Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“A reticent lord falls for a spirited lady below his station in Heath’s sparkling second Miss Prentice’s Protégées romance (after ALL’S FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR)… With a plot as rollicking as it is sweetly romantic, this is Regency-era romantic comedy done right.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“Tensions flare during an English family’s vacation in the country in Littlewood’s emotive sophomore outing (after AMAZING GRACE ADAMS)… the story shifts effortlessly between the present and the sisters’ childhoods, culminating in the revelation of a secret that explains Patrick’s behavior. The author’s fans will find much to love.”—Publishers Weekly

FLASHLIGHT by Susan Choi | 9780374616373 | 6/3/25
Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“…Choi’s well-shaded characters are also the book’s strongest element, particularly as she sharply delineates the difficult relationship between Louisa and Anne, who often treat each other more like housemates or acquaintances than mother and daughter. This gripping story of a family in crisis is tough to shake.”—Publishers Weekly

On a remote island off the coast of Sweden, four friends meet every year. The location of the island is a secret to everyone but them. One night of reckless fun and secret-sharing, and then they return to their normal lives. Ever since she was a teenager, Tessa has been consumed by the story of four friends who disappeared. As her true crime fervor turned into a wildly popular podcast, Tessa covered Sweden’s most gruesome cases, but could never find the answers behind what happened to these women who disappeared. Anneliese is Tessa’s best friend, and before she walks down the aisle, she wants to have a bachelorette party. The destination: Baltic Vinyasa, a sophisticated yoga retreat on a small island off the coast—one with such similar characteristics to the tragedy years ago that it raises the hair on Tessa’s neck. Tessa will not pass this up. It’s her last chance to find out what happened to the four women, once and for all. And it’s someone else’s last chance to get revenge.

When eldest son Roman Carruthers is summoned home after his father’s car accident, he finds his younger brother, Dante, in debt to dangerous criminals and his sister, Neveah, exhausted from holding the family—and the family business—together. Neveah and their father, who run the Carruthers Crematorium in the central Virginia town of Jefferson Run, see death up close every day. But mortality draws closer when it becomes clear that the crash that landed their father in a coma was no accident and Dante’s recklessness has placed them all in real danger. Roman has some money to help buy his brother out of trouble, but he’s forgotten that there are real gangsters out there. He realizes that he has only one thing left to offer to save his brother: himself, and his own particular set of skills. Roman begins his work for the criminals while Neveah tries to uncover the long-ago mystery of what happened to their mother, who disappeared when they were teens. But Roman is far less of a pushover than the gangsters realize. He is willing to do anything to save his family. Anything.

With a leading role on a hit TV show, Meg Bryan appears to have everything she ever wanted. But underneath the layers of makeup and hairspray, her happiness is as fake as her stage name. Following a breakdown at her birthday party, she books a trip to Ireland, to the village where she and her best friend Aimee always dreamt of moving—a dream that fell apart when an accident claimed Aimee’s life a decade ago. When Meg arrives, the people in town treat her not as a stranger, but a friend. Her hair is no longer bleached, her skin has a few natural fine lines, and her nose looks like… well, her old nose. Her real nose. Eventually, she comes to accept that she somehow made a quantum slide into an alternate version of her life. But the most shocking realization of all? In this life, her best friend Aimee is alive–but wants nothing to do with Meg. Despite her bewilderment, Meg is clear-eyed about one thing: this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to reconnect with her friend and repair what she broke.

What’s worse? Her boss is Lyle “McHuge” McHugh, the sunshiny psychologist she’s avoided since their disastrous hookup last year. Stellar plans to dodge his pathological generosity from now until September, but after an article puts McHuge’s romantic credibility into question, a fake engagement is the only way to salvage the camp’s crumbling public image. It’s strictly business… but the more they work together, the more Stellar realizes her feelings for him are anything but professional. With competitors on their heels and secrets at stake, they must find a way to marry his softness with her steel to build a business–and a love–that will last past summer’s end.
