Oh, this book. I didn’t give much thought to the winner of the National Book Award this year. All I knew was that it wasn’t All the Light You Cannot See (still on my holds list) or Station Eleven (which I thought was going to be tough to beat), but Reployment, a collection of short stories about Marines fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, does so without pausing to take a breath. Thanks to Bonnie reviewing it earlier this year and my love of The Things […]
A Romance with Chocolate and Caramel and Eclairs oh my!
So I got there. Again, it just takes the right romance, and all that is wrong with the world can disappear for a few blissful hours. I usually prefer historical to contemporary romance, but this one (especially combined with The Chocolate Kiss) take the delicious cake! This time it’s Jaime Corey (younger daughter of the billionaire Corey family from previous books) and Dominique Richard, wild man of the high end Parisian chocolatier industry. Jaime is in Paris recuperating after being beaten in Africa, and finds […]
A Romance with Witches
So the lesson I am regularly to learn again and again this year… Mrs. Julien has some of the best romance taste around. After reading, and being underwhelmed by The Chocolate Thief I started the second in the series, The Chocolate Kiss, as it was just the next one in my kindle, so whatever. But she was right, as is most generally the case, damn! The Chocolate Kiss was a delight! This time our story focuses on Magalie, niece and worker at her aunt’s La […]
A Fluffy Romance filled with Chocolate
So I was need for some romantic fluff. And I’m talking the fluffiest of fluff. I didn’t want to have to think, just escape and enjoy. Therefore this was my first foray into Laura Florand, as I’ve heard so many good things about her from some ladies here. And my goodness was she fluffy, but I have some thoughts and opinions about her as well. The Chocolate Thief is the first in Florand’s Chocolate Series which appears to be about different chocolatiers throughout Paris. This […]
A romance with a lot more adventure than romance
I finally have read the first book in the Pennyroyal Green series! Oh my goodness does this explain a lot of things! Although now I want to go back and read them in order because I have new questions. I’ve been reading them out of order for months, and different parts of them are slipping in and out of my head. I am short only 2 now, and honestly I hear neither are all that good so I might just wait for a bit. Onto […]
A romance with a blind man
So plane flights are the perfect time to load up one’s kindle app on one’s phone and plow through all of those romances you just hadn’t gotten around to reading. AKA those ones that you heard were meh, but you’re on a plane and have nothing better to do! Thankfully my library celebrates all of Tessa Dare’s back catalog so this time up is an incredibly mediocre and really kind of odd Romancing the Duke. This is the story of Isolde Goodnight, daughter of famed […]
