all so well done and so well composed. I will always be a fan of W.v.D. after reading this beautiful gorgeous book. Solid side characters, setting and subject. It is a perfect novel of introspection, reflection, and young romance.

The Paper Daughters of Chinatown by Heather B. Moore

The Paper Daughters of Chinatown Heather B. Moore GoodReads Review    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Historical fiction novel; Strong thematic elements PG-13  Historical novel, with intrigue, and based on real people and events that bring the Occidental Mission home, the girls, and Donaldina Cameron, and the underbelly of this city into full portrait. HBM brings incidences, individuals, and the supporting characters in this history to vivid detail and drama.  Highlighting the struggles, highs, lows, and historical moments so vividly, you can feel the tension, fears, determination, and highs and lows of this portion of Donaldina Cameron's life, the spotlighted girls, and the Mission Home history. Highly recommend if you love historical fiction.  I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. My opinions are my own.

"Where the Stars Meet the Sea" by Heidi Kimball

Where the Stars Meet the Sea by Heidi Kimball Goodreads Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐  Romance, clean, period;  Juliet's story, and her romance with the Duke of Halstead, was a lovely, period romance.  As she stumbles in several encounters with the Duke, mainly as she seeks to escape notice of her overbearing, unkind Aunt, making mistakes with him, but with her genuine nature, and forthright manner open his heart to a chance of a future.  The moments were sweet, funny at times, and even as she questions the outcomes and worries, you can see his heart opening to her.  Some of the side characters were caricatures, a bit over done in some ways.  The conflict with her Aunt, pushing her cousin's suit and holding her brother's future over her as she tries to control how Juliet acts, and interacts with others made for a good contrast with Halstead's subtle observations and interactions.  Halstead's family, his mother, grandmother and sister and the conflicts and contrasts th

  On the Run Guardians Book 4 Traci Hunter Abramson GoodReads Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐✯ Romance, clean, suspense; series but stand alone read Elle Jameson's suspicion of a crime as she works undercover at an Air Force base abroad. Her subsequent rescue by The Guardians has her running and trying to escape danger with Ghost/Nolan to try to keep her secrets safe and undercover who is involved and behind the murder of her sister and what is going to be done with the secrets she has uncovered. Perfect blend of intense action, moments of digging to uncover the secrets and connections to the criminals, and of course, the attraction between Elle and Nolan. Loved seeing glimpses of other characters from past novels to support the story line in this one. Perfectly paced and detailed, and loved all subterfuge, action, and ov course the romance. Great characters, side characters, and perfect setting abroad after the previous novel set in the US. T.H.A. knows how to right fun, fast paced, acti
