I finally read it too

January 30, 2016 by Malin 4 Comments

4.5 stars Corey Callahan was expecting to go to prestigious Harkness College as a varsity hockey player, but instead arrives there in a wheelchair, after ending up partly paralysed from the wait down after an accident on the ice. Her cheerful new roommate doesn’t seem to mind that they have to stay in a handicap-accessible room away from all the other Harkness freshmen. If having to re-assess all her hopes and dreams about college wasn’t difficult enough, Corey also falls head over heels for the […]

So what happens after your life is publicly ruined?

January 30, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

Lydia Bennet became somewhat of an internet celebrity when her older sister Lizzie‘s vlogs, made as part of her graduate project, went viral in a major way. Always happy to be the centre of attention, Lydia made her own videos and loved the attention she got on YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr and other social media sites. Unfortunately, when she fell in love with and trusted a man who took terrible advantage of her, she also had to face her private life being open for all to […]

A contemporary romance set in London. Yay Britishism!

January 21, 2016 by Malin 7 Comments

Rising star and current darling of London’s West End, Elaine “Lainie” Graham has to pretend to be passionately in love with and kiss her ex-boyfriend Will Farmer every evening and sometimes for matinee performances. While none of her family really liked him, she was still shocked and upset when she discovered he was cheating on her – by seeing it splashed on the front page of the tabloid news media. Now she’s pretty much sworn off men for a while and is none too amused […]

A marriage of convenience story done right

January 21, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

4.5 stars Ildiko is a human woman, the less than favoured niece of the Gauri king. To cement an important political alliance she’s been promised in marriage to Prince Brishen of Bast-Haradis, a Kai warrior and the younger son to the ruthless ruling couple. Humans and Kai, for all that they share similar anatomical traits are very different, both in looks and cultural values. The Kai have black, unreadable eyes, sharp features, grey skin, long claws and a mouth full of sharp fangs and are […]

Britain’s Next Top Model

January 17, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

As of writing this review, the book is still on sale on Amazon for $1.99. So anyone interested, can check it out without spending a huge amount of money. Harriet Manners is a geek. If she wasn’t already painfully aware of the fact, and her less than stellar social status among her fellow teens, someone helpfully wrote the word in big red letters on her satchel. She does have a very good friend, and the ardent admiration of Toby, the only kid in school geekier […]

Lady Clara Fairfax, eldest daughter of the Marquess of Warford and sister to the Earl of Longmore, was raised to marry a duke. The Duke of Clevedon, to be precise, but he ended up falling in love with a dressmaker instead. Not that Clara is lacking in high-born suitors. Twice a week they show up in her mother’s drawing room to ask for her hand in marriage and Clara, well bred lady that she is, politely refuses them. Clara wants to make a difference. She […]
