This has got to be the most misleading title ever

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Today is June 30th and the end of Pride month. How very fitting that I finished The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo today. This book is queer as hell, and I had no idea going in. I just knew that I loved Daisy Jones and the Six by Reid, and this book came highly praised by friends and Cannonballers alike. I loved nearly every moment of it.

The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by K.J. Charles

by 1 Comment

This book is light hearted and frothy as a Regency can be in K.J. Charles’ hands.  She has stated that she wrote this to take a break from writing a different one and threw in a lot of the usual tropes.  And it was a lot of fun! Robin and Marianne Loxleigh of Nottinghamshire (hmmm…Locksley?) have arrived in London to find suitable marriage partners.  Short on cash, they aren’t much different than the women seeking to marry a lord, they are just more honest about […]
