So I read this series out of order, but I don’t think that really matters. I haven’t been paying attention it seems, as Ms. Florand currently has two books out in her newest series, and I hadn’t realized she started one. I read some of her Amour et Chocolat series last year, which resulted in my loving some (The Chocolate Kiss and The Chocolate Touch) and wanting to burn others to the ground (The Chocolate Heart). So when Mrs. J. and Malin said the second […]
A treatise on the state of women in STEM fields. Plus Romance.
Oh, this book. I thought I had my favorite books of the year all figured out, and then emmalita came around saying the newest Milan was awesome. I really didn’t like the first in the Cyclone series, but I’m trusting of such high praise. And it didn’t let me down. This is story of Maria and Jay. Maria and Jay have actually been friends for years, unbeknownst to both of them, on the internet. They meet for the first time due to a mutual friend […]
Julie Anne Long tries her hand at a contemporary romance. She should stick with her historicals…
Julie Anne Long has a lot of credit with me. She wrote What I Did for a Duke, which is a top 5 all time, top 3 historical romance for me. It is wonderful and amazing and you all should go read it right now. I’ll write about this mediocre effort while I wait. Ms. Long has decided to try her hand at contemporaries. Her effort is there. There’s some smolder there, but overall it just wasn’t the same. John Tennessee McCord, famous tv actor, […]
Less romantic and more just tragic
I read the first of Ms. Bowen’s new True North series earlier this year, Bittersweet. It was okay. I skipped her second in the series because recovering drug addicts getting together with ex-girlfriend, whose brother he just happened to kill, aren’t exactly my thing. But I was looking forward to book three, Zachariah, the lovable, quiet farmhand. What a disappointment it was. Zachariah was thrown out from a cult 4 years ago, and has been since living in Vermont as a farmhand. He’s sweet and […]
A soulmates through time romance
So I love Susanna Kearsley. Like, LOVE HER, love her. She wrote The Winter Sea, which is incredible, but honestly all of her books are excellent (even if some feel a little 90’s now). They’re a blend of history, time travel, and romance, with smart, independent heroines and dreamy supportive heroes. Well researched historical fiction with strong romantic elements? Take all my money! When I love an author like this, I don’t go out and read everything they’ve written in a month. I take my […]
Hockey boys fallin’ in love
So I’ve read a lot of Sarina Bowen and highly recommend (minus The Fifteenth Minute, because NO. Just NO.) most of her books. I’ve also read one by Elle Kennedy, and it was okay. Last year they wrote Him, a M/M romance, and beloved sista Ellepkay LOVED it. Like has been on my case since to read it. This year they put out Us, a sequel and continuation of Wes and Jamie’s love story. There’s very rarely sequels in romances (the whole point is the […]
