Twitter Can Be Fun

Destiny's Surrender by Beverly Jenkins

by 1 Comment

3.5 stars I started following Beverly Jenkins on Twitter because someone told her to “check her white privilege.” Romance twitter is fun and she is fun. (Don’t cross any of the romance authors on twitter though because they will eat you alive.) So today’s my birthday and I found out we share a birthday and it’s all very exciting. Anyhoo, I enjoyed this book. It’s very steamy, Billie is a whore and Andrew is an attorney and land owner. That’s certainly one way to work in more sex scenes in a historical without having a wedding. Their chemistry is great, […]

A shipboard romance that could have been better

The Other Miss Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

by 3 Comments

Oh, I have loved many of Julia Quinn’s books, and adored the Bridgerton saga but I have to say it’s time to let go of that family.  This is the third book in the Rokesby’s series, and much like the first two, this one just didn’t do it for me.  I guess I was hoping that this one was better!  Poppy Bridgerton is the heroine of this one, and is a typical spunky gal who hasn’t been courted and has no marriage prospects despite being pretty and sweet.  While she’s visiting a friend along the coast, she stumbles across a […]

The devil you know

Wicked and the Wallflower by Sarah Maclean

by Leave a Comment

This is book one in the Bareknuckle Bastards series, which has a rather complicated premise that takes the reader a little too long to figure out at the start.  There is a prologue regarding three boys born to three women on the same day that are illegitimate and one girl born the same day who may or may not be a duke’s daughter.  From there the first chapter jumps into action with a mysterious stranger planning to sneak into a ball held in honor of the new Duke of Marwick.  He gets distracted by a young woman who picks a […]

Strong Ending to the Brothers Sinister Series

The Suffragette Scandal by Cour

by Leave a Comment

I have to say that this re-read was really enjoyable. I really did like reading about Free and Edward again. I honestly don’t have much to add from my original review except to say that the book starring Violet pales in comparison to this one. Original review below: The character of Free was introduced to readers in her brother’s book (The Heiress Effect #2) and I was instantly enamored with her. When she tells her brother Oliver that the world had better look out for her I was won over. To have a woman in the time and place fight […]

Re-Read Leaves Me Wanting

The Countess Conspiracy by Courtney Milan

by Leave a Comment

I did this as a Buddy Read with “Romance Book Buddy Reading” group on Goodreads. Good lord, I got nothing. I just realized why this was my least favorite of the Brothers Sinister books. Sebastian and Violet are tedious, all of the science parts did my head in completely, and Violet’s sister is written inconsistently. The way she is initially framed in the story is being protective of her daughter, then Sebastian calls her a viper, and we get a scene where Violet’s sister is upset about her daughter getting an education, and her sister becoming known as an educated […]

Ending the year on a rather mediocre note

The Other Miss Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

by 3 Comments

Miss Poppy Bridgerton is visiting a cousin at the coast when she stumbles upon a strange cave, which happens to be full of smugglers’ goods. When she’s shortly after discovered by two of the smugglers, she finds herself drugged and abducted onto a ship, where the very handsome captain tells her that she can’t be released until after the ship has been to Portugal and back. Poppy is none too happy about this, obviously, but doesn’t really have a choice. She just has to hope that her reputation isn’t completely in tatters by the time she returns. While he has […]

A revenge plot that thankfully goes completely wrong

Wicked and the Wallflower by Sarah Maclean

by Leave a Comment

Felicity Faircloth may be the daughter of an Earl, but she is now on the fringes of society and her family desperately need her to land a rich husband, sooner rather than later, please. She’s not at all happy to discover just how dire the family’s finances are (and that they’ve kept the truth from her for over a year), but she may have just doomed them all, but telling a very inconvenient lie at a ball held by the reclusive Duke of Marwick. The lie – that she’s in fact already betrothed to marry him. Imagine her surprise when […]

The Necco Wafer of Brain Candy

Secrets of a Summer Night: The Wallflowers, Book 1 by Lisa Kleypas

by Leave a Comment

Cbr10bingo Brain Candy For the “Not in my Wheelhouse” square on my bingo card, I reviewed the romance novel The Hating Game, a CBR favorite but not one of mine. In that review, I indicated that I had read another romance novel that I disliked even more than that one, and ladies and gentlemen, here it is. Secrets of a Summer Night is an historical romance, and I thought that the historical part would make up for some of the romance parts that left me cold, but I was wrong. So wrong.  Secrets is book one of a series featuring […]
