March Publications: Romance, Family Drama, Thriller, Women's Fiction

 Here's what's scheduled in March. No I don't feature only reviews but also look at books I plan to read. 


The Strawberry Patch Pancake House, March 18, 2025; HarperCollins, NetGalley. Genre: romance

Single dad Archer moves to Dream Harbor as the new chef of a pancake  house and hires a new nanny. This is the fourth in the Dream Harbor series.

I love that goodreads has listed the tropes in this spring romance:

Tropes:

• single dad
• forced proximity
• slow burn
• found family
• one bed

Hangry Hearts by Jennifer Chen, March 18, 2025; Wednesday Books, NetGalley

A Romeo and Juliet type of romance, with love, food, and families. 

Julie Wu and Randall Hur used to be best friends. Now they only see each other on Saturdays at the Pasadena Farmers Market where their once close families are long-standing rivals. 



I Leave It Up to You by Jinwoo Chong, March 4, 2025; Ballantine, NetGalley. Genre: romance, queer, family

Jack, Jr. wakes up after a two-year coma and returns to his Korean-American community in New Jersey that he had abandoned. He is lost and disoriented but steps back into his family's messy life, their restaurant, and the mentoring of a teenage nephew. Romance is the male nurse who took care of him in the hospital. 



The Writer by James Patterson, J.D. Barker, March 17, 2025; Little, Brown and Company, NetGalley. 

Best selling writer, Denise Morrow is found by Detective Shaw with a murdered woman in her apartment. A psychological thriller, suspense novel.



Counter-Attacks at Thirty by Won-Pyung Sohn, March 11, 2025, HarperVia, NetGalley. Genre: contemporary Asian literature

Four young workers rebel against the hostile work environment at the office and do their best to wreck havoc and mayhem. But they learn something about friendship and unity in the process.
