Fried Chicken and “Wild Geese”

Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 8 by Rachel Kramer Bussel,

November 22, 2022 by Emmalita 6 Comments

I read erotica for several reasons. One of them is political. Accusations of pornography are thrown around when pushing back against the (small) gains in representation made by BIPOC and queer authors. Side note, a friend told me the parent group at her kids’ school had to argue with someone who claimed the description of a child eating a mango was pornographic. The reasonable parents prevailed, but in too many communities the unreasonable people are succeeding. I’m happy to frustrate a bigot by supporting my […]

Another rogue bites the dust

The Good Girl's Guide to Rakes by Eva Leigh

March 11, 2022 by Mikki Blu 1 Comment

I haven’t read much historical romance lately, and after reading this one I may not again for awhile.  I’d forgotten how formulaic a lot of these books are now, especially by authors that churn out several in a short time.  I really enjoyed Eva Leigh’s earlier books in this genre, but this one was rather predictable.  The basic plot is that three male friends, (who are, of course, hedonistic bachelors who have no real desire to settle down) must find suitable respectable women to marry […]

A sheep in rake’s clothing

My Fake Rake by Eva Leigh

March 17, 2021 by Catticus Finch 1 Comment

This is the first book in the Union of the Rakes series, and it starts off with a scene reminiscent of The Breakfast Club.  Five schoolboys are in detention, though for what is not clearly defined.  It’s really just a device to have the boys form a friendship, and provide a backstory to join them together for the series.  This one focuses on Sebastian Holloway – his adult self is scholarly, bespectacled, unfashionably dressed, impoverished and socially awkward.  He loves his research and spending time […]

Forever Your Earl is not worth your time

Forever Your Earl by Eva Leigh

December 9, 2020 by Nart Leave a Comment

Omg this book. The premise is fantastic. To wit: Plot: a commoner who owns a tabloid is taunted into accepting a exclusive by a rakish Earl who needs to distract the tabloid from a buddy of his that has disappeared until they find him, lest yada yada reputation etc. He takes her to all the places he goes while being a rake to give her a juicy story, shenanigans ensue. So I think the reason I picked up this book was that I had read […]

Two nerdy characters and a make-over fake dating plot – in a Regency romance

My Fake Rake by Eva Leigh

December 27, 2019 by Malin Leave a Comment

Official book description: Lady Grace Wyatt is content as a wallflower, focusing on scientific pursuits rather than the complications of society matches. But when a handsome, celebrated naturalist returns from abroad, Grace wishes, for once, to be noticed. Her solution: to “build” the perfect man, who will court her publicly and help her catch his eye. Grace’s colleague, anthropologist Sebastian Holloway, is just the blank slate she requires. In exchange for funding his passage on an expedition leaving London in a few months, Sebastian allows […]

A dutiful duke and a beautiful courtesan – how will they make it work?

Dare to Love a Duke by Eva Leigh

March 23, 2019 by Malin Leave a Comment

Thomas Powell has just become the Duke of Northfield and has to set aside his previously rakish ways to protect his father’s legacy and ensure a good future for his younger sister. She’s very much in love with the son of one of their father’s most trusted allies in Parliament, who clearly expects Thomas to continue supporting him, whether Thomas actually agrees with his views or not. Torn between duty and his own conscience, Thomas is struggling. The one place he feels at ease, the […]
