The Valentine Writer: Helping Others Find Love (3.5 Stars)
I recently finished reading The Valentine Writer by Iris Lim. It’s a novella about a lady, Mary Danforth, who has helped her siblings write love poems for their future spouses.

Repairing a Broken Heart: Horses and New Love (4 Stars)
I recently finished reading Repairing a Broken Heart by G. L. Robinson. Don’t write off this book as too cheesy based on the title. It’s not nearly as cheesy as it sounds.

Alverstone: Love and War Regency Novel (4 Stars)
I recently finished reading Alverstone, the first book in a new Regency series by Beatrice Knight. I’m a fan of Jane Austen, so I figured this would be a good option.
