Tools of Engagement is the third and (as far as I know) final book in Tessa Bailey's Hot & Hammered series, following Fix Her Up and Love Her or Lose Her. I enjoyed Fix Her Up but skipped the second because I don't think Bailey has the tools to write outside her lane with two POC protagonists.

Review: Would I Lie to the Duke, by Eva Leigh
[fa icon="calendar'] Aug 14, 2020 9:45:00 AM / by Suzanne posted in review
Eva Leigh's latest historical romance asks "Would I Lie to the Duke?" and the answer is yes, yes Jess would. But it's for a good cause and everything works out, so perhaps we can forgive Jess and forgive the author for all the 80's earworms.

Hi August! We are back from hiatus and sort of ready to tackle the reading world again. Sort of.
You'll notice some changes this month, including reduced social media interaction and less content overall. This team is balacing a lot right now.
Hope you find some books to read... and then tell us about them!

Dear wonderful reader,

Now is the time for all those post-poned May books... I guess? In any case, it's a lot of books and I'm sorry. (Not really.)
