CLP Blog Tours Book Review: Staged by Ruby Preston

Ruby Preston is on tour now with CLP Blog Tours and Staged. I was super excited to get this book, as I highly enjoyed the first in this Broadway series, Showbiz. Scarlett Savoy is back and ready to conquer the Broadway biz – for real this time. She is now a producer for her own company, has financial backing thanks to a good friend, has a hit show on her hands, and even more pieces fall into place when she snags a sought-after director and a Hollywood starlet to play the lead. The only thing she needs now? A theater.
Oh, there is so much more to Staged than just Scarlett trying to find a theater and making her show a success. The most intriguing part to me was the romance – just who was Scarlett going to end up with? I hate to drop a (very minor) spoiler, but it looks like we won’t know that answer until the third and final book in this series. I’m not sure you would absolutely need to read Showbiz in order to catch on to this book, but I actually like the first just a smidge more, so I would recommend it anyway! And I’m definitely looking forward to the third and seeing how Scarlett’s journey comes to an end.

CLP Blog Tours Book Review: Schoolgirl Cinderella by Priya Narendran

Priya is now on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Schoolgirl Cinderella. This story is a bit of a modern-day Cinderella story, with Briony Duke as our leading lady. Her parents are killed in a car accident when she is ten, and her guardian is set to be an old friend of her fathers, who is not a good person. Mrs. Eyres treats Briony terribly, forcing her to cook and clean for her and her daughter Lucy, who is just as mean-spirited. But Briony tries not to let them beat her, and at seventeen even thinks she finds love with the wealthy Tom Logan. But Mrs. Eyres is set on Lucy nabbing Tom, and is prepared to fight Briony to make sure her daughter lands the eligible bachelor.
I will say that the style Schoolgirl Cinderella is written in through me off at times, but I was actually really invested in the story. It was a cute read and I was constantly intrigued on what Briony was going to do and what her next action would be. Sometimes I couldn’t quite tell what the time period the book was supposed to take place in and there were a few inconsistencies, but I still give it 4 stars because I really enjoyed the story.

Blog Tour Sign Up: Looming Murder by Carol Ann Martin

Della Wright has come to peaceful and picturesque Briar Hollow, at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, to realize her lifelong dream of owning a weaving studio. To promote her new business, Dream Weavers, Della is offering weaving workshops for all levels of ability. In her first class, she meets half a dozen of the town’s colorful characters, who seem as eager to gossip as to learn how to work a loom.

But when a shady local businessman is found murdered, Briar Hollow suddenly appears a lot less idyllic. And when one of her weaving students is suspected of the crime, Della can’t help getting entangled in the investigation—with some help from her criminologist friend, Matthew. But can she weave together clues as well as she weaves together yarn—and stop a killer from striking again?

Blog Tour Sign Up: Getting Skinny by Monique Domovitch

Owning a restaurant is as crazy for Nicky Landry as an alcoholic owning a bar. But despite the fact that she has to cram herself into a body shaper like an over-stuffed cannelloni in order to look somewhat decent in a dress, life is pretty good; she’s about to throw the party of the year for her graduating doctor boyfriend, Rob, who, by the way, she’s pretty sure is going to propose.

Well, life was good – until her boyfriend’s new girlfriend showed up at the party and, after ordering Rob to get his stuff out of her house and get lost, she finds him face-up with her $200 Chroma knife sticking right out of his cheating heart.

As the prime suspect, Nicky is already in plenty of trouble, but thanks to her well-meaning friend, who convinces her to try and clear her name on her own, her problems only multiply. She’s convinced she can solve the murder – if only she can figure out who the skinny person she’d seen Rob walking away with after the party was. Too bad he or she might find – and kill – her first.
