4 stars — Ah yes, another review I wrote in short form, and now I’m too lazy to expand and make it more readable…you get what you get. I LOVED the nerdy stuff, and was fascinated by how complicated it would be to be a woman with intellectual pursuits in this time period. I also […]
4 stars — I wasn’t sure how this book was going to play out, but I found 90% of it to be absolutely delightful, and I loved it! I’ll get to the other 10% later. I loved learning about yet more pieces of world history that I knew nothing about — in this case the Cuban […]
4 stars — This one had a fantastic start, I really enjoyed the unconventional relationship between Drew and Billie. You could feel the connection, even as they both hid behind their roles. Then it got kind of crazy, and I was not impressed with the high tempers of Drew and Billie. Thank goodness for Alanza […]
4.5 stars — Well that was fucking delightful. It brought me back to when I first discovered romance books, and how easy it was to fall in love with characters and a romance. Mariah had so many elements of my favourite kinds of heroines, and I absolutely adored her. I ached for what she went […]
3.5 stars — I’ve only recently gotten into historical romance, and I’m probably pretty picky about it. While this didn’t wow me like Ms. Kleypas or Ms. Dare, for a debut it was pretty solid. This was my first time listening to Ms. Jasicki, but I really enjoyed her. It’s funny, something about her accent […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
