    In-Between the Interview Review: Beaufort Manor

    A haunted manor. A mysterious handyman. Two painful pasts. And one deliciously excruciating slow burn. In this episode of In-Between the Interview Review, Scott shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Beaufort Manor by Christine Roi, a ghostly romantic mystery that has officially become one of his new favorite books. Magnolia Howard is not looking for a fresh start. She is looking for somewhere to hide. After leaving Rhode Island with little more than what fits inside her car, she arrives at Beaufort Manor, a decaying estate offering shelter, work, and far more mystery than she expected. Tripp Cole returns to Savannah with one goal: uncover the secrets hidden inside Beaufort Manor. Posing as the handyman gives him the access he needs, but Magnolia is sharper and far more difficult to deceive than he anticipated. As they work together, their growing attraction becomes impossible to ignore. But both are carrying painful histories, and Tripp’s lies could destroy their relationship before it truly begins. Scott discusses the manor’s haunting atmosphere, Magnolia’s journey toward healing, Tripp’s irresistible “touch her and die” energy, the emotional themes of love and loss, and a slow burn that delivers an unforgettable payoff.

    The Writer’s Table with Christine Roi | Beaufort Manor

    Returning author Christine Roi pulls up a chair at Scott’s Table to discuss her newest novel, Beaufort Manor, a story filled with hidden motives, painful histories, mounting attraction, and a decaying Savannah estate that seems to have plans of its own. Magnolia Howard is not looking for a fresh start. She is looking for somewhere to hide. After leaving Rhode Island with little more than what fits in her car, she arrives at Beaufort Manor to restore the aging estate, earn some money, and stay out of sight. Tripp Cole returns to Savannah for one reason: to discover what Beaufort Manor is hiding. Posing as the handyman gives him access to the estate, but working beside the sharp and guarded Maggie makes keeping his true intentions far more difficult. Both are running from painful pasts. As the Manor’s walls begin to come down, so do their defenses. But when the truth is finally revealed, will anything be left standing?

    In-Between the Interview Review: The Keeper of Lost Daughters

    In this episode of In-Between the Interview Review, Scott shares his spoiler-free thoughts on The Keeper of Lost Daughters by Veronica Leigh, a powerful historical fiction novel about motherhood, sacrifice, survival, and the families created during history’s darkest moments. In Nazi-occupied Krakow, Lidia Sobieska discovers a Jewish baby abandoned on her doorstep. Accompanied by a letter begging her to save the child from the Nazis, the baby quickly becomes Lidia’s daughter, Sophie. As conditions worsen, Lidia also takes in Eva, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl who desperately needs somewhere safe to hide. Together, they form a family while Lidia risks everything to conceal her daughters’ identities and protect them through the war. Years later, a man appears at Lidia’s door claiming to be Sophie’s biological father. After surviving unimaginable horrors, he has come to bring his daughter home. His arrival forces everyone to confront painful questions about motherhood, identity, family, and what happens when two parents love the same child. Scott discusses the novel’s striking authenticity, Lidia’s extraordinary courage, the heartbreaking experiences of Sophie’s biological parents, and the hope these characters preserve despite the darkness surrounding them.

    In-Between the Interview Review: Splice & Sacrifice

    One fearless woman. Six immortal shifter bachelors. Three chances at true love. What could possibly go wrong? In this episode of In-Between the Interview Review, Scott shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Splice & Sacrifice by GiGi Zarbi. Nala is thirty-two, single, and far more interested in her fictional book boyfriends than dating another disappointing Steve from Tinder. When a mysterious stranger with gills invites her to join an interplanetary matchmaking program, Nala gets the chance to meet six handsome immortal shifters and potentially find up to three true loves. The first book set Scott’s expectations incredibly high, and Splice & Sacrifice delivered in spades. The relationships continue to grow, the humor creates plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, and the suspense and unexpected twists make this nearly impossible to put down.
