| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  Jo Goodman's A Touch of Flame, book two in the "Cowboys of Colorado" series, is one of two starred fiction titles this week. "After producing dozens of books, Goodman might have written her best one yet. Highly recommended." In nonfiction, Richard Thomson's Monet and Architecture "puts architecture in context as an element of the artist’s work to create, part of his rare blend of 'the picturesque, the modern, and the mysterious.'" Jérôme Ruillier's graphic novel about the plight of immigrants and refugees, The Strange, is "as moving as it is timely and provocative." Translated from French by Helge Dascher, the book "manages to dramatize and humanize a story most readers will identify with from headlines and politician talking points." And in e-originals, "those attracted to the enemies-to-lovers plot will enjoy" Lindy Zart's Love Without a Compass. "Some of the drama may seem a bit far-fetched, but it works to make the love story affecting and keep the pages moving."
