May’s Love of the Ugly Hero
I love the tale of Beauty & the Beast except for one thing: when the beast turns into a wimpy little pretty boy prince at the end. The thing is, I liked reading about a dark, physically unappealing man and how he woos his lady love. She doesn’t have to be a beauty either.

Not often at all, and my recent reading and Continue Reading

Tuesday Tidbits
I just finished Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase. Yes, I am the last historical romance fan on the planet to have read this book. I told my husband I can't believe it came out in 1995 and I have never read it!! He doesn't seem to think 1995 was that long ago...but I have missed 14 years of obsessing over this book! (14 yrs ago I probably would not have appreciated it like I do now though) I am in complete love with both Sebastian and Jessica. In my opinion, this book was perfection. The Continue Reading
