So I’ve been on the road a lot for work this month. And by a lot I mean, over half the month of January, with more plane flights than I’d care to count. This means an endless loop of romance series downloaded from my charming library. But after having read 15 romances in January alone all but my favorites are blending together. I’ve decided to take a favorite or two from each series I’m reading and comment on them, because I can only say generic […]
A historical romance with melodrama
3.5 stars Sir Richard Kenworthy has less than a month to find a bride, and secure her hand in marriage. She can’t really be an heiress or a diamond of the first water, because it’s really quite imperative that she accept his proposal, no matter what. When he spots Miss Iris Smythe-Smith suffering behind her cello at her family’s infamous annual musicale, he is intrigued. Very blond and pale-skinned, she should be unremarkable, but she’s clearly good at playing her instrument, which can’t be said […]
This dragon sure ain’t Pete’s (and that’s a good thing!)
If you’re of a certain age, I’m going to assume that you saw the Disney movie Pete’s Dragon at some point in your childhood. Here’s a visual reminder in case you need one: In Dragon Bound, Thea Harrison has created the complete antithesis of Pete’s invisible dragon pal in the hero, Dragos. Dragos has been around since the dawn of time and is a complete bad ass. He is not rotund with purple hair and fond of small children. Instead he is the leader of […]
I’ll take that with a scoop of Bluebell Homemade Vanilla, please.
{Warning: Cherry Pie is a m/m romance, with all that implies. If this is not your cup o’ tea, I invite you to move along to a different review. No trolls allowed here.} Oh, dear readers… You should’ve just let me disappear quietly after the last Kristen Ashley bonfire. But no, you all had to be kind, and encouraging, and sound like you actually enjoyed my attempts at reviewing books. I’m not looking for kudos. I read what you all write, and I’m not there […]
Not a whole lot of “tica” in this piece of Romantica
Those folks at Amazon.com are sneaky, I tell you. SNEAKY. After I searched for the link to LORD OF SCOUNDRELS by Loretta Chase, they kept recommending THE OTHER DUKE by Jess Michaels as something I’d like to read. I’d heard of Jess Michaels, and was looking for a historical romance to read as a palate cleanser after the torture that *Name Redacted* subjected me to over the weekend, so it seemed like a good time to give her a try. Perhaps a little background first. […]
Insider trading is illegal fyi
Pages: 280 in PB although I read the Kindle vcrsion Time taken: ~3 hours (does anyone actually time these? I read about 100 pages per hour or the average book, I just guess based on that.)
