  THE CAMBOY OF CAVENDISH HALL Cavendish Hall - Book One by Jem Wendel Release Date: January 19, 2026 Review A really neat premise with a wonderful found family bound by love and acceptance. One of the things I love about reading authors from other countries is the elements of their society building stories that are different from ours.  Lords, Earls, Butlers, and Manors always seem like another world to me. Struggling actor Kai, suddenly becomes an Earl and the owner of an estate and staff. One that owes a lot of money, and holds the secrets of an uncle he never knew.   Feeling drawn to the home and the family he never knew, he moves in, discovering an unconventional family within its walls.

REVIEW: Kiss Me Again by Garrett Leigh

  KISS ME AGAIN by Garrett Leigh Release Date: January 15, 2026 Review What an incredible story.  I don’t have a lot of experience with bi-polar, but this felt real and true. You could really feel both the chaos of living with, as well as loving someone with a mental health illness. Their love story feels hard-won, but also the easiest thing ever, if that makes sense. Ultimately, they are perfect for one another.  Their lives won’t always be easy or smooth; rather, fiercely loving. And I love how finding each other helps settle the rest of their lives and relationships.  Proving how amazing life can be with someone who has your back, and loves you as they are.
