It took me nine months to get through all 47.5 hours of the audiobook. You can produce a child in that amount of time. The majority of my friends have read the Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, whatever) books and we gather on a Monday evening to watch the new episodes (also a food-from-the-series feast at the end of each season, phenomenal). Speaking during an episode is strictly verboten, so I started reading the books to fill in the gaps in my […]
Only a Kiss Is a Swing and a Miss or Maybe a Bunt
The Survivors’ Club series has had a really good run and there is one more book to go that I will be reading when it becomes available, but Only a Kiss was a swing and a miss. I never really connected with it and, in particular, didn’t get a handle on the hero. Before I start, let’s take a moment to enjoy the gorgeous and mostly accurate (!) cover. The Survivors’ Club series follows the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars for six men and one […]
Taking Care of Scandal
Kelly Bowen is a new-to-me author, and I am thrilled to have discovered her. I can’t remember where I stumbled across the book recommendation, but I’m glad I followed up on it. She has a fresh take on the historical romance genre. This is the first book in a new series; the previous trilogy ‘Lords of Worth’ is definitely something I will be diving into next. “The silk was the color of sin. “On the bodice of a ball gown, it would have been spectacular. […]
You Knew I Was Obnoxious When You Married Me
Short Version: 4.5 stars. I adored the hero and heroine and can’t remember another time I liked both protagonists so much. The plot was very good, but not quite great, so read it for Clara and Oliver, their every moment together is a delight. Long Version: Looking forward to Clara’s book in Loretta Chase’s Dressmaker’s Series, I was not disappointed. You have to love it when it feels like a book was written with you in mind. Dukes Prefer Blondes featured a Nick and Nora Charles style […]
My Teenage Angst Looks Like a Cakewalk Now
Thank you Even Stevens! You are a wonderful, wonderful person. A few weeks ago, this post showed up on Cannonball Read: “The darkest minds tend to hide behind the most unlikely faces” And I took notice…because the book looked bad ass! And Even Stevens was so enthusiastic about it–it was quickly moved up on my must read list (so much so that I neglected my book club book and focused on this instead). Let me tell you what? I loved it too! Something has […]
“But you’re— you’re—” “A virgin? True. But just because I don’t believe in poaching out of season doesn’t mean I can’t hunt.”
In Turner #1 (reviewed here), we are introduced to Mark Turner as the baby brother of the Turner family, completely absorbed in writing the definitive tome on chastity. Fast forward a few years and Mark is now Sir Mark, knighted by Her Majesty for his work, titled A Gentleman’s Practical Guide to Chastity. The work has been incredibly successful and Sir Mark is hounded by the press (in some fun commentary on paparazzi) and pursued by every Mama in London for their daughter. Then there is the […]
