The boldly feminist historical romance you need

The Rakess by Scarlett Peckham

Portrait of a Duchess by Scarlett Peckham

March 10, 2023 by Owlizabeth 3 Comments

The second installment in Scarlett Peckham’s Society of Sirens came out this week!! And it was excellent!! And I think everyone should read this series!! I would love to leave this there, but there’s this word count I’m supposed to hit for this to count, so I suppose I’ll give y’all a little more. This series is about “fallen” women who have decided to accept, embrace, and use their tarnished reputations to improve the situation for all women. The heroine of the first, the Rakess […]

Charming start to CBR15

Snowdrift and Other Stories by Georgette Heyer

January 1, 2023 by ElCicco 2 Comments

I found this collection thanks to one of the many articles that pop up in my social media recommending various types of book to me. I can’t remember what the list was (I think it was some sort of recommendations from the New York Public Library), but given last month’s arrival of snowstorm Elliot plus the overwhelming amount of holiday stuff I had to do, a collection of short stories set in the Regency period seemed like a fun diversion. And it absolutely was! If […]

“He was one barely powered magician with nothing but a tendency to let books replace people in his life.”

A Marvellous Light (The Last Binding, #1) by Freya Marske

August 5, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

This is, what, like, the tenth book this year I have not wanted to review because I liked it too much? I hate that. Plus also I read it almost two months ago so the details of what I wanted to say about it have escaped me. Mostly, I really, really liked it! This book takes place in a world where there is a magical secret society hidden in plain sight, and one of our main characters, Robin Blyth, is accidentally assigned to a magical […]

Castles

Castles by Julie Garwood

August 1, 2022 by Classic 2 Comments

Trigger warning: I just realized in the end, we’re dealing with a serial killer in this one. It gets graphic at times, but it didn’t put me off. Just wanted to point out to potential readers.  This was a great way to end the series. I would have loved one more book in the series, but there was really no one else left to follow. I loved the characters of Alesandra and Colin and thought they worked great together. The ending of the book was […]

The Gift

The Gift by Julie Garwood

August 1, 2022 by Classic 2 Comments

Trigger warning: It’s not shown, but we do know that one of the woman in this book is being physically abused.  Wow. This one and the next ended up being my favorite out of this series. By the third book Garwood has gotten her groove. I absolutely loved the characters of Sara and Nathan. We also get callbacks and scenes with prior characters Jade and Caine as well as mention of [spoiler] Colin. Who knew a book that starts with a child bride ceremony (seriously […]

Guardian Angel

Guardian Angel by Julie Garwood

August 1, 2022 by Classic 3 Comments

Ha! I love this cover and it’s the one that is on the book I currently own. Look, the reason why this one has such a high mark from me is that it’s a pirate romance. Come on. The main reason why it didn’t hit 5 stars for me like the latter books is that after a while it felt like a lot of stuff got handwaved away. Also the book drags in parts. This was a fun ride though. You also get a scene […]
