2019: #30 – Down by the River (Robyn Carr)

Down by the River by Robyn Carr

This was a solid end to a trilogy that I really enjoyed, reading each book in succession. Grace Valley’s doctor June is surprise pregnant, and her lover, Jim Post, is no longer a secret. Much of the book is dedicated to June and her pregnancy and the pressure she is feeling to get married before this baby makes its appearance — despite her doubts and

Just Over the Mountain by Robyn Carr

This book was a continuation of the first, and I think it was just as good. When this one starts out, June’s old high school boyfriend Chris has returned to town, twin teenage boys in tow. Everyone speculates that Chris and June are going to get back together (they *are* kind of the only single people in town), but what everyone else doesn’t know is

Deep in the Valley by Robyn Carr

This was a nice start to a trilogy from Robyn Carr, but I consider it more women’s fiction than a romance. There was only the tiniest bit of romance in the book, but I don’t think it suffered from the lack. The story is centered around Dr. June Hudson, the main doctor in Grace Valley, a rural part of California. She needs to hire a

2019: #11 – Confessions of a Domestic Failure (Bunmi Laditan)

Confessions of a Domestic Failure by Bunmi Laditan

I thought this was good, but it really rode the edge of too cringey for me. Ashley is a first-time mom who is struggling like a lot of first-time moms. She doesn’t know who she is anymore, she feels like she can’t get a handle on routine household tasks, she feels inferior to her sister (also a first-time mom), not to mention the pressure of

The years that India was under British rule has long been an interesting time period to me, and this book is set right smack in the middle of it. Perveen Mistry is someone unusual — a female lawyer in early 1920s Bombay. She’s not considered a full lawyer because she cannot appear in court, but she’s able to do a lot of contract work and
