Darren (2020) by Stella Steele is an enjoyable urban romance short story about two twentysomethings: ambitious rapper, Darren, and Melanie, a beautiful woman he meets at the club where he is performing. They are attracted to each other instantly and at first enjoy each other sexually, but their feelings grow into more. Unfortunately, the differences in their backgrounds present obstacles to their happiness. The story contains explicit language and sexually but has heart as well.

Prairie Justice: The Bounty Hunter, Book Three (2018) by G. Michael Hopf is a western novel that fails to reach its potential. The cover features only Abigail, a female bounty hunter active during the 1890's, but too much of the story is devoted to other characters. Abby is recruited for a job removing squatters but doesn't know it involves murdering entire families, children included. The book has a host of editing issues and bounces from one character's point of view to another frequently in the same scene. Not recommended. July 16, 2025
