I love animals, but this wasn’t my favorite

The Wallflower Wager by Tessa Dare

January 28, 2020 by Sophia Leave a Comment

I’ve had a cold and been spending a lot of time relaxing on my couch feeling sorry for myself. When I finished my last book, I thought a fun romance novel might be perfect for how I was feeling. I found The Wallflower Wager (2019) by Tessa Dare available at my library and downloaded it immediately. So, I’m not sure if it’s how I was feeling or that I just need a break from romances, but I didn’t love this one. Dare has a fun style, and […]

“She had a lifelong habit of extending care to animals too wild or frightened to accept it- which made her the bravest kind of fool.”

The Wallflower Wager (Girl Meets Duke #3) by Tessa Dare

January 3, 2020 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

This was not the book I was going to read next, but after the bummer of Royal Holiday I knew I needed a sure thing and a Tessa Dare book will always be a book that I quite enjoy. I pulled up the one I’d been saving, book three in the Girl Meets Duke series, and spent the afternoon and evening absorbed in Dare’s kooky version of Regency England. I love a fun, feminist, anachronistic romance novel and that is something that Tessa Dare delivers […]

Seriously, is no one else bothered about there being zero wagers in this book?

The Wallflower Wager (Girl Meets Duke, #3) by Tessa Dare

December 21, 2019 by narfna 2 Comments

Much better than her last book. And for once the hero isn’t a man who thinks he’s broken and thus doesn’t deserve love. She’s played that card way too often. The premise here is that Penny, the titular wallflower who resigned herself to being a spinster ten years before, has a ton of animals in her care, and her family is threatening to move her back to her ancestral home if she doesn’t: a) Get rid of most of the animals, b) Get a new […]

Kind of ridiculous and kind of fun

When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare

December 11, 2019 by Sophia Leave a Comment

Tessa Dare is usually a safe author for me, so when I went looking for a fun romance to read on the airplane during a trip, I blindly grabbed one of hers that I hadn’t read. And I ended up with When a Scot Ties the Knot (2015). Now, because I’m behind in my reviews, I read this book a couple of months ago, and I’m having a little trouble remembering all the details. However, in my notes for this review I wrote: “It’s kind of ridiculous […]

A Regency romance with a very foul-mouthed parrot

The Wallflower Wager by Tessa Dare

September 22, 2019 by Malin Leave a Comment

Lady Penelope Campion lives quite happily alone in London, aided only by an old, pretty much deaf housekeeper and surrounded by her unusual menagerie of rescued animals. There’s a highland cow, a goat, an otter, several chickens, a dog with only the use of his front legs, a whole bunch of kittens and a particularly foul-mouthed parrot. Her friends dote on her and even politely try to eat her horrendous vegetable meat substitutes without complaining or making a fuss. So when Penelope’s aunt comes to […]

She’s Not That Kind Of Goat

The Wallflower Wager by Tessa Dare

August 25, 2019 by Jen K Leave a Comment

This is the third of the Girl Meets Duke novels, which involves a group of four eccentric women friends.  Penny has already been introduced as the vegetarian animal lover who makes horrible sandwiches with meat substitutes. This one was a delightful and ridiculous romp in usual Dare fashion, and I preferred this one to the previous novel in the series (I liked the heroes in The Governess Game, but not the some of plot points). A self made man, Gabriel Duke, has bought the property […]
