This is the first book in the Brooklyn Bruisers series, and came out Fall 2016. Bowen has stuck with hockey, but moved on to the NHL from college stories. I never finished the Ivy Years series, but apparently this hero is the older brother of the hero in The Fifteenth Minute (which I will NEVER read based on the reviews and BethEllen’s warnings). Georgia Worthington is the interim PR head for the Brooklyn Bruisers, an NHL team. On the same day that it is announced […]
Fantasy! Romance! Dragons!
4.5 Stars This book is SO good. As I was reading it I had a lot to say about it, but now that I’m actually writing it up I’m struggling. I will try to make this coherent. Disclaimer: I am not a fantasy reader. I’m not opposed to magic and other worlds in my books, but it’s not what I gravitate towards and not something I read regularly. With that said, if you read fantasy regularly maybe you won’t be as blown away by this […]
Great characters in a middling mystery
This book was one of my lovely CBR8 book exchange gifts from Scootsa1000. It is what I asked for and I was not disappointed. I was up reading this at 2am when my husband woke up and freaked out that I was still awake, so I can thank him for the 5 hours of sleep I got, because I’m sure I would have read until the end of the book/sunrise otherwise. Deanna Randolph is an heiress and debutante in 1895. Her father is a co-owner […]
Nothing like a cozy murder to get you through the holidays
While romance is my genre of choice, when I stray it is always to mysteries. Lately my mystery reading has taken me to the historical and paranormal sub-genres, but my first love was of the cozy variety. I read many of Agatha Christie’s books back in high school but hadn’t read any in 20+ years. I remember liking almost everything she wrote, but the Miss Marple mysteries were my favorite. Something about a woman who is underestimated and overlooked but outwits everyone is very appealing […]
Pales in comparison
I was on such a soccer high after reading Kulti that I put down the 6 other books I am reading to pick up this one. It came out in June this past year, and I actually preordered it because it was a soccer book where both hero and heroine were athletes. Then, I promptly forgot about it until reading Kulti, and J mentioned it in a comment on that review. I should have read this one first. If I had, it would probably have […]
A top book of the year – everything a sports romance should be
This book is in my top 5 for the year. BethEllen lent it to me as soon as she finished it, I got 3 hours of sleep one night because I couldn’t put it down and my sick kids kept waking me up – so why not keep reading?, and I bought my own copy so I can reread at leisure. Soccer is my sport of choice. I played for years and still love watching it. My husband still plays several times a week and […]
