Round Midnight by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner

December 2, 2016 by Kini

Round Midnight (Fly Me to the Moon, Book 2) Publication Date: November 12, 2016 Historical Romance Self Published Reviewed by Kini I follow Emma Barry on Twitter and was super excited when she mentioned she was sending out ARCs. I didn’t even look it up because I have so thoroughly enjoyed every book in this series so far. Also, it should be noted that I almost never read historical. I like my romance in the present, don’t judge me. But seriously, this series by Barry and Turner is Continue Reading

December 1, 2016 by Sheena

Review: How to Impress a Marquess by Susanna Ives Series: Wicked Little Secrets, #3 Historical Romance Released: November 1, 2016 Sourcebooks Casablanca Reviewed by Sheena TAKE ONE MARQUESS: Proper, put-upon, dependable, but concealing a sensitive artist's soul. ADD ONE BOHEMIAN LADY: Creative, boisterous, unruly, but secretly yearning for a steadfast love, home, and family.

Review: Duke of Pleasure by Elizabeth Hoyt

November 29, 2016 by Mandi

Duke of Pleasure by Elizabeth Hoyt (Maiden Lane #11) Released: November 29, 2016 Historical Romance Grand Central Reviewed by Mandi I didn't love this one, and I'm bummed! I didn't hate it or anything - I actually liked the hero and heroine separately. Just  not together - which kind of is a bad thing when reading a romance book. I don't remember the last time I wasn't thrilled with a Maiden Lane book (okay, I looked it up on Goodreads and my last less than 4-star rating was in 2013 for Continue Reading

Review: My Rogue, My Ruin by Amalie Howard and Angie Morgan

November 28, 2016 by May Flaum

My Rogue, My Ruin by Amalie Howard & Angie Morgan Historical Romance Released: November 21, 2016 Entangled Reviewed by May “..it’s no wonder you can’t find a wife. No respectable woman in her right mind would have you! You’re… you are… appalling.” Archer did the one thing he could to silence her tirade. He kissed her. It was a mistake. This is the story of two people who knew each other as children, but apparently didn’t see each other for many years which quite bluntly didn’t Continue Reading

Review: Someone to Love by Mary Balogh

November 15, 2016 by Mandi

Someone to Love by Mary Balogh (Westcott #1) Released: November 8, 2016 Historical Romance Signet Reviewed by Mandi Mary Balogh was one of the first romance authors I read, so she holds a special place in my heart. I even had that awkward, "omg I love you so much" conversation with her in an elevator once. The poor lady was trapped and couldn't escape me. I eventually let her out. My most favorite hero of hers is Wulfric - be still my heart. I didn't love her previous Survivor's Club Continue Reading

Review: The Legendary Lord by Valerie Bowman

November 10, 2016 by Sheena
