Summer reading: It’s in his kiss

It’s in his kiss by Jill Shalvis

December 29, 2022 by persnickety chick 1 Comment

It’s been a while.  Not because I haven’t been reading, but trying to write an internal audit assessment and changing jobs made me avoid writing much else in the last few months.  So a mad dash to document what i have read. Starting with this one.  It’s a later entry into the Lucky Harbour series- a romance series set around a small seaside town in the Pacific Northwest with a high concentration of beautiful people getting together. This one features Becca, a travelling young woman […]

The way I dropped everything to listen to this when my ARC request was approved.

Extra Witchy (Fix-It Witches, #3) by Ann Aguirre

December 28, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

Thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the content of my review. I really like this series. There’s bits about it that I would tweak if I could, but overall this is a really well put together contemporary magical romance series, and I like where she’s taking it. I hope there are more books. I feel like there will be with some of the side character stuff going on in here. This book follows Leanne, the driven political witch, who […]

“Sexuality is complicated. It’s not static. People change and sexuality can change too.”

Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail (Bright Falls, #2) by Ashley Herring Blake

December 28, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the contents of my review. This was a teeny bit of a disappointment for me after having loved Delilah Green Doesn’t Care so much, but it was still good! Just not a favorite. We’re following Delilah’s Type-A sister, Astrid, and another character named Jordan as they fall in lurve. Astrid has been hired as the designer for the renovation of the Everwood Inn, a locally famous inn that is supposedly haunted. They are televising the renovation […]

Finishing up The Brown Sisters’ Trilogy

Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert

December 27, 2022 by teresaelectro 2 Comments

After reading Get a Life, Chloe Brown, I knew I just had to read the trilogy by Talia Hibbert. I often buy books and forget I own them. So I was delighted when I discovered I already owned the second novel, Take a Hint, Dani Brown, as an e-book. Thanks past me! Chloe’s sister Dani aka Danika is the lead in the second novel. She is a bisexual professor who has given up on relationships. She broke up with her ex-girlfriend because things were getting […]

The Most Noble of Ladies… and the Gunmaker’s Grandson

The Regal by Kate Archer

December 26, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

The duchess has finally settled on a young lady to sponsor, and in true duchess fashion this young lady is quite a noble one, with the blood of the Plantagenets running in her veins. Now if only she wouldn’t insist on entangling herself with a recent baron! This is the conclusion of A Series of Worthy Young Ladies, a comic Regency romance series I have been following all year, and it was a good book to wrap up the whole saga. The hero is Harry […]

Beautiful Reimagining, blend of myth and romance

The Girl who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh

December 26, 2022 by LB Leave a Comment

The Girl who Fell Beneath the Sea is a book that immediately intrigued me because of the gorgeous cover, and then the synopsis truly dragged me in. Mina lives in a small village by the sea where every year, for the last one hundred years, they’ve sacrificed a bride to the Sea God in the hopes of quelling the storms that have plagued the country since the death of the Emperor. This year the sacrifice is supposed to be Shim Cheong, the beloved of Mina’s […]
