You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian
Lucky Bounce by Cait Nary
A couple of weeks ago, I was on my way to see Cat Sebastian. (Okay, I was heading to Unbound Book Festival to speak on a panel, but a great deal of my excitement was the ability to spend a little bit of time with Cat, who I had met before, and who I know to be a delightful person. Also, she was one of two people I would know at this thing, and I intended to latch on in the most awkward way possible.) […]
Witchmark by C.L. Polk
CBR Bingo: Rec’d I read Witchmark by C.L. Polk for the HEA book club at The Ripped Bodice. In this world, magic is real and only wielded by the nobles. They use it to control the weather and maintain order in society. Anyone who shows the mark of a witch is dangerous and somehow uses evil magic, unlike the nobles. Our protagonist Miles has returned from the war and works at a hospital. The enemy country has surrendered and all the soldiers are coming home. […]
Something Fabulous by Alexis Hall
Quickly on the heels of reading Alexis Hall’s Boyfriend Material last month I requested Something Fabulous from the library keen to see how Hall’s voice translated from contemporary romance to historical. The verdict: mostly quite good with moments of brilliant, but also moments of not good at all. I’ve gone with a 3.5 rounded up for this one. We’ve got the story here of Valentine Layton, the Duke of Malvern, and his twin problems: Belle and Bonny Tarleton. Operating under his deceased father’s desire for […]
The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian
The Queer Principles of Kit Webb is Sebastian’s trade paperback debut and I’m excited for the people who get to discover her work with this outing. There were times during The Queer Principles of Kit Webb that I was reminded of the first Cat Sebastian I ever read (her debut) The Soldier’s Scoundrel. There’s a class difference, one character making their living on the wrong side of the law, and a major injury. Plus, I really, really liked it. Sebastian writes steamy, upbeat historical romances […]
Slippery Creatures by KJ Charles
The Sugared Game by KJ Charles
When KJ Charles initially announced the three book Will Darling Adventures series, it looked like it would all be released in 2020 and so I thought I would read all three and then review them together. However, 2020 is awful and apparently it’s hard to write when the world is on fire and your government is trying to kill you (KJ Charles is British). I have given in and decided to review the first two books without waiting for the third. Will Darling has returned […]
Starcrossed by Allie Therin
Starcrossed is a sequel to Spellbound and in no way stands on it’s own. We dive right in to the continuing adventures of Rory and Arthur (aka Ace). As the book opens, they have left Manhattan and are spending time at Ace’s brother’s family home, where Rory and Ace can’t let anyone know they are a couple. As much as they were able to resolve in Spellbound, they live in a world hostile to gay men. Ace has too high a social profile to be even […]
