Hoo boy, do I chuckle at my newfound shamelessness. Perhaps one of the best parts of being in my thirties is my solid belief that I just don’t GAF what anybody thinks about me anymore. And in that vein, I have unabashedly thrown myself into a semi-regular consumption of delightfully trashy romance novels! This book easily fits the bill, being a welcome, fun, mostly brainless/unrealistic but somehow sexy lil romp through fantasy land. The story features ridiculous characters, including a comically “plain” female lead […]

New favorite author!

I have been in a complete reading slump. I am in the middle of three contemporary romances right now, and while I intend to finish all of them, none of them are holding my attention. Historicals were my first love, and will always be the thing I come back to. But, the more I read, the crankier I get and it just gets harder and harder to please me. I want the author to do something new! Something different that I haven’t seen before. ‘Wow’ […]

Another American Heiress Invades Britain

Actual rating 2.5 stars, rounding up here. When I started reading this book, I was hit by a strong sense of deja-vu. It reminded me so much of ‘Lady Bridget’s Diary’ by Maya Rodale that I just read recently! To compare: Wealthy American heiress descends on British society, is like a fish out of water and is very outspoken and yet adorably charming? Check. Two brothers (in this case twins) – older brother is the titled peer, portrayed as remote, unemotional and does not dance, […]

Heath Hextall, Earl of Boden, is on a mission to find a wife. At least, that is what he tells his long time friend William Somerhall at the ball they are attending. Will has recently found happiness with Jenna (see my review for ‘A Good Rogue is Hard to Find’), but he is surprised that Heath is ready to settle down. The problem is that Heath is tired of taking care of everything in his life. Since inheriting the earldom, it’s been a struggle to […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
