I have mixed feelings about this one. It’s looking like Alyssa Cole is going to be a hit or miss author for me. I didn’t fully enjoy An Extraordinary Union for the same reasons I didn’t fully enjoy this one, I think, but I loved A Hope Divided. So I will keep reading her stuff and just know that going in the chemistry between her leads doesn’t always work for me. Really, I didn’t NOT like this book, it just didn’t work the way it was […]
Do we really like brooding Marines? Really?
There will be spoilers in this review because there has to be. A blow by blow account of the book; though often frowned upon in reviews, is needed in this one. Once upon a time a screenshot was posted of the synopsis for this book. It was bad and in a very strange twist it was the badness that drew me in. Imagine my joy when the book showed up on Kindle Unlimited. The synopsis wouldn’t draw anyone in with it’s attempt at drama, and […]
I didn’t expect to like this so much!
I’m so close to giving this five stars. I’m honestly not sure what’s holding me back. I had such a fun time reading this book! I borrowed the e-book version from my library and read it in a browser, and now I’m upset that all my bookmarks are going to go away. I never bookmark pages in a romance! (Okay, well, I never bookmark pages in a romance because I like the prose. I quite frequently bookmark the sexy parts for future reference.) But dangit, […]
This series makes for an excellent book binge.
I almost feel like I don’t want to write a review of this book, just maybe sit with it a while, scroll through and read some of my favorite parts again. But in short, I really liked it and it’s a more than worthy trilogy ender. Even with the lackluster first book, I would still recommend this series, but you definitely need to read all of them, as the central plot would be pretty confusing if you didn’t. This book wraps up the plot started […]
This book is yes.
This was FUN. I liked the first one, but it was missing something for me. This one, perhaps because its central characters weren’t so quiet and unassuming, intrigued me right away and didn’t let up. Nathaniel Roy is a crusading journalist who is determined to expose the secrets of two big name spiritualists currently practicing in London. He sees what they do as an abomination, taking advantage of naïve and grieving people’s trust and pain, and making money off of it. Nathaniel is also sensitive […]
Killer fog, murder, and sexytimes in Victorian London.
I liked this quite a bit, but I was able to put it down for several months, which doesn’t really speak super well of it’s ability to compel a reader. There was just something about the specific ways the pacing and the characters and the plot combined that I liked, but didn’t love. So this is a romance novel, but it’s also a hybrid Victorian/mystery/thriller-ish sort of book, and all of the plots are not resolved (though the romance aspect is), and I’m assuming they […]
