How is a book about a spy this boring?

December 30, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

Alexander Hayes fought bravely during the Napoleonic war and achieved the rank of Major. During the battle of Waterloo, he was gravely injured and nearly died. When he, some weeks later, managed to get back to rejoin his fellow soldiers, he discovered that not only had one of his childhood friends died during the battle, but that he was being accused of treason. In absolute disgrace, he lets his family continue to believe that he died, and goes to work as a spy for England, […]

“He couldn’t be serious and stern with a man who had ducklings in his hair.”

December 30, 2017 by narfna 6 Comments

 I am basically trash for this author now. I have pre-ordered her m/f Regency romance that is out in April, so hopefully she’s just as good on that as she is with m/m. Fair warning, the next book in this series isn’t out until July and that is 1,000 years away. Also, this cover isn’t that bad (characters are way overdressed, and one should def be dressed like a vicar because come on, but it’s not ugly), and neither are the last two in her first series, […]

I seriously can’t decide which book in this trilogy is my favorite. I love them all.

December 30, 2017 by narfna 2 Comments

I’m so into this author right now, and I’m so upset she has only published three books so far. I want her next book right frickin now. (Out in two weeks, already pre-ordered.) This is the last book in the Turner series, and it’s just as good as the first two. We met our heroes last book. Julian Medlock is the brother of Eleanor Standish, Lawrence’s science friend, and Lord Courtenay his son’s uncle. Courtenay is the titular rake, an infamous scapegrace who has spent […]

Cat Sebastian is now on my autobuy list.

December 30, 2017 by narfna Leave a Comment

(FYI as of posting this review, this book is currently $1.99 on Kindle.) I’ve only read two books by this author, but she’s already on my auto-buy list. Traditionally published LGBTQIA historical romance novels are hard enough to come by (like, I don’t actually think I’ve ever seen one before??), but so far both of the books I’ve read by Cat Sebastian have been some of the best romance novels I’ve read, period. They’ve both had everything I look for in a romance novel: interesting […]

Scandalous mystery tuppers and double cannonball!

December 29, 2017 by Mikki Blu 5 Comments

On the night of the Parkhurst ball, someone had a scandalous tryst in the library. • Was it Lord Canby, with the maid, on the divan? • Or Miss Fairchild, with a rake, against the wall? • Perhaps the butler did it. All Charlotte Highwood knows is this: it wasn’t her. But rumors to the contrary are buzzing. I was a little reluctant to read this book by Ms Dare, after thoroughly disliking the previous one, but reviews were good so when I saw it […]
