The boldly feminist historical romance you need

The Rakess by Scarlett Peckham

Portrait of a Duchess by Scarlett Peckham

by 3 Comments

The second installment in Scarlett Peckham’s Society of Sirens came out this week!! And it was excellent!! And I think everyone should read this series!! I would love to leave this there, but there’s this word count I’m supposed to hit for this to count, so I suppose I’ll give y’all a little more. This series is about “fallen” women who have decided to accept, embrace, and use their tarnished reputations to improve the situation for all women. The heroine of the first, the Rakess […]

Yes, Jackie Lau is my Comfort Read

Pregnant by the Playboy by Jackie Lau

by Leave a Comment

Jackie Lau has become my comfort author since I started reading her a year ago. I’m on her list for advance reader copies. When I get an email that a new arc is available, I do a happy dance. I am giving an honest review. If Lau ever writes a book I hate or find problematic, I’ll let you know. I honestly really enjoyed it, but I can’t say I’m objective. There’s a story about my bff trying to tell me she was pregnant after […]

This is Not How I Should Have Used My Time, But I’m so Glad I Did

Cherish Hard by Nalini Singh

Rebel Hard by Nalini Singh

by Leave a Comment

A few weeks (months? years? what is time?) ago I read the third book in Nalini Singh’s Hard Play series, Love Hard as an advance reader copy from NetGalley. I liked it. I liked it enough that when I had some extra cash I bought the first two books, Cherish Hard and Rebel Hard. I didn’t read them though. After a really stressful morning, I sat down to unwind for a few minutes with a book and ended up reading those two books back to back in just […]

Kind, Tender Romance Heroes for the Win

The Ultimate Pi Day Party by Jackie Lau

by 4 Comments

Apparently incoming global pandemics make concentrating on reading tough for your friendly book club maven. Other than Station Eleven I didn’t finish another book for three weeks. But now that we’re in the “ordered to stay home by my governor” phase I’ve apparently settled in and am ready to return to a semi-normal schedule. So, as the anxiety fog cleared, I remembered that I had intended to read and review The Ultimate Pi Day Party by Jackie Lau for Pi Day on the 14th. I […]

Finally, a Romance Author Who Understands the Importance of Quality Snacks

The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory

by 4 Comments

I accrued some library fines on this book and I’m sending my apology out to the universe for the person behind me in the holds list who is delayed in getting this copy in their hands. That’s what happens when you get six books on interlibrary loan over three days (after none arriving for three weeks), your social calendar gets very full, and you can’t renew this new book (published January 30, 2018 y’all). But I’m also quite glad that I embraced the fines and kept the […]
