Silly but fun.

October 19, 2015 by narfna 5 Comments

Okay, someone do me a favor and come slap me if I decide to download another romance novel audiobook any time other than a weekend where I preferably can do nothing but sit like a lump while listening to it for however long it takes to finish it. Because this is twice now where I’ve downloaded one (both of them Tessa Dares) and my need to listen to them has gotten in the way of things I should be doing. There’s just something about a […]

The guy on the cover is really pretty, though

October 7, 2015 by alwaysanswerb 1 Comment

Oh, dear. Well, it’s really not so bad as all that. But the bottom line is, I really, really wanted to love this book. I have loved the rest of the series. And, my very good friend — with whom I share the majority of my romance reads — recently asked, “Do you have a thing for Scots?” and I had to admit I do delve into Highland romance quite a bit, so this should have been such a home run. But it wasn’t. I […]

“there appears to be a dark brown octopus attacking your head.”

September 23, 2015 by faintingviolet 8 Comments

I can’t believe I’m writing my 80th review for the year. We are now well passed my goal of a cannonball and a half. Because of you crazy people I have endeavored to read more authors in romance, not just more romances. This brings me to Tessa Dare and Romancing the Duke. Meet Isolde Ophelia Goodnight, impoverished 26-year-old securely on the shelf and without a means to support herself. She’s just inherited a castle (in serious disrepair) from her godfather whom she did not know […]

She started an unorthodox penpal scheme. You won’t believe what happened next!

Did you like my click-bait headline? I’m not going to lie, I’m quite proud of it. 🙂 Shy and scientifically-minded Miss Madeline Gracechurch suffers from anxiety attacks and couldn’t bear the thought of having to be out in society during the Season. So she comes up with a fictional suitor, a strapping and handsome Scotsman that she met on the beach in Brighton and who’s unfortunately gone off to fight Napoleon. She keeps writing letters to the brave Captain Logan MacKenzie to keep up with […]

Romance novels on audiobook are SO MUCH FUN YOU GUYS.

August 19, 2015 by narfna 12 Comments

Good god, people. This was an impulse audio checkout from the library, and it completely consumed every minute of free time I’ve had in the twenty-four hours after I checked it out. I’ve never read a romance novel on audio before, and it was so entertaining. This particular book was very charming and swoonworthy, and I ended up loving it. I mean, I was pathological about this book. I listened to it every chance I got. At one point, I for real snuck my iPhone […]

Perfect little historical romance novella.

July 10, 2015 by narfna 5 Comments

A couple of weekends ago some friends and I had a girl’s weekend at a hotel and I spent the morning reading at the pool. My friends all made fun of me when I busted this out, but I don’t even care. It was really cute. (None of them read romance novels, so I’m really not sure what they thought when they saw this sucker. Probably lots of things that were mostly wrong.)* *Oh my God. I just had the weirdest urge to interview all […]
