Big-city critique meets small-town charm

—and it's love at first bite.

One Fall Day

River Valley Seasons Book 1

by Rachel Matthews

Genre: Slow-Burn Contemporary Small Town Romance

Manhattan food critic Valentina Aragon knows a good meal when she tastes it, and she never expected small-town River Valley to fall onto her plate. Her mentor insists it's a working retreat to recharge her creativity. But between the chilly days and the warmest people she's ever met, the town starts to feel less like a temporary stay and more like home. Too bad the one man she clashes with is the one who knows this town best.

Brandon Scott doesn't need love cluttering a life already full. But the inn's newest guest is impossible to ignore, even after he puts his foot in his mouth when she first arrives. When an opportunity to make things right lands in his lap, he takes it...and keeps taking it, one fall day at a time.

Acquaintances become friends, friends become something more, and when a figure from Brandon's past threatens the future he never saw coming, the whole town rallies to protect what matters most.

Cozy comforts inside: slow-burn sweetness, community heart, and a fall romance you'll want to curl up with.

Review: THE BABYSITTER’S CLUB: BABYSITTERS ON BOARD by Raina Telgemeier

 

For the first time, the Babysitter’s Club was going on a trip together. A cruise ship to the Bahamas.

 

The illustrations were great! Each babysitter has their own narrative in this. Dawn tries to find a cute boy she met. Little Karen goes back for her earplugs and takes a detour. Claudia may have a secret admirer on-board. Kristy and Dawn were having a battle of the Odd Couple.

 

I loved the wild expressions and the crazy antics the girls get into. Nothing but fun, wild, and romantic adventures on the ship and fair park. Great summer read!

 

Rating: 4 stars

Review: BETTIE PAGE: UNBOUND, Vol 1 by David Avallone

 

A fun collection of Bettie Page comics with a Halloween theme. I especially liked her “costume” as a Call Girl. Bettie sure knows how to fight monsters. Nice graphics! In another panel, she becomes a sexy vampire…but she’s still a mean one. Cool action scenes! Good read!

 

Rating: 4 stars

Review: BETTIE PAGE: UNBOUND, Vol 2 by David Avallone

 

Once again, Bettie Page takes no prisoners in this collection, which is a continuation of Volume 1. Cool graphics with good action! An invasion of the body snatchers and a copy of Bettie is made. What a fight with her double! Can she defeat the bug aliens? A good read!
