Romance Review: Any Rogue Will Do
This is a delightful enemies-to-friends-to-lovers story featuring two characters at the fringes of high society. Lady Charlotte and Ethan are mocked and shunned by the Ton following an almost-scandal that took place nearly a decade before the story starts. Lottie blames Ethan for having had to flee London… and he blames himself too. Now she’s … Continue reading Romance Review: Any Rogue Will Do
Mystery Review: Gingerdead Man
Gingerdead Man is the seventh installment in Maya Corrigan’s Five-Ingredient Mystery series. As it often happens, I hadn’t read the previous books in the series, but it wasn’t hard to jump into this one and get to know the residents of Bayport, Maryland. The series centers around Val Deniston, a thirty-something caterer who lives with … Continue reading Mystery Review: Gingerdead Man
Romance Review: The Duke Who Didn’t
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. This delightful, low-angst romance came along at the perfect time for me, just when I needed an uplifting story with a triumphant ending. Courtney Milan’s new Wedgeford Trials series takes place in a small English village with a diverse, close-knit population. The … Continue reading Romance Review: The Duke Who Didn’t
Romance Review: When the Earl Met His Match
This historical romance was more miss than hit for me. It’s the fourth book in Stacy Reid’s Wedded by Scandal series, and centers around Phoebe and Hugh, who enter into a marriage of convenience for different personal reasons. Phoebe, whose fiancé decided he’d rather be paid off by her family than fight for her hand, … Continue reading Romance Review: When the Earl Met His Match
YA Review: The Book of Hidden Wonders
This is a hard book to categorize, because it has so many facets. It’s part (maybe) YA, part mystery, part suspense, and even has a hint of fantastical ghost story to it. The final result is a chilling coming of age story about a young girl and her father. Romilly Kemp and her dad move … Continue reading YA Review: The Book of Hidden Wonders
Romance Review: Everything a Lady Is Not
Everything a Lady Is Not, the first book in Sawyer North’s Bow Street Beaus series, is a sweet Regency romance with a very classic, almost Jane Austen-like feel. It tells the story of Margaret (aka Lucy Locket), a young woman rescued and raised by a highwayman following a robbery gone wrong. As the story opens, … Continue reading Romance Review: Everything a Lady Is Not
Romance Review: The Roommate Problem
The Roommate Problem is the third installment in Mariah Ankenman’s Mile High Happiness series, whose heroines are co-owners of a wedding planning company. Moira “Mo” Rossi has, by now, been left alone in the apartment she shared with Lily and Pru (the heroines of the previous two books), and is desperately hoping the roommate due … Continue reading Romance Review: The Roommate Problem
Romance Review: Who Wants to Marry a Duke
Who Wants to Marry a Duke is the third title in Sabrina Jeffries’ delightfully-named Duke Dynasty series; the two previous books are Duchess Project and The Bachelor (which does, in fact, involve a rose being handed out at one point). I mention this because, although the romance for each novel in the series is standalone, … Continue reading Romance Review: Who Wants to Marry a Duke
Fiction Review: The Geometry of Holding Hands
Isabel Dalhousie, philosopher, returns in the thirteenth volume of this series. I jumped into this one cold, since I haven’t read the previous Dalhousie books, but I immediately fell in love with Isabel and the way her mind works. Geometry has a very loose plot, involving an inheritance Isabel is asked to manage, plus her … Continue reading Fiction Review: The Geometry of Holding Hands
Romance Review: The Revolutionary and the Rogue
The Revolutionary and the Rogue, by Blake Ferre There still aren’t nearly enough queer historical romance novels out there, although things have definitely improved in the past several years. So I was thrilled to see this title by Entangled, one of my favorite romance publishers. The story takes place in Paris, as the triumph of … Continue reading Romance Review: The Revolutionary and the Rogue
