I was not pleased that the first book in this series didn’t really click with me. So many people enjoyed it! I wanted in on the party. But something about the romance between the MCs didn’t gel with me, so I rated it three and a half stars and moved on with my life, hoping that book two would be more my style. And it was! Oh, yay. Something that I did really appreciate in the first book and that holds true for this one […]
Riches and Wonders
What a strange little book. The Beautiful Ones is the story of three people: Antonina “Nina” Beaulieu, her cousin Valerie, and the telekinetic performer Hector Auvray. Hector and Valerie have a tragic romantic history, and when their paths cross again during Nina’s first Grand Season in the big city, she is drawn, unwittingly, into a romantic triangle with the two of them. At its heart, The Beautiful Ones is pretty standard romance. It has some noteworthy trappings, however. It appears to take place during La Belle Epoque, […]

Further adventures in terrible book covers
The second book in the Hidden Legacy series, despite being warned by you all I didn’t believe it was possible that the cover for White Hot could be any worse than that for Burn For Me. I was so wrong, and you were soooo right. Why is he sniffing her forehead? Are those abs painted on? Are the publishers actively trying to put people off from buying this? The mind boggles… In the aftermath of Burn For Me’s adventures, when not practicing her magic Nevada […]
Beauty & The Beast & Cowboys
After some extensive research of the free books section in iBook I managed to separate the books into the following categories: 50 shades wannabes Surprisingly good Regency romance An occasional classic (usually Pride & Prejudice) Contemporary romance involving a kindergarten teacher and a billionaire Contemporary romance involving a kindergarten teacher and a sexy service man Contemporary cowboy stories Historical cowboy stories (usually involving a mail order bride) The Accidental Mail Order Bride, unsurprisingly, belongs to the last category and was mostly chosen because it had […]
Thanks, kind Cannonballer…
A week or so ago, in the need of some decent brain candy, I put out a plea for urban fantasy recommendations. I can’t remember which kind Cannonballer came up with this one, but I’m grateful nonetheless. Nevada Baylor is a private detective in a small ‘family’ business, albeit one that’s been bought out by a much bigger business – in this case one of the many ruling Houses that make up this world. This is a world where magic exists, with different types and […]
