I will never turn down a Quinn Ivins book. The storytelling is always fresh and inviting. Her sharp and intuitive craftsmanship generates some of the most entertaining and engaging fiction one will find in this genre. Something’s Different is first-rate romance writing, and another fine example of why Ivins should be an auto purchase for those that adore love stories.

I don’t want to give anything away and ruin the read, but know this romance will keep readers on their toes. Ivins adds an element of “mystery and suspense” to the plot that keeps everyone wondering how Caitlyn and Ruth will work through their unusual situation and get their HEA. That’s the beauty of this tale, though. It’s so well-structured and well-woven, one can’t turn away. Readers will have to see how these two lovely and brilliantly written characters meet in the middle and embrace romance. And when they do, readers will be delighted—because these two (or should I say three??) ladies are virtually impossible to resist!

Final remarks…

Ivins just keeps getting better and better. With each new book, her characters grow to be more interesting and likable, and her storytelling manifests more charming and entertaining tales. Something’s Different is different, but in a very good way! If you love smart, original and freshly written romances, you won’t want to miss this one.
