My go-to dish for dinner, breakfast, or brunch: 🥔 Tater Tot Casserole 🥔. It’s mouthwatering, never fails to make my husband grin from ear to ear when he realizes what’s on the menu, and it’s crazy easy to whip up!

😍😍😍 Yay! Another amazing book is released into the book world!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a wonderful ending to a great series!

Sloane Madison and Max Cirillo were once best friends and business partners, building their dream company from the ground up. But four years ago, a devastating fallout led to Sloane being forced out of the company she helped create. While Max turned their college project into a billion-dollar company, Sloane moved on, launching an etiquette business of her own—successful but nowhere near as well as Max... I love every Becky Wade book I read. From her very first Porter Family series to the Sons of Scandal series, she has a beautiful way of creating believable, flawed, and lovable characters that draw me in every time. Uneasy Street is no exception! [read more]

Coming in April!!! @pepperbasham 's Some Like It Scot releases soon!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pepper D. Basham you’ve done it again! You made me laugh, swoon, and blink back tears. As a fellow tall lady, I fell in love with Katie and her deep longing for love and a place to call home. I felt like I was right there with her, exploring Scotland and experiencing every magical moment. This story was beautifully written, laugh-out-loud funny, and an absolute delight to read. I’m truly sad to say goodbye to Katie and Graeme—I could follow their adventures forever. What a fantastic book! Highly recommend!
