Things We Never Said is another installment in the Harts Boardwalk series by Samantha Young. It’s a second chance romance designed to pull out one’s heartstrings and tie them all up in a knot. Although, seeing as it is Samantha Young, I totally expected that! I’ve eagerly awaited this book since Michael Sullivan’s cameo in […]
A ‘meet-cute’ is a scene, usually in film or TV, in which a future romantic couple meets for the first time. With an adorable, retro-style cover, featuring profiles sipping through a love shaped straw, I picked up Meet Cute by Helena Hunting expecting a romantic comedy. The prologue describes a funny fangirl-esque interlude that made […]
I have a short list of books I’ve tagged as “Always Re-reading.” Those are the books where just looking at the cover, let alone reading them again, brings a smile to my face and gives me the warm-fuzzies. I recently re-read my all-time favorite steampunk novel and was overwhelmed by how amazing it was and […]
The Alex Verus Series is really heating up and each book seems to be getting better. In Taken, book three, Alex and his trusty apprentice, Luna, set out to solve the mystery of missing apprentices, a delicate task full of political pitfalls and powerful magic. The actual ‘who dunnit’ was a little obvious […]
The Ravenels meet The Wallflowers? Are you kidding me? This is a OTP for fans of historical fiction and I did a little dance of joy when I read the tag line for Devil’s Daughter, the fifth book in The Ravenels series by Lisa Kleypas. Of course, West Ravenel has long been one of my […]
Boy Toy is a laugh out loud, nod your head in agreement, sexy romance.. It’s the third installment in the Man Hands series and holds its own next to its predecessors. If you haven’t read the first two, no worries. It works well as a stand-alone, too. It’s the story of Sadie, newly-single mom of […]
When I happen upon a steampunk novel with mainstream popularity, I get very excited. Maybe it’s my love of historical romance and fantasy that draws me to stories where steam power was not eclipsed by the combustion engine, or maybe I just like the costumes. It was with a sense of impending adventure I began […]
I began 2018 with a review of Sarina Bowen’s True North Series. It only seems fitting to finish off the year with another poignant romance in the same series. Speakeasy is the fifth installment in the True North series, where everyday folk navigate love and life in rural Vermont. Alec Rossi is a fun-loving, bar […]
Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor is a vibrant, captivating story about mortals with lives touched by the gods and the fallout of those encounters. While it is characterized as YA, I feel it is a fantasy novel for all ages to enjoy. Lazlo is a dreamer. He bears the name given by all orphans, […]
The Corsair’s Captive is the first book in the Corsairs series. Of course, I must mention that while the heroine is human, the hero is an alien. A big blue alien. Obviously, this isn’t your average contemporary romance. I’m not sure the best way to describe this genre, Sci-Fi Erotica? Alien Romance? Intergalactic Love Story? […]
