How are all these sports romances so hot when I don’t care even a little bit about sports?

May 6, 2016 by Malin 7 Comments

4.5 stars Summary from Goodreads: They don’t play for the same team? Or do they? Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wise-cracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation.

May 6, 2016 by Malin 6 Comments

Twin brothers, orphaned at seven, Albert and Edward Alcott were sent to be raised by a family friend, the Marquess of Marsden at Havisham Hall. Insane with grief after losing his wife, Marsden wasn’t exactly the best person to raise his own son and three orphaned boys (the third being the Duke of Ashebury, hero of the first book in the series).
