Night of the Scoundrel by Kelly BowenDevil of Dover #3.5Historical RomanceNovember 26, 2019 by Forever YoursARC Honestly?

And he is exactly the kind of sexy, dangerous, Continue Reading

Bringing Down the Duke by Evie DunmoreA League of Extraordinary Women #1Historical Romance September 3, 2019 by BerkleyARC This was a pleasant surprise!

How to Love a Duke in Ten Days by Kerrigan ByrneDevil You Know #1Historical RomanceAugust 27, 2019 by St. Martin's ARCContent Warning: rape and sexual assault I adore this author, absolutely adore.

Q & A with Kerrigan Byrne
The team from St. Martin's Press provided this Q&A from Kerrigan Byrne about her newest release, How to Love a Duke in Ten Days, out now. Q: What inspired you to write How to Love a Duke in Ten Days? A: I’ve always been one of those women who have enjoyed fierce female friendships. I think that soulmates, even for heterosexual women, can be just as necessary with other women as with men, and a real hero must not just love and respect you, but also your tribe. I wanted to write a Continue Reading
Guest Post: Divorce in Historical Romance by Felicia Grossman
Marriage (and its flipside, divorce), besides being “what brings us together, today” is one of those odd topics where civil law and religion often blend. Fitting, because I’m both a lawyer and a fairly observant Jew. Even more fitting because I wrote a historical romance featuring a twice divorced Jewish heroine called Dalliances & Devotion. And while my books don’t talk a ton about religion (I mean where’s the space? This is the book has like ten tropes: second chance, bodyguard, Continue Reading
Angela’s Tuesday ARC Reviews: Amy Harmon, Hailey Edwards, and Lorraine Heath
The First Girl Child by Amy HarmonFantasyAugust 20, 2019 by 47NorthARC This was a very different book than the previous fantasy releases I've read by this author. I would say that I was expecting more of a romance based fantasy and what I got was more of an epic fantasy with romance woven in. Still overwhelmingly lovely and beautifully written, just not exactly what I was expecting. The First Girl Child is a story of love, power, greed, selflessness, and honor. When a young battle Continue Reading

The Wallflower Wager by Tessa DareGirl Meets Duke #3Historical RomanceAugust 13, 2019 by AvonARC Tessa Dare is one of my auto-buy historical romance authors. I don't even need to read a blurb or know what the book is about to put it on my TBR list. The Wallflower Wager is the third book in her Girl Meets Duke series and I absolutely adored the two previous installments. Lady Penelope Campion had a softness for animals. Gabe had no softness at all. The Wallflower Wager features Lady Continue Reading
