Sometimes, scoundrels make the best partners

The Wedding Con by Janine Amesta

September 26, 2025 by Malin Leave a Comment

Thank you to Janine Amesta and Tule Publishing for this ARC. My opinions are my own. This is the second book in the Love is in the Air series, but this book can be read as a standalone as well. If you prefer to start at the beginning, the first one is Love at First Flight (which I literally, just NOW, as I was writing this, realised is a pun on “love at first sight”. Now I feel stupid.) Naomi Moreno wants to help her stubborn and independent older […]

The Guest by Emma Cline

I didn’t think I’d find myself coming back to her work and, even with its interesting premise, I avoided it last year despite its popularity. But once I started, I […]

A kissing book with SCIENCE!

The Lawrence Browne Affair by Cat Sebastian

July 22, 2019 by Malin Leave a Comment

4.5 stars #CBR11 Bingo: Science! One of the protagonists is a scientist and his scientific experiments plays an important part throughout the story. Official book description: Lawrence Browne, the Earl of Radnor, is mad. At least, that’s what he and most of the village believes. A brilliant scientist, he hides himself away in his family’s crumbling estate, unwilling to venture into the outside world. When an annoyingly handsome man arrives at Penkellis, claiming to be Lawrence’s new secretary, his carefully planned world is turned upside down. […]
