3.5 stars — This book was slower than I was expecting. I had a hard time getting drawn in. Sometimes it was so freaking easy, and I was enthralled and excited. But it was a lot of up and down, and the slow parts dragged for me. I’m glad I read it to see the […]
4.5 stars — After reading Devil in Spring, I knew I needed to go back and read Evie and Sebastian’s book, and it didn’t disappoint. I can’t believe how much I enjoyed this one, considering that Sebastian could be a real dick at times. I will admit I wish that we had learned a bit […]
4.5 stars — This was delightful, and what I’ve come to expect from Ms. Dare — quirky sassy characters in unconventional romances. This was my first time listening to Ms. Rose as a narrator, and she was not bad. I found it wasn’t always as easy to tell apart her voices, they weren’t always consistent […]
5 stars — This book delighted me from start to finish. Like, I can’t even tell you how much, it was just perfection for me. I always knew I was going to be fascinated by Pandora, but there was even more to her than I had been expecting. It’s strange how learning about one physical […]
4.5 stars — Well that was a whole heap of delightfulness, and while it gave me anxiety at times, it also gave me so much happiness and smiles and swoons and giggles too. It actually lived up to my expectations, and that is always a pleasant surprise! As always, I adored Mary Jane Wells as […]
3.5 stars — Once again I will preface this review by saying I don’t read a lot of historical romance…they are definitely outside my wheelhouse. But a few books in this series have been recommended to me, so I started at the beginning. The funny thing is, I really enjoyed myself, but I don’t think […]
3.5 stars — Let me preface this review by saying I don’t read a lot of historical romances…in fact, I read very few. I’ve read a few that I loved and wanted to expand my interests, but it’s not something I gravitate towards. So basically, if you’re a fan of this genre, maybe take my […]
3.5 stars — While I still enjoyed this book, I will admit I didn’t connect with it and get sucked in as much as I’d hoped. I think I’m likely to be pretty picky with my historical romances. I think I was thrown off by all the political things going on not quite in the […]
OVERALL: 3.5 stars — Solid anthology, but since I’m not much of a historical romance reader, I kind of didn’t give that last book a chance because I ran out of steam, you know? Also, the narrator was solid. I’d listened to another book by Ms. Eyre and wasn’t as impressed, but maybe I need […]
4 stars — You know what I love? The combination of Mary Jane Wells narrating Tessa Dare words. I’m not sure I can even explain it, but Ms. Wells brings out the fun and sass in Ms. Dare’s characters. Warning, in order for my review not to be slightly spoilery, I’m going to refer to […]
