She’s Sentinel of Cadogan House, and in love with Ethan Sullivan, the Master of the house.

This book starts with Merit and Ethan on a road trip to Nebraska, to make sure that […]
My modern Italian feast experiment
After a year back in town, I finally sorted out my LAPL library card privileges. Much to my surprise, the Highland Park branch has a very extensive cookbook selection. I LOVE Italian food and culture, even minored in Italian at USC. As such, I immediately snagged the Giada’s Kitchen: New Italian Favorites off the shelf. I was never a big fan of her Food Network cooking show, but I do own a very nice skillet from her Target line. 🙂 The book is organized into the following sections: appetizers […]
“We’re of one mind, Grenville and I, and the mind is hers, on account of my being a man and not having one.”
Another re-read of one of my all-time favourites, once again narrated by the excellent Kate Reading. Vere Mallory becomes the Duke of Ainswood after pretty much every other male in his family line dies, including several family members he cared deeply for, and he’s quite happy to drink and debauch himself into an early grave so the accursed title can’t take anyone else, thank you very much. An endless existence of carousing gets tedious after a while, though, and once he crosses paths with Miss […]
“I was maybe the only person to ever have his imaginary friend made real.”
3.5 stars English teenage boy James “Jamie” (although he really would prefer it if you didn’t call him that, even if NO ONE seems to listen to him) Watson has been given a scholarship to a preppy boarding school in Connecticut, not far away from where his father lives with his new family. He’s rather excited about the chance to meet another of the students there, though, the already famous Charlotte Holmes. James and Charlotte’s great-great-great-grandfathers were one of the most famous pairings in history, […]
Don’t expect a happy ending to this one
Spoiler warning! I found it impossible to review this book without revealing plot details that would probably be considered spoilery, so if you like to start a book without knowing much, probably skip this review. Also, this book is a PREQUEL, best read after you finish the full thirteen book series by Kim Harrison. As of me writing this, the first book is on sale for $2.99. In a world where humans are the dominant species, they are fully unaware that there are a number […]
The Hearts Wants What It Wants
I picked this one up on a whim, thinking the cover was pretty and the story sounded intriguing. At the time, I didn’t realize it was categorized as New Adult – a genre I have steered away from, or I might have put it back on the shelf. That said, I found myself sucked into the story fairly rapidly, and I enjoyed the dialogue and the change of pace from historical romance. This is actually the third book in The Starcrossed Series, but it did […]
