Married with Benefits by Ellie Palmer

Married with Benefits

What a time I had with this one! Lainey lives in a small lake-side town in Wisconsin. She suffers from chronic migraines and being part of the gig economy in a small town doesn’t exactly give her great medical cover. She works as a handyman, ride share driver, carpenter and, on the side for herself, an artist, living a hand-to-mouth existence. Her small town is known for the work of a famous architect and Lainey … Continue reading Married with Benefits by Ellie Palmer

Pride Comes Before a Fall by Virginia Heath

Pride Comes Before a Fall

I spent a (mostly) happy two and a half days reading this one. For context, with my current circumstances, finding enough reading time to finish a book that quickly is only possible if the book has DRIVEN me to find the time to read. That being said, there is one thing that could be a major red flag for readers, and that diminished my own experience significantly. What pushed me through this one? My love … Continue reading Pride Comes Before a Fall by Virginia Heath
