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 […]

Loving your enemy

October 17, 2017 by Mikki Blu Leave a Comment

This is book two in the Sins of the City series, set in Victorian England and it carries the tale forward that left the reader hanging at the end of the first book.  I won’t go into too much detail on that one here, as you can read my review on that one if you’re interested.  Nathanial Roy is a former lawyer, now crusading journalist who is helping his friend Clem with some legal battles.  In the course of his work, he meets Justin Lazarus, […]

Attention: Everyone. I loved this book.

September 4, 2017 by narfna 2 Comments

“The great and tragic love story of Percy and me is neither great nor truly a love story, and is tragic only for its single-sidedness … Rather, it is simply the tale of how two people can be important to each other their whole lives, and then, one morning quite without meaning to, one of them wakes to find that importance has been magnified into a sudden and intense desire to put his tongue in the other’s mouth.” This was a delightful confection of a […]

Perverted Ghosts

July 18, 2017 by Lane Leave a Comment

This book is not my usual type, but frankly I am running out of historical m/m by authors I trust and this author was recommended on Goodreads, so I gave this a shot. From the Amazon description: When lonely artist Siôn Ruston retreats to the seaside village of Rosewick Bay, Yorkshire, to recover from a suicide attempt, he doesn’t expect to encounter any ghosts, let alone the one who appears in his bedroom every morning at dawn. He also doesn’t expect to meet his ghost’s […]

this is a terrible idea, but I’m going to let it happen anyway

June 18, 2017 by Lane Leave a Comment

This is a short novel following a bit player from the Enlightenment series Iain Sinclair. Iain and James are childhood friends, though Iain is a few years older, that have a falling out. This book goes back and forth, showing bits from their relationship out of order as well as showing the present when they are no longer on good terms. As the story unfolds it is revealed just how much Iain has failed James over the years and how much they meant to each […]
