Not Guilty of Books

  THE HANDYMAN AND THE BARKEEP Snow Creek Ranch Series by AM Arthur Release Date: February 28, 2024 Review The Snow Creek Ranch multi-author series has not steered me wrong! I have thoroughly enjoyed every book so far, and this installment by AM Arthur is no different. Malcolm, the town handyman and sometimes barkeep, thrives on being there for people, including bar owner Howie when he falls sick. And with that, Iggy returns to town. Town native turned city boy mixologist, he stumbles back into small town life (with flair). It’s a great reunion. I mean it’s awkward, a bit stumbling, and hella healing. It also includes some wonderful new and old characters that help make this series feel so warm. Like you’ve been there yourself.

  LEAP YEAR Reconstruction - Book One by AM Arthur Release Date: February 28, 2024 Review Reclusive artist Russell Schar enjoys his quiet life in the big house he rents from his best friend, so he’s less than thrilled when a small family moves in next door. Neighbors and their noise do not fit into his carefully constructed routines, but as long as they stay on their side of the property? He’ll work it out. After a series of family traumas, all single-dad Patrick Gillespie wants is to find some balance: school for his seven-year-old son, a full-time job for himself, and a stable place to live while he gets his late mother’s affairs in order. He does not expect his surly, ginger bear of a neighbor to slide right under his skin and stay there. Or for Russell to develop a fast friendship with Patrick’s son. A mild flirtation between Patrick and Russell turns into more than either man expects or knows how to deal with. They both want to protect their damaged hearts, but sometimes it ta...
