“I don’t want to talk about dukes. Bollocks on every last one of them.”

A Delicate Deception (Regency Imposters, #3) by Cat Sebastian

This was a bit rough, but charming in its roughness. It’s my favorite of Sebastian’s Regency Imposters books. At the beginning of the book especially when the lovers are in the “enemies” phase of “enemies to lovers,” the banter and the narration both are very biting and witty, but in a gentle, non-threatening way for my emotions. Amelia is our heroine, and I will admit it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize she was in both prior books in the series. She has […]

First, I made the embedded cover real big in this review so y’all can see our heroine Susan’s face. It is the most non-swoony face I have ever, ever seen on a romance novel cover, and that is so true to her character, I love it. Even the arms are folded! Susan Lazarus is not fucking around. This is the second book in the Lilywhite Boys series, which follows two con men and thieves in late Victorian London. This series is actually connected to Charles’s […]

My main issue with this book is that I just wanted more of it!

I’m having trouble with this one! On the one hand, I liked it. On the other, I thought it needed just a little something else. I never really cared the way I should have, the way I’ve cared about her other characters in past books. Verity Plum is a publisher and bookseller; John Ashby is an engraver. They have known one another for ages, and always a low-simmering attraction they’ve both ignored has been present. Both for different reasons have been scared to change their […]

There will be spoilers in this review because there has to be. A blow by blow account of the book; though often frowned upon in reviews, is needed in this one. Once upon a time a screenshot was posted of the synopsis for this book. It was bad and in a very strange twist it was the badness that drew me in. Imagine my joy when the book showed up on Kindle Unlimited. The synopsis wouldn’t draw anyone in with it’s attempt at drama, and […]

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.

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.
