1 Star - DNF'd the book
2 Star - The author took time to write & publish the book but it was missing something. The grammar was bad. The editing was bad. It wasn't worth finishing but I finished. Would not recommend.
3 Star - It was meh. It was just okay. It wasn't terrible but wasn't worth recommending.
4 Star - Worth recommending but will probably forget about it after a few days.
5 Star - Roman Empire. Plays like a movie in my head and will never forget. This is the type of book I will promote all over social media.
I never dreamed of being an author. I just got the bug in early 2025. I am in the process of writing my debut novel to be released in Spring 2025. -

I absolutely LOVE to read! One of my favorite things to do is curl up with a good book or create my own. My kids love to join me in creating their own stories too and those are always ones that make me laugh! I enjoy reading all kinds of books, but romance books that have a good story to it are my favorite to both read and write. Also, sharing the books I love with friends over coffee or a book turned movie is something I enjoy when I'm not running from my son's soccer game or to my daughter's dance class. Along with my friends and family, I have fun spending time outdoors, one of the reasons Maine is the setting in my first award-winning novel, "The Unforgettable Summer".
