Sadie’s Mini Review – Every Day by David Levithan

By Leave a Comment

Every Day by David Levithan <— I came across this older-but-still-so-relevant recommendation AND HOLY MOLY BLURB JOLT ALERT!! I just had to bring it back to the forefront in case you haven’t read it (and because I haven’t read it yet, either!). I mean, but that blurb says SOOOO MUCH to me. Have I already watched the movie version of this??

Jen C: Every Day by David Levithan…! I’ve had that one on my wishlist FOREVER!

Sadie says:

Maryse –

I have no idea if this book will be your cup of tea BUT when a book is recommended by the author trifecta – Tarryn Fisher, Colleen Hoover, Karina Halle – I’m on it. Saw this one recommended by each of them on GR/FB and I had to check it out. read more

Margie’s Mini Book Review – The Ruined Bride by Madison Brooks

By Leave a Comment

The Ruined Bride: A Billionaire’s Heartbreaking Divorce, a Hidden Child, and a Second Chance Romance (The Ex-Wives Club Book 2) by Madison Brooks <— ANOTHER BETRAYAL BUT IT’S HIM WHO’S ACCUSING HER!!! Margie found us this one and she says THIS is the best of the series so far!

She says:

I know this is another Madison Brooks book, albeit in another series, but it’s so angsty and new…it came out in November 2025. I read the other two books in this series (The Ex Wives Club)…they’re ok, but not as good as this book. read more

Margie’s Mini Book Review – Happily Ever Never by Andrea Nourse

By Leave a Comment

Happily Ever Never<— HERE’S ANOTHER BETRAYAL & REDEMPTION FIND BY MARGIE!! And her own description of this has me excited!!

She says:

Here’s one from 2018 with only 341 reviews. It’s a doozy.

Andrea Nourse: Happily Ever Never

This book has a lot of twists and turns. It grabs your attention from the start with the wedding dress saga.

When you first learn about the FMC you may not like her…a big drinker who can consume two bottles of wine by herself at a special dinner, a party girl, an airhead (doesn’t care about college grades but wants a high end job), goes to an interview hungover. read more

BETRAYAL & REDEMPTION ALERT! MARGIE FOUND US ANOTHER ONE & OHHHH I LOVE THIS FORMAT, TOO!! Both a series reading order with mini reviews on each book. YAY US!!!

So I dug around and found this author…easy quick reads.

Madison Brooks <— Love and Vengeance series with 4 novellas, Each once full of betrayal and revenge (not so much book 4, which is ok but not as good first three novellas). Sadly not part of Kindle Unlimited.

1. The Crest Betrayal:
– Strong FMC
– Her husband and the OW engage in huge betrayal, including evil plan for scorched earth takedown of FMC’s business career
– Great revenge plan with help of MMC
– Billionaires and romance
– Satisfying ending read more

Margie’s Mini Book Review – Choosing Cassidy by Natasha Derouchie

By Leave a Comment

HOLY MOLY SHE’S THE OTHER WOMAN ALERT!! Margie’s latest find! THE OTHER WOMAN is the main character. Ohhh a glimpse from the eyes of the villainess?

P.S. Book #2 is now live, so we can devour to our heart’s content! They are all interconnected standalones.

She says:

Another Cheating Betrayal Book

Natasha Derouchie: Choosing Cassidy (Book 1 of 2 in The Soundtrack Series)

This book is binge worthy. It’s a cheating betrayal story that comes from a different direction, with characters that are well thought out, and with people who feel real with real emotions and reactions on rebuilding relationships and handling stress. read more
