Hello! I'm Melony Teague

Thanks for popping in. Welcome. Do make yourself at home and have a look around. Grab a cup of something hot and hopefully caffeinated, and let me tell you a little bit about myself...

What Makes You Laugh?

The funny thing about humor is that laughing at ourselves is a healthy practice. Nowadays, we need this more than ever. We can't take ourselves too seriously all the time. Yes, there are times when we must be serious, sit up, or rather stand up for something important, and I'm all for that. I am. In order to combat our culture's striving for perfection, I think we need to come to terms with the fact that perfection is elusive and unattainable and get on with being real and honest with ourselves. (I don't mean air out your dirty laundry for all the world to see, but we can let our humanity show a bit, and then tuck it back in when need be.)

    In Search of a Prince by Toni Shiloh

    February 21, 2022 /

    A swoony romance? Yes, please! MY REVIEW There has been a lot of anticipation in the book world for this book, and I could not wait for my copy to arrive! Well, let’s just say, from the first pages, I was invested and this book did not disappoint. In Search of a Prince is a delight and at some points, I just could not read fast enough to find out what the outcome would be. I read late into the night. Would Brielle get her happy-ever-after ending? Why do I need to sleep anyways? When I woke up, the book was straight back into my hands. The hero of this…

    Until Leaves Fall in Paris by Sarah Sundin

    February 18, 2022 /

    MY REVIEW Let’s talk about the cover first. All of Sarah Sundin’s covers are gorgeous, but this one makes me want to get on a plane and head to Europe, STAT. Until Leaves Fall in Paris is a page-turner and had me thoroughly entertained. When the world around me these days is a little crazy, I like to escape into a historical fiction novel. This one, although set in Paris during the Nazi invasion was an eye-opener. Seeing Europe in those days through the eyes of a ballerina was delightful and also stirred up the right amount of empathy for people living in those times. Lucie experiences the change in…

    Provenance by Carla Laureano

    February 10, 2022 /

    I’m a huge fan of Carla Laureano’s since I read Five Days in Skye. If you have not read it, DO SO NOW! But I digress, I’m here today to review her latest, Provenance.   MY REVIEW First, let me say that my review pertains to the audiobook since that is the form in which I enjoyed this story. The audiobook was exceptionally well done. This story explores what it means to belong, to find your place, and what family can mean, even if it doesn’t quite look like what we’d imagined it to. Provenance is another winner and kept me listening. I was rooting for Kendall and Gabriel and…

    Lights Out by Natalie Walters

    February 3, 2022 /

    Lights Out is the first book in the SNAP Agency Series. Here is my review:   MY REVIEW Lights Out is the first book in the series and we get to know Brynn Taylor and Jack Hudson. Both with history. For readers who like to actually breathe between chapters, this romantic suspense is engaging while keeping your heart rate at a steady pace.  Dealing with National security and presidential safety all the puzzle pieces slowly fall into place to give an engaging story while we get to know this cast of characters. I really hope we get to read Kekoa’s story next. If you read this book, you’ll see why.…

    The Veteran’s Vow by Jill Lynn

    January 24, 2022 /

      It is no secret that Jill Lynn is one of my “go-to” authors. I don’t even read the blurb, I just know I’m gonna love it. So here is my review of her latest. MY REVIEW The Veteran’s Vow was a refreshing read for me because I got to see a glimpse of what service dogs really do. Margo almost stole the show….in a good way, almost. I mean Behr only just bested him in stealing the spotlight, but it was close in my book. Ellery and Behr’s story was compelling and I pretty much could not put the book down until I knew what was going to happen…

    Life Flight by Lynette Eason

    January 19, 2022 /

    Oh my goodness, get ready for a book gush! MY REVIEW So you know you can sometimes read “praise for” the book on the cover, right? Well, those endorsements promised that Life Flight could not be put down from page one. They were not wrong. Phwew! In true Lynette Eason style, Life Flight starts off in the action. The reader is basically at the edge of their seat up to the last page. If you like that fast paced romantic suspense then this one is for you. Penny Carlton’s job is stressful, but add on a serial killer on the loose and things pick up a notch. It just builds…

    To Disguise the Truth by Jen Turano

    January 12, 2022 /

    MY REVIEW There is nothing better for curing a bad day than opening the pages of a Jen Turano book. This one did not disappoint. I think I should start calling her books my therapy reads. To Disguise a Truth is the last of the Bleeker Street Series and brought the series to a satisfying conclusion after much shenanigans and skullduggery. Eunice’s story finally comes to light and we find out why she had been hiding behind her widow’s weeds and weeping veils. This cast of quirky characters offers an entertaining read and a break from reality we all need these days. This book was provided by the publisher and…

    Every Word Unsaid by Kimberly Duffy

    January 6, 2022 /

    MY REVIEW I have been a fan of Kimberly Duffy’s books since her debut came out and I love that she transports her readers through time and space to India. This historical delves into some sensitive issues that were present in the day, including the bubonic plague. Augusta’s story is riveting especially with the introduction of her childhood friends, especially Gabriel. And let’s just say that Gussie’s uncle is a favorite too. This historical by Duffy has it all, adventure, romance, conflict and resolution. And on top of that, her vivid depiction of the scenes bring India to life. Highly recommended. Book has been provided courtesy of Baker Publishing Group and…

    Tacos for Two by Betsy St. Amant

    I cannot believe it has taken me this long to read a St. Amant book, but here I am. I’ve heard good things. MY REVIEW Don’t get me wrong, I love a good classic ROM COM. But I love an updated one with a nod to the classics even better! Texting, yes! Smart and zinging texting, yes please! Betsy St. Amant Haddox provided a solid bit of entertainment that successfully had me rooting for Rory and  Jude. Mexican food and food trucks, and then add a contest and you have a winning recipe. Spiced with a dash or two of romance mixed in with situation comedy and you have the…

    The Do-Over by Bethany Turner

    November 8, 2021 /

    Bethany Turner is one of my go-to, feel-good, time-to relax authors. That has not changed and here’s why:   MY REVIEW I have read all of Bethany Turner’s Rom Coms and without a doubt, I think this one is her best. The character development was extremely satisfying and the story so vivid, it was like watching a movie unfold in my head, but better because I could read McKenna’s mind (well, read her point of view, the same thing). As always, I cleared my schedule and read this book from cover to cover. What a delight. Honestly, Bethany Turner just keeps getting better and better and she has really leaned…
