After reading Brown-Eyed Girl earlier this year, I decided to read another book from Lisa Kleypas’s contemporary romance series (albeit in random and reverse order) and picked up Blue-Eyed Devil (2008). This series focuses on the love lives of the Travis family. The Travis family is a prominent, wealthy Texas family consisting of a powerful patriarch and four siblings. Haven, the only girl (and possibly the youngest?) is at the wedding of her eldest brother (one of the books I haven’t read yet) when she first sees Hardy […]
I am so glad I read the Wild Seasons series first
Beautiful Bastard: 2. 5 stars Beautiful Bitch: 3.5 stars Combined rating: 3 stars Chloe Mills only has a few months left of studying for her MBA, working as an intern for perfectionist business prodigy Bennett Ryan. She gets along famously with his father, the founder of the company and his older brother, but she pretty much detests her boss and he seems to delight in finding fault with everything she does and says, demanding almost impossible things from her. But behind their seemingly mutual loathing, […]
Thank you, Prolixity Julien. You are a true friend and a kindred spirit!
Wicked Sexy Liar: 5 stars Not Joe’s Not-So-Short Story: 3 stars First of all, I have to once again thank the wonderful Mrs. Julien for getting me the Target special edition paperback of this book and sending it to me with a veritable feast of Junior Mints, just so I could get to read Not-Joe’s story, which wasn’t included in the e-book version of the book. The Junior Mints were a lovely bonus, and I now have to be very strong and not gorge myself […]
CBRers are the Best People
Before I get to my review, I just need to get sappy here for a minute. I have lurked on Pajiba forever, and have dropped in on CBR intermittently over the years, but I never thought to join in. Because I was embarrassed that my reading is almost exclusively romance novels. But, Beth Ellen convinced me that it was cool here, that there are others like me, and we are all accepted – and she was right. You guys just ‘get’ me. This book was […]
God Damn It! – A Contemporary Romance
My reaction to Happily Ever Ninja is why Penny Reid continues to be on double-secret probation with me, a situation that started with The Hooker and the Hermit, deepened with Elements of Chemistry and was cemented by Truth or Beard. I wasn’t going to buy Happily Ever Ninja. I WASN’T. No matter what joo-joo a couple of earlier books in the Knitting in the City series possessed or how much I liked Beauty and the Mustache. Penny Reid’s status as an autobuy was over. Then […]
He’s Not Actually a Liar – A Contemporary Romance
Finally, a Christina Lauren couple that doesn’t scream the house down in the throes of passion. Quiet people need love, too. In the first three books of the new adult romance Wild Seasons series, each of a trio of close friends made impulsive marriages on a graduation trip to Las Vegas. The aftermath of each of these choices was the basis for Mia, Harlow, and Lola’s novels. Book four brings Lola’s surfer roommate, London, to the fore and pairs her with Mia’s ex-boyfriend, Luke. I […]
