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 […]

Cute But Not Quite the Inspiration I Needed

The Governess Game by Tessa Dare

by 1 Comment

While I had intentions of re-reading a certain novel around Veterans Day, it didn’t quite pan out, and I instead took a break for a fluffy romance novel.  Tessa Dare is one of those romance authors I consider generally reliable, although she can be hit or miss for me.  I absolutely love a few of her novels while others are just fine.  From reviews, I saw that this one was generally entertaining but not necessarily hitting all the right spots for readers. And I have to say I concur.  I also think it was definitely my mindset going in and […]

The artist and the scarred warhero

Last Night with the Earl by Kelly Bowen

by Leave a Comment

3.5 stars Eli Dawes, the current Earl of Rivers, has been presumed dead for several years after Waterloo. Before he defied his father’s wishes and went off to war, he was a handsome, popular and carefree nobleman; now he’s got all manner of scars, both physical and emotional, as well as a healthy helping of guilt for never letting his father know he survived the war. He returns to England for reasons (I don’t remember, it’s been like a month since I finished this), but instead of going to London, he returns to the country house in Dover, where he […]

My favourite thing about this was probably the doll funerals

The Governess Game by Tessa Dare

by 4 Comments

3.5 stars From Goodreads, because I’m a month and a half behind on my reviews: After her livelihood slips through her fingers, Alexandra Mountbatten takes on an impossible post: transforming a pair of wild orphans into proper young ladies. However, the girls don’t need discipline. They need a loving home. Try telling that to their guardian, Chase Reynaud: duke’s heir in the streets and devil in the sheets. The ladies of London have tried—and failed—to make him settle down. Somehow, Alexandra must reach his heart . . . without risking her own. Like any self-respecting libertine, Chase lives by one […]

Overall fun, but super tired of this trope. #CBRBingo

The Governess Game (Girl Meets Duke, #2) by Tessa Dare

by 5 Comments

I do love Tessa Dare, first off. I need to say that right away. Also, that as usual, I’ve had a great time listening to a book of hers. They are always tongue in cheek, silly, and completely anachronistic, and sweet. BUT. There’s this one thing she does that she’s done in her last three published books, and I’ve had enough of it. This book is about Alexandre Mountbatten, who we met last book as Emma’s friend who sets rich people’s clocks to Greenwich Mean Time. But something happens, and she finds herself switching careers out of necessity, to be […]

Double cannonball with a kissing book.

A Gentleman Never Keeps Score (Seducing the Sedgwicks, #2) by Cat Sebastian

by 10 Comments

Cat Sebastian is now six for six. Not a stinker among her published books so far (though to be fair, I haven’t *loved* all of them (Unmasked by the Marquess was fun, but didn’t hit me in my swooners). A Gentleman Never Keeps Score, though saddled with a truly execrable cover*, features more of what I love about her books: two fully realized leads who have good chemistry, and who are kept apart not by asinine plot machinations and outside forces, but by character flaws and life circumstances and their own stubbornness. And any time there is a miscommunication between […]

Clothes Horse Meets Fashion Don’t

Miss Wonderful by Loretta Chase

by Leave a Comment

Bingo Square: Brain Candy With this, I have now completed Loretta Chase’s Carsington Family series, even if I saved the first of the series for last!  This was another solid entry, though there is barely even a mention of Rupert in this novel beyond being lumped in as one of Alistair’s younger brothers (and the one with the grey horses). What can I say, Mr. Impossible remains my favorite of the series, and I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact that Rupert was basically like the Taika Waititi version of Thor. At least y’all won’t have […]

They’re All Grown Up

Last Night's Scandal by Loretta Chase

by Leave a Comment

Peregrine and Olivia have known each other since they were children when his uncle and her mother fell in love in Lord Perfect.  Peregrine has spent most of that time in Egypt with Rupert (my favorite, be still my heart :p ) with only a few short trips home over the years.  As a result, Peregrine is rather surprised to discover that his dramatic, slightly awkward but lively friend has become the most beautiful woman in the room.  Olivia has always felt great affection towards Peregrine, and may have realized a more romantic leaning interest sooner than he did, but […]
