Set in Queens, New York, the contemporary romance Guardian is the story of Alex and Titus, called Ty, although Titus is way cooler, if you ask me, which Sierra Riley did not. Opposites attracting, Alex is an attorney for a family law practice, Ty runs an auto repair shop and is raising his young niece, Phoebe. They meet when Alex’s car breaks down and Ty’s business is the closest to hand. They are brought together again when Ty is drawn into a custody battle for Phoebe. […]
A historical romance with a treasure hunt
4.5 stars Hyacinth Bridgerton is the youngest, and probably most outspoken and nosy of all the eight Bridgerton siblings. Her mother is starting to despair that she’ll ever find a husband, as even with a raised dowry, her refusal to suffer fools and her tendency to talk interested suitors’ ears off has tended to scare off most potential suitors. Hyacinth herself is quite happy to become a spinster, she certainly can’t abide the thought of a man who can’t match wits with her. If she […]
“Come to My Side,” He Murmured. “We Have Baked Goods and Tea.”
Her Every Wish by Courtney Milan
Courtney Milan Iconoclast … is what I assume Ms. Milan’s business cards say. Could she please to stop almost bringing me to tears with her messages of empowerment and self-determination? Why almost?

Only a Kiss Is a Swing and a Miss or Maybe a Bunt
The Survivors’ Club series has had a really good run and there is one more book to go that I will be reading when it becomes available, but Only a Kiss was a swing and a miss. I never really connected with it and, in particular, didn’t get a handle on the hero. Before I start, let’s take a moment to enjoy the gorgeous and mostly accurate (!) cover. The Survivors’ Club series follows the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars for six men and one […]
You Knew I Was Obnoxious When You Married Me
Short Version: 4.5 stars. I adored the hero and heroine and can’t remember another time I liked both protagonists so much. The plot was very good, but not quite great, so read it for Clara and Oliver, their every moment together is a delight. Long Version: Looking forward to Clara’s book in Loretta Chase’s Dressmaker’s Series, I was not disappointed. You have to love it when it feels like a book was written with you in mind. Dukes Prefer Blondes featured a Nick and Nora Charles style […]
