Mrs. Julien's Reviews:

NOPE! A Contemporary Romance

November 26, 2015 by Mrs. Julien 5 Comments

It was free. It was sexist. The title is an actual request from the heroine. If a man I was involved with told me not to “worry my pretty little head”, odds are very strong that I would worry his eye with my pretty little finger. From Amazon: Suzy’s a control freak and has her life mapped out – work hard, find a man with a stable job, and live happily ever after. She’s content with the status quo, but her plan comes to a […]

New Adult Romance with a Tatted Lumbersexual

The Game Plan by Kristen Callihan

November 25, 2015 by Mrs. Julien 10 Comments

The Game Plan is the third novel in the Game On series about football players and the women that climb them. I loved this new adult romance. I LOVED IT even after getting annoyed with the author, Kristen Callihan, about her The Pig Becomes a Person plot in The Friend Zone.  I loved it so much that it started as a loan from a good friend and I went ahead and bought myself a copy that I have since re-read. Fiona Mackenzie’s father and sister […]

KleypasKleypas Cannoncannonballball!

October 28, 2015 by Mrs. Julien 24 Comments

3.5 stars I will try to calm my excitement induced vibrating to write this review. I discovered Lisa Kleypas when I dove into the romance genre in 2012 and read everything of hers I could get my hands on – The Wallflowers, The Hathaways, The Travises, Derek, Gideon, and Zachary. She is the author whose work I have read the most of and I was SO EXCITED to learn she was returning to historicals. How excited? I’m writing this review and the book hasn’t even […]

Victorian Romance That Even Delivers on the Title

October 26, 2015 by Mrs. Julien 3 Comments

Laura Lee Guhrke is usually a fallback author for me, with Lorraine Heath and Eloisa James, but All About Romance publishes an annual list of their readership’s top romances of all time and I had seen And Then He Kissed Her on it a few years ago, so this historical romance had been on my personal wishlist for a while. Recently, it came up on Amazon for $1.99 and I snapped it up immediately. It did not disappoint. Emmaline Dove (GREAT name) has been the […]

Read Sarina Bowen’s Other Ivy Years Books Instead

October 23, 2015 by Mrs. Julien 9 Comments

The final book in Sarina Bowen’s Ivy Series is a bit of a head scratcher and one in which the author’s intent seemed clear, but I don’t think she managed the very delicate balancing act she had decided to undertake, but first let me praise the other five books in the Ivy Years series and emphatically recommend buying all of them immediately: The Year We Fell Down – BAM! This book got me right in the feels. The Year We Hid Away – That’s a […]
