“No. You are divine. You are impossible to get enough of. Perhaps some people would disagree, but those people don’t especially matter, because you’re mine.”

Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert

by 4 Comments

I absolutely adored Act Your Age, Eve Brown. I *think* Take a Hint, Dani Brown is my favorite of the Brown sisters series, but this one certainly gave it a run for its money. In similar fashion to Get a Life, Chloe Brown we are in an enemies to lovers romance (which has grown on me considerably over the past few years) but in Hibbert’s hands it’s really much closer “you annoy me but once I actually get to know you I’m enamored of you” […]

“Then he slid one big, warm hand over the nape of her neck, squeezed, and said, “Don’t look so surprised. You know I love your brain.”

Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

by 3 Comments

When I finished Get a Life, Chloe Brown earlier this month I immediately requested Take a Hint, Dani Brown from the library – the reading experience had been that good. When I finished Take a Hint this week, I did the same thing for Act Your Age, Eve Brown and it is currently waiting for me at my local library branch. Talia Hibbert has written some of my favorite reading experiences of the year thus far in this series and I imagine I will be […]

The Professor Next Door by Jackie Lau

I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. The Professor Next Door publishes June 8, 2021. Jackie Lau’s next book in her Cider Bar Sisters series is The Professor Next Door and it tells the story of Nicole Louie-Edwards and David Cho, the titular professor next door. A decade after getting out of a rough relationship Nicole has herself settled into her career and life with friends and family, building a life around the version […]

Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

by 6 Comments

I loved Get a Life, Chloe Brown. I swooned, I laughed, I commiserated. Hibbert delivered on all fronts. This is my first Talia Hibbert book (I’ve followed her on Twitter for quiet awhile and enjoy her greatly there), and it lives up to the hype. In broad strokes, it’s a relatively slow burn romance that slips right past enemies to lovers tropes and instead lands in the “you annoy me but once I actually get to know you I’m enamored of you” zone which isn’t […]

“I like all your worst qualities.”

The Duke Who Didn't by Courtney Milan

by Leave a Comment

It has been a few years since I read a novel length Courtney Milan work. I’ve read a few of her novellas (Her Every Wish, Mrs. Martin’s Incomparable Adventure, The Governess Affair) but when Milan surprise published this book I added to my digital bookshelf with a quickness. The Duke Who Didn’t tells the story of Chloe Fong. She has plans for her life which she is going to manifest through the use of lists and no time for nonsense. Three years ago, she asked […]
