Sophie Darling (sadly nowhere near as awesome as my favourite romance heroine with Darling as a surname) is on her way to a job interview in London and unexpectedly and happily finds herself upgraded to first class. Her joy is somewhat lessened when very handsome, but supremely grouchy Gabriel “Scottie” Scott is seated next to her, outraged that one of the two seats he’s purchased has been allotted to someone. Nonetheless, cheerful and mischievous Sophie decides to try to crack handsome guy’s crabby demeanour (at […]
How many romances have you read this year featuring glow in the dark sharks?
4.5 stars Maria Lopez runs a small niche blog where she imagines apocalyptic disaster scenarios and uses her comprehensive knowledge of science to figure out how to best try to avoid said scenarios. While it used to be just a hobby, and the blog wasn’t widely read, recently it’s getting a lot more visitors, and Maria has started getting actual job offers. She has kept her real identity closely guarded, so none of the people offering to hire her know that she’s a woman, working […]
This book ends on a cliffhanger! Know that before you start it.
Annabelle “Annie” Coffey is writing her final thesis and with only a few weeks left of term, she propositions her adviser, the postdoctoral fellow at her lab, Dr. Charles Douglas, because she believes they have “A Thing”. In a truly embarrassing and painfully awkward scene, handsome British guy Charles gently turns her down, because he is her boss and it would be massively inappropriate for him to sleep with her. Annie is convinced she’s not wrong about the chemistry between them, and that she’s not […]
College, hockey, and boys–a sweet love story
After finishing The Year We Hid Away, and with the help of Emmalita’s loan, I immediately started reading the third book in Sarina Bowen’s Ivy League Series: The Understatement of the Year (2014). Taking place at the same elite, Yale-like, hockey-centric college, this one differs primarily because the romance is about two young men rather than the more ubiquitous, romantic heterosexual couples. Michael Graham and John Rikker grew up together, and they were close friends. As puberty hit and their sexual awareness grew, they began some […]
College, scandals, and love
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the first book of Sarina Bowen’s Ivy League Series: The Year We Fell Down. It was emotionally engaging and very fun to read. Emmalita was kind enough to lend me the next two books in the series, which I managed to read in quick succession (although I am only now getting around to reviewing them.) The Year We Hid Away (2014) brings back Bridger, the partier and player, from the first book. But this year Bridger has more […]
Choose: A quick death or a slow poison…
Rating: 5/5 Summary: Yelena is about to executed for murder. In Ixia when you commit a crime, your punishment is essentially the crime itself, kind of like an eye for an eye. There are no excuses. When the guards come to retrieve her, she is taken to Valek’s office, the Commander’s assassin and spymaster. He gives her a choice: be executed now or serve as the Commander’s food taster. As the food taster, Yelena could be poisoned at any meal and die anyway. Yelena is […]
