An Urchin of Means by April White

An Urchin of Means by April White

4.5 stars — Ahhhh!!!  This was sooooo good!  It totally lived up to my expectations for Ringo and Charlie’s new life together, and I’m only sad that there aren’t more books in the series already written!  What am I going to do with myself? I honestly COULD NOT put this down once I started listening […]

Out of Time by April White

Out of Time by April White

5 stars — Since I’d read the box set of the first 3 books and they weren’t updated with the new epilogues, this was the first time I was able to read them.  I kind of loved getting a Ringo-related summary and then getting to see the epilogues in a row like that, it really […]

Death’s Door by April White

Death’s Door by April White

4 stars — I just love how Ms. White packs so much into her books.  I honestly feel like my favourite part is reading the Author’s Note at the end and finding out which elements were based in fact and where she took liberties to make it work in this world. I have read the […]

Cheating Death by April White

Cheating Death by April White

4.5 stars — This was a seriously solid series ender!  While there are a few things that I ponder over, in general it wrapped things up really well, answering questions and setting everything into a good position where I can imagine this world continuing on. Saira really felt like she came into her own throughout […]

Waging War by April White

Waging War by April White

4 stars — The realities of WWII as presented through Saira’s eyes was just…HARD.  Like so many people, I’m morbidly fascinated by that war, but I purposely avoid it because it’s just really hard to take.  And it was hard here.  We got to see amazing people, and horrific monsters, and also all the in between […]

Changing Nature by April White

Changing Nature by April White

4 stars — This series just keeps getting better and better as we get to know the characters and the world more!  I think I even had a brilliant theory appear at the end there and I can’t wait to find out if my theory is correct! There were definitely elements that were heartbreaking and […]

Tempting Fate by April White

Tempting Fate by April White

3.5 stars — I will admit that I stayed up pretty late into the night finishing this one, because I just really wanted to know what was going to happen.  I think if I was a history buff, I would enjoy these books even more.  As it is, I really haven’t retained much about British […]

Marking Time by April White

Marking Time by April White

3.5 stars — I read this in a boxed set, so didn’t have the updated 10th anniversary editions.  I will admit that I found the story to read a bit jumbled, especially in the beginning.  It feels like we’re thrown in, and then plot things just keep happening and happening, but we haven’t really had […]

Code of Ethics by April White

Code of Ethics by April White

4.5 stars — OK, I’m just going to say it.  This is my favourite series in the Smartypants Romance Universe.  It never lets me down.  It always brings so much more than just a romance (which, there’s nothing wrong with romance — I fucking LOVE romance…it’s all I read).  But seriously, it introduces me to […]

Code of Honor by April White

Code of Honor by April White

5 stars — AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!  I have the BIGGEST GIRL CRUSH IN HISTORY!!!!  I remember Code of Conduct being my favourite book (that I read) from Smartypants Romance Launch #1, and Ms. White was a new author to me at that time.  So I had high hopes for this story, but anything can happen, you know?  […]
