This book has a lot of very positive reviews. So let me preface mine by suggesting you read it to see if it appeals to you. This was just a horrible read for me. It was a lot of smut and explicit sexual encounters that I was not expecting. I could care less about the characters and that kept me from being invested in the story. I have enjoyed previous books by the author, so I will definitely consider reading future books. Unfortunately, this one was not the one for me. Thank

I love Maddie Please books and how “women of a certain age” demonstrate they are not ready to be put out to pasture yet. Joy is my hero. She pulls up her big girl panties and decides it is time to discover what SHE wants in life. Amid humor, trials and tribulations of family dynamics, and the chance of a new life with a potential love interest, you will be in for a warm and cozy story that affirms that life does not end at 40. Grab a glass of wine and curl up with this deligh

I love reading historical fiction books and especially if they are set during the WWII time period. Because I have read so many books in this genre, it is hard to find one that covers an aspect I am not familiar with. This book covered Lenny’s life as a spy for the SOE.

While this is introduced, I was disappointed that there was very

I enjoy reading historical fiction books and especially when they take place during the WWII time period. The dual timeline aspect of this story was an added plus.

The author does a wonderful job of creating two separate timelines but merges them together that is so subtle I had to spend time thinking about the connection. Thank

I love historical fiction books and especially those that deal with books and libraries. So many magical things can happen in the pages of a wonderful book. So this one caught my attention and I looked forward to time spent with Lily. The history of the American Library in Paris was interesting and I enjoyed getting to know the many characters featured in the book. The shelves of books and the comfort of friendship makes this a story worth exploring. Thank you to NetGalley an

I enjoy reading mystery thrillers and the synopsis of this book caught my attention and I thought I would like getting lost in this new series. However, while it is touted as the first book in a new series, it seems that it is just a continuation of the Hugo Marston series. Though he is now retired and starting a new career as the owner of a bookshop, he is still the same annoying character from books in the previous series. There are some positive aspects to the book ... the
