I have been previously underwhelmed by Laura Florand, but was heartily encouraged to try, in particular, this and one of her other novels as a better representation of her potential. I’m now very scared I am going to be shunned. Here is the plot summary — it’s basically You’ve Got Mail — in Goodreads’ words: “Welcome to La Maison des Sorcieres. Where the window display is an enchanted forest of sweets, a collection of conical hats delights the eye and the habitues nibble chocolate witches […]
My embarrassment knows no end
I…I…I’m so embarrassed. This book is a horror and encapsulates so much that is wrong with the romance genre. I devoured it quickly and hated myself the whole time. Basically, I feel about this book the way the heroine felt about the hero the whole time – this is SO wrong for me, but I just can’t keep away. Chloe Mills is a business school student finishing up her degree with an internship at a marketing company. Her boss is Bennett Ryan, the titular Beautiful […]
Solid, Mediocre Sports Romance
This is the first book in the Brooklyn Bruisers series, and came out Fall 2016. Bowen has stuck with hockey, but moved on to the NHL from college stories. I never finished the Ivy Years series, but apparently this hero is the older brother of the hero in The Fifteenth Minute (which I will NEVER read based on the reviews and BethEllen’s warnings). Georgia Worthington is the interim PR head for the Brooklyn Bruisers, an NHL team. On the same day that it is announced […]
Oh, look, another douchebag hero. Quelle surprise!
Guinevere Poe is living her best life. She’s a successful artist whose pieces sell for millions and engaged to a very hot, very rich man. Eli Davenport is also living his best life. He’s a top neurosurgeon and about to marry a very hot, very rich doctor. It all starts going wrong when Guinevere’s fiance runs off with Eli’s bride-to-be. During the ceremony. Awkward.
Pales in comparison
I was on such a soccer high after reading Kulti that I put down the 6 other books I am reading to pick up this one. It came out in June this past year, and I actually preordered it because it was a soccer book where both hero and heroine were athletes. Then, I promptly forgot about it until reading Kulti, and J mentioned it in a comment on that review. I should have read this one first. If I had, it would probably have […]
Par la souffrance, la vertu – Virtue through suffering
4.5 stars Spoiler warning! This is a direct continuation of part one of The Belhaven series, How Not to Fall, and while the reader is given enough context to understand what happened in the previous book, it will not make as much sense or have the emotional resonance for the reader unless you have read the first one. Seriously, these books are two halves of a whole story. Also, you will probably get spoilers for the first book in the series in this review. So […]
