I was not pleased that the first book in this series didn’t really click with me. So many people enjoyed it! I wanted in on the party. But something about the romance between the MCs didn’t gel with me, so I rated it three and a half stars and moved on with my life, hoping that book two would be more my style. And it was! Oh, yay. Something that I did really appreciate in the first book and that holds true for this one […]
A Gilded Age mystery
From New York Times bestselling author, Lauren Willig, comes this scandalous novel set in the Gilded Age, full of family secrets, affairs, and even murder. This book is a mixture of historical romance with an intriguing plot of family secrets and mystery that is very well done. It’s set at the end of the 1800’s, in the wealthy environs of New York society where rigid rules of appearance were adhered to. Bayard and Annabelle Van Duyvil are the glamorous couple that appear to have it […]

Beauty & The Beast & Cowboys
After some extensive research of the free books section in iBook I managed to separate the books into the following categories: 50 shades wannabes Surprisingly good Regency romance An occasional classic (usually Pride & Prejudice) Contemporary romance involving a kindergarten teacher and a billionaire Contemporary romance involving a kindergarten teacher and a sexy service man Contemporary cowboy stories Historical cowboy stories (usually involving a mail order bride) The Accidental Mail Order Bride, unsurprisingly, belongs to the last category and was mostly chosen because it had […]
While he was sleeping.
Short and sweet review for a short and sweet book. Actually, the book was 375 pages which isn’t really short, but it FELT short because I zoomed right through it. I’m not taking back my phrasing. So this is a book about a lady who travels to Revolutionary America to search for her missing brother (a British soldier), and encounters his best friend instead, who is in a coma. When they won’t let her in to see him, she claims to be his wife, and then […]
You’ve got sin in your blood
This is book two in the Blackshear Family series, and follows shortly after the ending of the first book. Once again, Ms Grant has ventured into unconventional territory with the heroine of the story who is a courtesan and former prostitute. I know that Loretta Chase has written one book with a courtesan, but that character wasn’t still involved with another man the way Lydia Slaughter is here. Lydia is a young woman who had to make her own way in the world, which meant […]
