To be someone’s choice

May 7, 2018 by Jen K Leave a Comment

It’s been quite a while since the previous novel in The Worth Saga was released, and while I remembered the main story about the family’s downfall due to the father’s treason and two protagonists reconnecting after years of estrangement, I had actually forgotten my reaction to some of the characters until I saw an old comment I had made on Malin’s Goodreads review.  Apparently, Theresa, the youngest sister, had seriously grated my nerves in the first one. Milan obviously toned her down quite a bit […]

A Roaring Start

May 7, 2018 by Jen K Leave a Comment

The Dukes of Ripley, Ashmont and Blackwood are known throughout London as the Disgraces and have gone past the point of being rakes to being considered unmarriageable.  This is rather uncommon since men are usually forgiven their wild side in these stories but the three friends have made it a habit of going too far.  While they may be seen as untouchable by their peers, the workers actually are rather found of them because despite all their fighting and carousing (or perhaps because of it), […]

This book is still perfection to me

April 29, 2018 by Malin Leave a Comment

This is a re-read. My original review can be found here. If you do read my original write-up of this book, you will see just how full of superlatives I was for this book. It is very rare that I just can’t concentrate on other books before I’ve read a book at least twice, just to get it out of my system a little bit. This is one of the few books I can remember that happening with. There are very few books out there that […]

“I’m all hard edges, Sebastian. Hard edges and crumpled pieces and broken pieces of glass. There is no way for you to win this”

April 29, 2018 by Malin Leave a Comment

This is a re-read, my original review of this book can be found here. The book can be read on its own, but works better if you’ve read at least The Heiress Effect.  The final book in a trilogy is always supposed to be about the most complicated of the characters, right? As it turns out, this wasn’t actually the final book in the series, as the novella Ms Milan intended for Free Marshall turned into a fourth novel, but this is nevertheless the book and the […]

A non-binary Regency romance.

April 27, 2018 by narfna Leave a Comment

Okay, so even if this is the first book of hers that hasn’t made me drool with unbridled enthusiasm, I still really enjoyed it, and it’s clear to me that Cat Sebastian is going to continue to publish books that I will enjoy reading. I think maybe I was just expecting a lot more from this than it was capable of giving? I don’t know. It’s also the first non M/M book of hers I read, but I don’t think that’s why I didn’t enjoy […]

A truly lovely story of family that overwhelms the central romance

April 27, 2018 by Ellepkay 2 Comments

This is the third book in the Westcott series.  I skipped the first and reviewed the second here.  This third book was very good.  The overarching theme throughout the series of family and acceptance was at its peak here, and I loved it.  I always enjoy a series about a close family, but this takes it beyond the nuclear family to aunts/uncles/cousins, and it’s just wonderful to see people treating each other well. Alexander Westcott was happy with his life as a gentleman, but when […]
