4.5 stars Disclaimer! I was given an ARC of this through NetGalley in return for a fair and unbiased review. Of course, it being a Courtney Milan book, I had also already pre-ordered it, because I will buy anything she writes, even if said thing is a scientific treatise on spiders and cockroaches (the things that creep my out the most). If Ms. Milan ever reads this – please don’t ever write a book like that. I will buy it, but I might not like […]
If you go into the woods today…
In the little town of Fairfold, people know that faeries are real. You need to be careful and not call too much attention to yourself, like the tourists frequently do, or the faeries may play dangerous or even deadly pranks on you. One of the things that lures tourists to Fairfold is the glass coffin, deep in the woods. In it, there is a horned boy, sleeping eternally. He is a thing of otherworldy beauty with the tips of his ears sharp as knives. He’s […]
A Romance in Which People Solve Their Own Problems
I’ve been reluctant to try and review romances because I rarely have much to say about them, even if I enjoy them, and Mrs. Julien is much better at not having much to say than I am. However, I have something to say about Meredith Duran’s Bound By Your Touch. It’s kind of a spoiler so if you don’t want to know, stop reading. Oh my godtopus! Both protagonists solve their own problems! Do you have any idea how rare that is in romance? It’s […]
Another Historical Romance, Late Even for Epiphany
I really like Cecilia Grant’s Regency romances, so I snapped up this novella over Christmas. She is a very strong writer and I buy or borrow everything she writes. In particular, she has a facility for changing tone and style according to the story she is telling. In this case, that means a light and droll spirit for a Yuletide sliding awry. A Christmas Gone Perfectly Wrong is a prequel novella for Grant’s Blackshear Family series. I read the books out of order and would […]
Still My Least Favourite Couple in the Series
Shadowed Heart is a follow up to Laura Florand’s The Chocolate Heart which is in itself the fifth book in the L’Amour et Chocolate contemporary romance series set in France. You could read this as a standalone novella, but I don’t really see the point as the purpose of this book is to check in on characters and have visits with the protagonists of the other books in the series. Without everyone’s backgrounds, not a lot is going to make sense. Luc Leroi and Summer […]
Kids, Always Have Safe Sex After a Heart Transplant
My best friend bought us tickets to something called an author occasion. We get to stand in lines and get autographs from a bunch of romance authors I’ve never heard of. This actually sounds like a lot of fun, but now I have to read about 20 different authors in two weeks and decide which lines I want to stand in. Like I would let just anyone sign my kindle cover (apparently that’s a thing now). I chose R.S. Grey first, because, hey, kindle unlimited! […]
