I simply could not let more days pass gazing longingly at the three Milan novels on my Kindle that I’ve been saving for a rainy day. I’d heard ’round these parts that The Heiress Effect is probably the least favorite book of the Brothers Sinister series, so I went in with tempered expectations. And what do you know — with those expectations so dialed down, they were exceeded! Mostly. Here’s what I loved: Miss Jane Fairfield, the heiress in question, is a sharp, witty, confident, […]
“He could do this. He’d survived boot camp. He’d survived combat and the harsh weather of Afghanistan. He could survive broccoli. Probably.”
Yours to Keep is a classic “strangers make a deal to pretend they’re in love and then fall in love in actuality” type romance novel. These are pretty common, I imagine, because it places the protagonists together for extended periods of time and forces intimacy. And it works well in this novel by Shannon Stacey. The set-up is as follows: Sean Kowalski arrives home from Afghanistan, his army service over, and within hours he’s recruited by Emma Shaw to be her fake fiancé. In order […]
Fangirl
Can you give a book 6 stars? Fangirl was, by far, one of the best books I’ve read all year. I devoured it in two nights and my only complaint is that is ended already. Can we start an online petition for sequels to all Rainbow Rowell’s books? She always seems to leave me wanting more! Cath’s life has been devoted to Simon Snow (a Harry Potter-esq book character) since her mother left Cath and her twin sister, Wren, when they were 8. Wren has […]
A runaway princess, a jilted prince and an assassin walk into a tavern…
3.5 stars I finished this book nearly two weeks ago, and will therefore use the summary from Goodreads to explain the plot. Getting old and senile here, peeps.

As First Daughter, she is expected to have the revered gift of sight – but she doesn’t – and she knows her parents are perpetrating a sham when they arrange her marriage to secure an alliance with a neighbouring kingdom – to a prince […]

A jock and a bimbo meet at a funeral. Later they fall in love
Phoebe Sommerville is a bundle of daddy issues and sexual hangups, masquerading as a drop-dead gorgeous blonde bombshell. Clever, sensitive and oh so very vulnerable, Phoebe learned long ago that the best way to keep men at a distance and getting her own way is by pretending to be a sexy airhead.
