Bleh. I just did not like this book very much. I wanted something historical and heartfelt and I have loved everything else I have read by Carla Kelly, so I thought this would be a safe choice. It just wasn’t very good. There is a lot of plot packed in to one little book. James Trevenan was a sailor who survived a shipwreck and lived alone on a deserted island for five years (somewhere in the early 1800s – George III is still King, but […]
The Madness of Lord Radnor
I’ve been looking forward to this book since I finished the first one by Cat Sebastian, The Soldier’s Scoundrel, which I reviewed here earlier. This book is about Georgie Turner, the younger brother to Jack Turner in the first book. Georgie is a thief, born and bred on the streets of London. He has no misconception of what he is and where his desires lay. His only code of conduct is not to take advantage of anyone who is naive and that is what gets […]
“Contains elections, confections, and a number of erections.”
3.5 stars Weeks ago, I finished Sweet Disorder, and this is why you cannot wait to review books, because I can’t honestly remember too many details about it. I am not going to make a snarky comment on the memorability of the book itself, even if that may apply, because the actual issue here is that I have garbage for brains and a singular talent for avoiding doing anything so productive as reviewing the books I inhale. Anyway. Goodreads says: “Nick Dymond enjoyed the rough-and-tumble […]

This results in the expected shenanigans and embarrassments. Kit is forced to spend an extended stay with the fiancee in his brother’s country house […]
Scandal, No Not The TV Show
I am laughing so hard as I think of this book and what to write. Look I used to devour Amanda Quick’s older books with the one word description and usually a random object on the cover. There were some that were really good. And there were some that may be wonder about the intelligence of the hero/heroine involved. “Scandal” is definitely the latter. You have a sort of reformed rake trope taking place here (though the hero is not really a rake, he’s just […]
Four reviews for the price of one!
This review (more like book synopsis) is for a collection of four books all rolled in to one. I didn’t read them all at once (or even in proper order), but overall the things I liked and disliked about them apply to the whole series, so I’m rolling them in to one. FYI: I started picking these books up at Mrs. Julien‘s suggestion when one was free. Then I collected the others over time and ending up spending only $1 to own the whole series. […]
