Good for You by Camille Pagán
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I downloaded this to my Kindle library when it was offered as a First Reads promotion on February 2023.
I recommend it to readers of contemporary romance in a world with declining corporate middle-management opportunities, grief, and long-lingering effects of childhood trauma. I took a star away for the implication that the heroine needs a substantial inheritance before she can feel supported enough to
quit a place that underpays its workers.

All This Time by Annabelle McCormack
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I downloaded this to my Nook library from Barnes and Noble's #Free Friday promotion on December 8, 2023.
I recommend it to readers who enjoy contemporary Christmas romance that takes all the stereotypes from a Hallmark movie and makes them so damaged these characters seem to be more like the people that you kinda-know or at least heard about from your friend who enjoys gossip. This story gives you hope they will do better gomg forward because they have learned from some mistakes.

Night Comes Down: A C.T. Ferguson Crime Novel by Tom Fowler
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This ebook was the Serial Reads from Barnes and Noble for December 2023.
It is an entertaining read. I might cast Christian Kane as C.T. Ferguson; but maybe I have been watching too many FreeVee series. Only one chapter a day feels like episodic series with lots of ads.

Never Too Late by Amara Royce
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I downloaded this book in 2014 to my Nook library when it was offered by Barnes and Noble.
I do not feel I can recommend it as I am not sure the author was clear about the themes of the story. Was it to be a throbbing romance; was it a historical fiction about how some tried to rescue women and children from intimidation and sex-trafficking; was it a justification for a romance with partners of different adult ages?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It is likely I will re-read as I practice the steps of behavior Change. I am glad Fogg has the chapter, Untangling Bad Habits: A Systematic Solution because that may help me the most.
