Two Dogs and a Book

The Spice Master at Bistro Exotique  by  Samantha Verant My rating:  3 of 5 stars THE SPICE MASTER AT BISTRO EXOTIQUE by Samantha Vérant was a sweet rom-com with many savoury moments. It is the story of Kate, a chef, who wants to open a bistro in Paris. She will face many obstacles and might find love along the way. The story is full of delicious food references that will make you hungry. I wish the story would have been as spicy as all the wonderful dishes mentioned in it. The chemistry between Kate and Charles was hot but the author left the spicey moments to the imagination of the reader. This "enemies to lovers" romance was, nonetheless, a delicious read. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibli...

The Partner Track  by  Helen Wan My rating:  4 of 5 stars I received a surprise copy of THE PARTNER TRACK by Helen Wan a while back and did not realise that it had been made into a Netflix series. While my husband was selecting something on Netflix, I saw the preview for it. It looks good. It is my habit to read a book before I see the movie or TV adaptation, so, this gave me incentives to bump this book up my TBR list. I do not regret it. This is such a fantastic story of determination amid struggles and prejudice. I love Ingrid's character so much and related to her desire to please everyone. I also love that the romance aspect of the book was not what you would have expected and that was a welcomed surprise. If this book is not on your TBR list yet, I recommend it! #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #reade...

The Secret Society of Salzburg  by  Renee Ryan My rating:  5 of 5 stars THE SECRET SOCIETY OF SALZBURG by Renee Ryan is a fantastic WWII historical novel about an Austrian opera singer and a British artist who unite their efforts to save Jewish people escape to England. Ms. Ryan delivers a nail-biting plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The friendship story between Elsa and Hattie is beautiful and heartfelt. The ending is triumphant! A must-read for those who enjoyed strong female protagonist during war time. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #thesecretsocietyofsalzburg #reneeryan #lovedinspired #harlequinbooks #historicalfiction #wartimefiction #bookreview View all my reviews ...

Christmas at the Island Hotel  by  Jenny Colgan My rating:  4 of 5 stars CHRISTMAS AT THE ISLAND HOTEL by Jenny Colgan is my last Christmas read for this year and it is a good one. I enjoyed the well-developed characters and the story settings. Add a prince and a massive angel decoration and this book becomes quite interesting. This is the fourth book in the Mure Series. I would love to read the other books and discover more about these wonderful characters. This book can be read as a stand-alone and it is a feel-good Christmas story not to be missed. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #christmasattheislandhotel #christmasbooks #jennycolgan #williammorrow #bookreview View all my reviews...

Evil Thing: The Graphic Novel: A Villains Graphic Novel  by  Serena Valentino My rating:  5 of 5 stars EVIL THING by Serena Valentino and illustrated by Arielle Jovellanos was an awesome read. I love to discover more about Cruella and how she became that horrendous villain. Who in their right mind would want to turn dalmatian puppies into fur coats. Only Cruella De Vil…. If she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will! This was entertaining and yet quite sad at times. This book is part of the Villains Graphic Novel series. I am going to get more to discover more villains and how they became so evil. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #evilthing #serenavalentino #ariellejovellanos #disneyhyp...

The Lindbergh Nanny  by  Mariah Fredericks My rating:  4 of 5 stars I love books based on true events. I was so happy to get a copy of THE LINDBERGH NANNY by Mariah Fredericks and discovered a bit more about the events surrounding the kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh, Jr., the 20 months old son of aviators Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. This historical event did not have a happy ending as the body of the was discovered by a truck driver by the side of a nearby road, two months after his kidnapping. The book is told in the perspective of Betty Gow, a young woman who was hired as a nanny to the young Lindbergh. Betty was a suspect but demonstrated her innocence during the trial, which was referred as one of the "trials of the century" by the Legal scholars of that time. The writing is intelligent and engaging. The characters were well defined. I enjoyed this novel tremendously. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram ...

Two Wrongs Make a Right  by  Chloe Liese My rating:  4 of 5 stars I really enjoyed reading TWO WRONGS MAKE A RIGHT by Chloe Liese. This enemies to lovers and fake dating story is well-written and fun to read. I love the main characters’ quirks and the chemistry between them was hot. The sex scenes were sizzling. The book also has very real and honest moments about abusive relationships. Overall, this was a smart, entertaining, emotional read. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #twowrongsmakearight #chloeliese #berkleyromance #romancenovel #neurodivergentbooks #bookreview View all my reviews
