The Duke’s Shotgun Wedding by Stacy Reid

The Duke’s Shotgun Wedding by Stacy Reid

2.5 stars — Well, that was disappointing.  I recently gobbled up the Sinful Wallflowers series, and so of course I needed to go through Ms. Reid’s books available at my library.  Unfortunately I didn’t realize this book would be a novella, and would leave me feeling like I got hit by a speeding train. To […]

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 […]

What Happens at Con by Cathy Yardley

What Happens at Con by Cathy Yardley

2.5 stars — I probably went into this wary from the little I remembered of Abraham from previous books, and unfortunately he never won me over. I totally understand that there is a WHOLE schwakload of humans out there still fully intrenched in toxic masculinity.  But if my hero is going to be swimming in […]

The Duchess War by Courtney Milan

The Duchess War by Courtney Milan

4.5 stars — Well shit…I think maybe I do like historical romance.  At least when it’s in the right hands.  And look at that, I’ve added another author to my list. Seriously though, I really really really enjoyed this!  Minnie was a delightful heroine — so complex.  She was bright, could be feisty, down to […]

The Governess Affair by Courtney Milan

The Governess Affair by Courtney Milan

4.5 stars — Wow, this one really surprised me!  I don’t even know why exactly, it’s not like I had low expectations necessarily.  I think I was a bit wary of it initially based on not knowing what happened to Serena until part way through (not usually a fan).  But I just kept getting sucked […]

Christmas Polar Bear by Kestra Pingree

Christmas Polar Bear by Kestra Pingree

3.5 stars — There were definitely a lot of fun elements, and I enjoyed the world (even though I may not have always understood what exactly Trinity is…perhaps I should have read book 1 first?).  I will admit that the writing was a bit more basic than what I typically enjoy.  Definitely not bad, but…I […]

Upsy Daisy by Chelsie Edwards

Upsy Daisy by Chelsie Edwards

4.5 stars — I feel like it’s been awhile since I’ve been this emotionally impacted by a story.  Daisy GOT to me.  Like, I felt so hard for her, even despite the HUGE mistakes she was making all over the place.  And it wasn’t just her, Trevor too!  My poor hubby had to try to […]

The Sun and Her Star by Dylan Allen

The Sun and Her Star by Dylan Allen

3.5 stars — There was a lot of feelz going on in this book…my heart isn’t always in the mood for that level of drama and angst, and I’m torn on whether I was in the right mood reading this.  But the thing is that I was sucked in and connected to these characters, even if […]
