Welcome!


Welcome!! My name is Paul Lappen. I am in my early 60s, single, and live in Connecticut USA. This blog will consist of book reviews, written by me, on a wide variety of subjects. I specialize, as much as possible, in small press and self-published books, to give them whatever tiny bit of publicity help that I can. Other than that, I am willing to review nearly any genre, except poetry, romance, elementary-school children's books and (really bloody) horror.

I have another 800 reviews at my archive blog: http://www.deadtreesreviewarchive.blogspot.com (please visit).

I post my reviews to:

booklore.co.uk
midwestbookreview.com
Amazon and B&N (of course)
Librarything.com
Goodreads.com
Books-a-million.com
Reviewcentre.com
Pinterest.com
and on Twitter

I am always looking for more places to post my reviews.

Summer and Joon

 Summer and Joon, Sydney Arrison, Lilactyme Productions, 2021

Set in present-day New York City, Summer is a single mom raising Jacob, who is 4 years old. She shares custody with Dane, whose attempt at a pro basketball career ended before it started. The two exes have a decent relationship.

A few doors away from the diner where Summer works is a print shop run by Joon, who is young and handsome. The two become "an item" pretty quickly. Summer finds herself falling for Joon very fast. It is thrilling and terrifying at the same time. Dane helps, unintentionally, by telling Summer that he plans to marry Carmen, his girlfriend. There is now no reason for Summer not to totally fall in love with Joon.

When is the best time for Summer to introduce Joon to Jacob? Will he accept, or not accept, Joon as part of the family? The relationship between Summer and Joon seems to good to be true? Does all of Joon's family accept Summer? Does fate throw a stone wall obstacle in their path? Will they live happily ever after?

This is a really good tale of two people from very different backgrounds who seem to have found true love. It is very honest and down-to-earth, and romance fans (of which I am not one) will love it. This gets 4 to 4.5 stars.
