Indigo by Beverly Jenkins
Wow. Sorry to say but this is probably the first Ms. Beverly Jenkins book I have read that I struggled with. I think it’s just because this one is packed with too much stuff. We have Hester helping the Underground Railroad. We have Hester dealing with her former fiancée and his now wife. We have Hester dealing with the attentions of slave catcher. And that’s before you add in all of the Galen stuff. This book could have easily been broken into a duology with […]
Tommy Cabot Was Here (The Cabots, #1) by Cat Sebastian
This was a very sweet second chance romance novella set in 1959. I don’t normally like second chance romances all that much, but in this case, Sebastian plays it perfectly. Our two main characters went to an all-boys school for almost their entire childhoods, and Everett was in love Tommy for most of it. But Tommy married a woman, moved away, and the two of them stopped speaking. Now in their thirties, Everett is a teacher at their old school, and Tommy has made the […]
The Highlander's Stolen Bride by Madeline Martin
Elspeth is on her way to wed a childhood friend when she is abducted by Calum Campbell, who hopes to use her as a bargaining chip to gain an audience with her brother.

Though it was slow going at first, I soon got sucked into this story of warring clans and unlikely romance. Calum’s gentle nature provides an interesting […]
The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by K.J. Charles
Seriously, K.J. Charles is always a good time, but this one didn’t hit me in my swooners like some of her other stuff has. Maybe one swooner, a couple times. But it was still really good! Just probably won’t be on my re-read rotation. This is apparently the book she wrote to get her creative juices flowing again when she was stuck on the third Will Darling book. I’ve been saving it for a day when I needed something joyful and that I knew would […]
