As I’ve Said. Born Romantic.

Headliners by Lucy Parker

by 3 Comments

Lucy Parker’s London Celebrity series has been one of my favorite romance series of the past few years. In general, they have been loosely connected, with characters from previous books showing up in later books. However, until Headliners, they have been stand alone books. In order to understand an important division between the MCs in Headliners you will need to have read The Austen Playbook. I will do my best to avoid spoilers, but you can assume that Freddy and Griff have ended up happily together. Near the end of The Austen Playbook, a Carlson family secret came out and was scooped by […]

Oh, it’s a SERIES…. oops.

The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory

by Leave a Comment

I did not realize until I was finished this book, that it’s actually #2 in a series. It didn’t really matter in terms of this story, but there’s a part of me that gets really irked by reading books out of order (even if the connection is loose). The Proposal starts at a Dodgers game, where Nikole is surprised by a scoreboard proposal from her boyfriend of five months… in which he even spelt her name wrong. She has no problem refusing the proposal, but an instant media frenzy begins. She is mercifully rescued and whisked away by Carlos, who is […]

Cute little novella, really liked this one.

Can't Escape Love (Reluctant Royals, #2.6) by Alyssa Cole

by Leave a Comment

This was stinking adorable. I enjoyed it so much! I’ve been waiting since I read the first book for Reggie’s story, back when we first heard about her GirlsWithGlasses website. That felt like something you don’t just introduce and then leave alone. I would say that I wish she would have gotten a full book rather than a novella, except that I think this book was exactly the right size. Any longer and it would have dragged. Reggie reaches out to an internet acquaintance when he takes down the archive of his livestreams, an archive which she had previously been […]

Sex Mystery sounds like a genre I want to read much more of.

Hither, Page (Page & Sommers, #1) by Cat Sebastian

by Leave a Comment

Well, the sex part of this certainly wasn’t as prevalent as the mystery, but it did deliver on Sebastian’s other promise, which was “Agatha Christie, but make it gay.” Small English village, check. The mysterious murder of one of their own, check. The discovery that the small village is hiding a bunch of secrets, check. An outsider coming in to unearth those secrets, check. Lonely spy falls in love with traumatized country doctor, check. This was very sweet in terms of the romance, and pretty clever in terms of the mystery (although I think I would have liked it better […]

I Really Need to Find a Trivia Team

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman

by Leave a Comment

This is the kind of book I wanted and expected when I picked up Matchmaking for Beginners. This was sweet and charming, and absolutely perfect for the moment. Nina never knew her dad and her mother is a world traveling photographer. Nina, on the other hand, is perfectly happy with a relatively contained life and uses books as her escape from reality. She rents a guest house which is perfectly arranged for her needs, has a cat, trivia team and book clubs, and works at a local bookstore in a neighborhood in LA. She has a few close friends, she […]

Give a little love

The Love Letter by Anika Aldamuy Denise

by Leave a Comment

What do you feel when you find a letter on the ground? One that has a poetic love note attached? Why, you feel all sorts of things! And when Hedgehog, Bunny and Squirrel find such a letter, some mix-ups might occur, but in the end, they all learn what The Love Letter is really about. Anika Aldamuy Denise’s story about friendship is sweet and cozy. While a bit predictable to the adult reader, a child might be surprised about who wrote (and why they wrote) the special letter that sets off a chain of lovely (and sometimes even a little […]

Prince Harry in disguise?

A Prince on Paper by Alyssa Cole

by 2 Comments

I’ve seen Alyssa Cole books around for a little while, and they looked interesting. I was going to read Duke by Default but a scene in the beginning turned me off. I didn’t ever get into it. So, instead, I eventually picked up A Prince on Paper (2019). I think I was intrigued because the character of Johan reminded me of Prince Harry and I wondered if that was done on purpose. Now I realize I probably should have started with the first book in the series. After some events in A Princess in Theory that I did not read, Nya is coming home to Thesolo […]
