When I pick up a book that takes place during World War 2, I am never 100% sure how many tears I’m going to shed. I often marvel how any story that takes place during a period in history marked by such devastating loss and immeasurable hardship can end up lifting my spirts. Goodnight From […]
After encountering Luther Pell and Raina Kirk from the beginning of the Burning Cove series, I was semi disappointed they hadn’t gotten their own story yet and seemed to be relegated to fascinating side characters as new characters were introduced. Not that I didn’t love these new stories and characters supremely well. Imagine my excitement […]
Tempting Fate is the fourth book in the Goode Girls series. It can absolutely be read as a standalone as I had not read any of the other books prior to this one. Tempting Fate’s hero reminded me slightly of the Phantom of the Opera. A man who hid in the shadows for most of […]
A swashbuckling ‘powder and patch’ early Georgian Era romantic adventure for two vivacious siblings who evaded the purge of Jacobites after Culloden and hide in plain sight amongst London High Society in a sparkling and witty gender bender. Georgette Heyer is most known for her sparkling, light Regency Romance. However, she did not limit herself […]
The Traitor picks up the Rebels and Redcoats Saga right where The Tory ended. I began reading with a hopeful heart and at first it seemed things would improve for my favored characters. But again the author is tearing my heart out, and while fulfilling my need for information about who are the liars and […]

I love Historical Romance, something I’ve mentioned in reviews more than once, and will probably mention again in the future. In a genre that seems dominated by veteran writers, I was pleased to discover a new voice; Evie Dunmore. Her debut novel, Bringing Down the Duke, is the first in series A League of Extraordinary […]
Hit Me With Your Best Scot is the third book in the Wild Wicked Highlanders series. I was a little worried that Cole MacTaggerts’ book wouldn’t be as enjoyable as the other two brothers, as he seemed twice as stubborn and has had a few instances in the other books where he hasn’t come off […]
The Pandemic can be blamed for a lot of crazy behavior on our parts. I’ve been spending an inordinate amount of time binge watching TV shows; and quality doesn’t seem to be a factor. There has been the good (Ted Lasso), the bad (Tiger King) and the ugly (2020 election programming). Of course, I love […]
The Princess and the Rogue is the third book in the Bow Street Bachelors series. The men of the book are war veterans who started a gaming hell after returning from war. Each so far has met their match when the right woman comes into their lives and now it is Seb’s turn to be put […]
