Where I Left Off

Ever been surprised by the book that caught your interest? I’ve been there! Once a die-hard fan of mystery and thriller novels, I, found myself unexpectedly charmed by the world of romance books. Tune in as I walk you through what I've been reading.
If you're looking for your next romance novel, I have some ideas. And for all my fellow mystery and thriller enthusiasts out there, I've got you covered with recommendations from authors like Riley Sager and Ruth Ware.
But not all books leave a lasting impression. I’ll be discussing a few titles that couldn't live up to the hype. However, I have some alternatives!

In the episode, I refer to The Icebreaker as The Heartbreaker and The Last to Vanish as The Last to Finish. Apologies to the authors for pronouncing their titles incorrectly.
Romance Recommendations:

• The Cheat Sheet by Sarah Adams
