A Scoundrel of Her Own by Stacy Reid

A Scoundrel of Her Own by Stacy Reid

4.5 stars — Well, I am entirely addicted to these books. This one had some parallels to another historical I read that I ended up being disappointed in…and this book basically did all the things I was hoping for with the other one. We have a wonderful prologue that I was not expecting, and it […]

Her Wicked Marquess by Stacy Reid

Her Wicked Marquess by Stacy Reid

4.5 stars — Oh wow, that was a ride from start to finish. It’s funny, b/c I am not a fan of domineering males…or villainous ones.  And I’m not saying that Nicolas was necessarily either of those things, but he was definitely a shades of gray kind of hero.  And all I can say is […]

My Darling Duke by Stacy Reid

My Darling Duke by Stacy Reid

4.5 stars — You know what I love??  Truly good main characters, who, despite their flaws and missteps, I still can’t help but love.  And yeah, I DEFINITELY loved Alexander and Kitty. I marked this one as a fairy tale retelling, but it is VERY loose.  They even mention the story in the story, which […]

Garnet Flats by Devney Perry

Garnet Flats by Devney Perry

3.5 stars — I will admit, I read some friends reviews for this book and went in prepared to be annoyed and frustrated, and so I think I was better able to just gloss over the cliché plot aspects, and bad decisions by some characters because I was expecting them.  It’s weird how that works […]

Coming Home by Kennedy Ryan

Coming Home by Kennedy Ryan

4 stars — That’s what I call a solid romance novella.  The perfect amount to draw me in, but still leave me satisfied in the end. These two narrators were new to me, and I must admit I think I have a girl crush on Ms. Siobhan now.  I’ll definitely be looking for more from […]

If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy

If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy

4.5 stars — This book surprised me in the best possible ways, and I made the mistake of starting it before bed, which consequently had me up until almost 2am reading.  A previous Lenore wouldn’t have been able to put it down even then, but I’m getting old people… I thought I knew what I […]

The New Guy by Sarina Bowen

The New Guy by Sarina Bowen

4.5 stars — This one hit me right where I wanted it to, it had just the right amount of heart, humour, chemistry and depth. I really enjoyed both narrators, though I will admit that I had a harder time in this one distinguishing different voices and between thoughts and dialogue…but again, that could have […]

Fire Baptized by Kenya Wright

Fire Baptized by Kenya Wright

3.5 stars — Despite being absolutely thrilled to have a heroine with *almost* my first name, I was a bit taken aback by the start of the book.  We’re definitely thrust into a dystopian nightmare and a trigger scenario (warning).  And while I am definitely intrigued by this bizarre world that Ms. Wright set up, […]

End of Story by Kylie Scott

End of Story by Kylie Scott

4 stars — I was a little worried about the woo woo aspect of the story, but for me it was just a plot device, and remained a solid contemporary romance.  And while this story was light in some aspects, I really appreciated how it brought about these conversations about what makes a relationship long […]
