Jen’s Life:
✮ These last two months our lives have been consumed with the two puppies my parents got. They have been such an amazing addition to the family and my husband, boys and myself have fallen in love with them too. We spend every free moment we can at my parents house lol. You can see pictures of them here, here and here.

Our Favorite Books of the Month:
Jen’s Choice – A Scoundrel of Her Own by Stacy Reid & Everything He Isn’t by Lauren Stewart
I’m sorry but there’s no way I can decide between these two.
A Scoundrel of Her Own was a story of star-crossed lovers that was passionate, emotional and impossible to put down. This book had the most wonderful HEA and was another huge hit and instant favorite by Stacy Reid!
Everything He Isn’t consumed my every waking thought. With friendship, romance, banter, steam and tons of heart filling the pages, I loved this book with my whole heart!
✩✮✩
Arielle’s Choice – Aurora’s End (The Aurora Cycle #2) by Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff
This series and these characters will live in my mind and in my heart for the rest of my life. I was reminded throughout this entire book, but especially at the end, that this series and these characters are so special because of their love for one another. They are each other’s CHOSEN and found family and not even centuries of time and zillions of lightyears is going to change that. Without going into any detail their love for one another saved each other and the entire galaxy and that is what is going to stick with me the most.

Puppies are the best! Wishing you a fabulous 2022 too Sophie!
Where are the pictures of these puppies? Those are always welcome. I am sad to see Eight Perfect Hours didn’t work for you. I love Louis’ books.

She writes the most sexiest, emotional, addictive historical romance stories, I love them! Thanks!

Marianna @ Tell me a Yarn recently posted…December Wrap-up
Yes, they are completely irresistible! We did, thank you so much!
Oh my goodness, the puppies are adorable!! I would be obsessed as well.
Thank you so much, they melted our hearts so easily!
The puppies are so adorable! Thank you for sharing pics. I miss having a dog, but it’s not the right time for us to bring one home. I bought Aurora’s end at the B&N 50% sale after Christmas and dove in. I loved it as much as I did the first two books–the sci-fi romp through space and the banter made for fun reading. I have a copy of Once Upon a Broken Heart (still unread) and am happy you enjoyed it.
Thank you, Danielle! My parents waited for almost 9 months and then it was the right time to bring dogs back into their lives. Here’s hoping you love that book!
