The Heiress Gets a Duke by Harper St. GeorgeHistorical RomanceJanuary 26, 2021 by Berkley Review by Angela If I'm being completely honest it was the cover for this book that caught my eye and had me requesting for review.

Review: Would I Lie to the Duke by Eva Leigh
Would I Lie to the Duke by Eva Leigh(The Union of Rakes #2)July 28, 2020, by Avon Review by Kate Would I Lie to the Duke is a book I was looking forward to in 2020 (remember 2020? seventeen years ago?). I'll admit, I was lukewarm on My Fake Rake, the first book in The Union of Rakes series. It felt somewhat bland to me, but the Duke of Rotherby was a standout character, so I was very excited to read his happily ever after. Look - I have four highlights from My Fake Rake, and all of them Continue Reading

Starcrossed by Allie TherinMagic in Manhattan Book 2Paranormal Historical RomanceMay 18, 2020 by Carina Press Starcrossed by Allie Therin is book 2 in a 1920s set PNR with a bunch of different magical abilities.

King of Libertines by Pam GodwinHistorical RomanceMay 6, 2020 by Heartbound Media Because I LOVED Sea of Ruin so much, I clicked the free prequel novella, King of Libertines by Pam Godwin to get another pirate fix.

You can read it before or after Sea of Ruin and still really enjoy the story.The short story sets up how Priest (hero) and Bennett (heroine) first meet and takes place between chapters five and six of the timeline in Sea Continue Reading
Review: Sea of Ruin by Pam Godwin
Sea of Ruin by Pam GodwinHistorical RomanceApril 28, 2020Heartbound Media Reviewed by Jen I’m such an avid reader, yet I never joined a book club until this summer. The first book assigned was Sea of Ruin by Pam Godwin. I was busy and had so many other books on my TBR list, so I never got around to this one. Part of my reluctance was because it’s a pirate romance. I just didn’t see myself as a pirate girl. I picked the book up again last week and I’m here to tell you, ladies…I AM a pirate Continue Reading

When a Rogue Meets His Match by Elizabeth HoytGreycourt #2Historical RomanceDecember 1, 2020, by ForeverARC Reviewed by Angela I didn't love Not the Duke's Darling, the first book in the Greycourt series. Between all the plot threads, side stories, and backstories it was just A LOT. But I was intrigued by the Greycourt family and I really love this author, so I decided to give book two a go. I'm very glad I did. When a Rogue Meets His Match features Messalina Greycourt, a beautiful, Continue Reading

A Stitch in Time by Kelley ArmstrongThorne Manor #1Time Travel/Gothic RomanceOctober 13, 2020 by Subterranean PressARC I grabbed this book simply because the premise sounded interesting and it was written by Kelley Armstrong. The last time I picked up a Kelley Armstrong book it had werewolves and witches. A Stitch in Time is a lovely, gothic time-travel romance. This was such a nice, easy read. I mean yeah, there were ghosts and slips through time and a murder mystery to solve, but I Continue Reading
