The Girl He Used to Know by Tracey Garvis Graves

Disclaimer: I received this book as an ARC from St. Martin’s Press as part of a giveaway. This did not affect my rating or review. This book will be released on April 2, 2019. Several months ago I had the opportunity to enter a giveaway for an advance copy of The Girl He Used to Know by Tracey Garvis Graves. I had not read any of the author’s previous books and tend to prefer historical romance to contemporaries (and in fact the author calls this […]

Five Stars, But Not a Favorite

Maybe This Time by Jill Mansell

by 2 Comments

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This book will be released on June 4, 2019.  So though I really enjoyed this book, the main reason why I didn’t give it a favorite designation was honestly because I thought that Mansell should have Mimi with someone else that was introduced in the book. I thought all of the story-lines were very good and that Mansell did a good job of showcasing all of the stories […]

Dream Big Dreams

Prince on Paper: Reluctant Royals by Alyssa Cole

by 2 Comments

I got an advanced copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. A Prince on Paper is the third novel in the Reluctant Royals series. I think you would be better off reading the first two books before you start this one so that you have a context for Nya and Johan. Nya Jerami fled Thesolo for the glitz and glamour of NYC but discovered that her Prince Charming only exists in her virtual dating games. When Nya returns home for a royal wedding, […]

I so wanted to love this. Alas, it was not to be.

From the blurb, because it’s now a month and a half since I finished the audio book: Crush: a strong and often short-lived infatuation, particularly for someone beyond your reach… Darcy Barrett has undertaken a global survey of men. She’s travelled the world, and can categorically say that no one measures up to Tom Valeska, whose only flaw is that Darcy’s twin brother Jamie saw him first and claimed him forever as his best friend. Despite Darcy’s best efforts, Tom’s off limits and loyal to […]

Romantic Comedies are my favorite genre, and these ones are good

Rule Breaker by Lily Morton

Deal Maker by Lily Morton

Risk Taker by Lily Morton

A couple of weeks ago I discovered a new contemporary LGBTQ romance writer, Roan Parrish, whose work I really enjoyed. Finding a new author is always exciting for me, as I have a tendency to read everything by the authors I like. I’ve been working my way through Roan Parrish’s work, but her books tend towards the heavy and serious, and I found myself looking for something light and romantic…enter this series. Lily Morton’s Mixed Messages series consists of three books: the first book is […]

An Effervescent Romance

The Austen Playbook by Lucy Parker

by 5 Comments

This review is spoiler free. I signed up with NetGalley in hopes that I would be given this book in exchange for an honest review. I was so excited when I got the email from the publisher that my mood did a wild swing from morose despair to OHMYGODREALLY??? I loooooooved it. Grumpy hero – check witty heroine – check sparkling banter – check sexy sexy times – check a brief spot of soulful pining – check meddling families – check shenanigans – check The […]
