On August 31, 1886, a massive earthquake centered near Charleston, South Carolina, sent shock waves as far north as Maine, down into Florida, and west to the Mississippi River. When the dust settled, residents of the old port city were devastated by the death and destruction.
Upheaval in Charleston is a gripping account of natural disaster and turbulent social change in a city known as the cradle of secession. Weaving together the emotionally charged stories of Confederate veterans and former slaves, Susan Millar Williams and Stephen G. Hoffius portray a South where whites and blacks struggled to determine how they would coexist a generation after the end of the Civil War. This is also the story of Francis Warrington Dawson, a British expatriate drawn to the South by the romance of the Confederacy. As editor of Charleston's News and Courier, Dawson walked a lonely and dangerous path, risking his life and reputation to find common ground between the races. Hailed as a hero in the aftermath of the earthquake, Dawson was denounced by white supremacists and murdered less than three years after the disaster. His killer was acquitted after a sensational trial that unmasked a Charleston underworld of decadence and corruption. Combining careful research with suspenseful storytelling, Upheaval in Charleston offers a vivid portrait of a volatile time and an anguished place.Binding Type: Paperback

Second-chance, slow-burn sapphic romance
Format: Paperback
"Firecamp" by Jaycie Morrison is a second-chance sapphic romance that includes an emotionally-charged slow burn romance and a time-jump.
MCs Nora and Fallon come from very different circumstances, but are thrown together along with six other women at Firecamp where they all must work to help mitigate wildfires. Both emotionally immature and carrying their own baggage, Nora and Fallon's young romance ends with a bang. Ten years later, with their careers leading the way, they are forced back together. What follows is a slow burn, second-chance romance that is less naive but no less passionate.
This was my first book by Jaycie Morrison, but it definitely won't be my last. I really enjoyed the way she developed Nora & Fallon independently and together as well as the "side action" that we saw with Nora's family, especially her younger brother Tyler. I was initially drawn to the story because it was set in the Colorado wildfire scene & I loved how that was portrayed.
Thank you NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for the eARC.

Had high hopes, but didn't hit the mark
Format: Paperback
I wanted to like this one a lot more than I did. A sapphic romance set in the wilderness doing fire mitigation is right up my alley, but Firecamp just didn't hit the mark for me. The pacing was clunky, and ultimately I was left frustrated wondering when it would end. The author went into way too much detail chronicling the itty bitty events, and didn't spend nearly enough time on the MCs actual personal growth or relationship. It often felt like "well they're together because they're supposed to be."
All in all, I feel bad leaving a negative review because we need more sapphic stories BUT I do feel like this could have benefitted from some more story-specific editing, not just grammar/spelling.

The Colombo Family Duet
Format: Kindle
Another amazing mafia romance duet!
Widowed Brie "Breezy" Colombo teams up with a reluctant Dominika "Nik" Kusek to try and solve her husband's murder. Nik is tasked to be Brie's bodyguard as they dodge hit men, play in mafia politics, and look for any clues that could lead them to a killer.
There was action, mystery, loyalty, betrayal, passion, lots of steam... it was all around awesome! I breezed through both books in one day!

Great Story.
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed the none stop action and the thrilling suspense of who killed Terry Colombo as well as who put out hits to kill Brie. Also liked the simmering romance between Brie and Dominika "Nik" Kusek. I was little disappointed that there were no specific detail of there height just vague description. Though it did not change my opinion of this story, or the number of stars given. I found this story very entertaining and exciting to read. I can't wait to read what happens next in book 2. I whole heartily recommend this story to everyone that loves a little danger with their romance.
