Miss Poppy Bridgerton is visiting a cousin at the coast when she stumbles upon a strange cave, which happens to be full of smugglers’ goods. When she’s shortly after discovered by two of the smugglers, she finds herself drugged and abducted onto a ship, where the very handsome captain tells her that she can’t be released until after the ship has been to Portugal and back. Poppy is none too happy about this, obviously, but doesn’t really have a choice. She just has to hope […]
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 […]
A series of lies
This is book two in the Rokesby series, set before the infamous Bridgerton bunch series, of which I’ve read all. However, I’m not as taken with this series as I’d hoped to be. The first book was okay, and this one had a lot of problematic plot devices. To begin with, Cecilia Harcourt makes an impetuous journey from England to America to care for her brother Thomas, a soldier in the army. He’s gone missing, however, but she feels like it would be an easy […]
Goodbye, Bridgertons, I hardly knew ye.
This book was a bit of a mixed bag for me, which is sad since it’s the last Bridgerton book, and I would have liked the series to go out on more of bang rather than a whimper*.

But the second half lost its way. *I would also rather it […]
Cannonballing with Julia Quinn.
I tried real hard for my Cannonball to be with, like, a super cool book that I lost my mind over, but I guess I’ll just have to settle for an ordinary one that I just plain old enjoyed. It did make me swoon a little, so that’s something at least. Maybe it’s just because I’m a sucker for a good love story with pining, but I really liked this Bridgerton book, maybe more than most people seem to have done. This is Francesca’s book, […]
Lies, amnesia, missing persons and the revolutionary war
3.5 stars Shortly after the death of her father, Miss Cecilia Harcourt gets a letter informing her that her brother, Thomas Harcourt has been injured during battle i the American colonies. Her odious cousin keeps coming around hinting strongly at how beneficial it would be for Cecilia to marry him, so instead she buries the family silver in the garden and sets off over the Atlantic to find her brother and nurse him back to health. Unfortunately, no one seems to be willing to speak […]
