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.

With a ruined face like his, it's hard to like much about the world. Especially smart-mouthed harpies—with lips better suited to kissing than speaking—who brave his castle with indecent proposals. But Lady Continue Reading
Books with Ted Lasso Vibes
If you're one of the many people on my Twitter timeline who have discovered Ted Lasso over the past few months, you know that it is the perfect pandemic TV. It's an excellent combo of positivity, humor, and wholesomeness and the minute I finished watching the season, I started it at the beginning again. All of that is to say, I started to wonder where I could get similar feelings elsewhere, and of course where did I turn but romance novels? Below is a collection of romance novels (plus a Continue Reading

Wrapped Up in You by Talia HibbertContemporaryNovember 16, 2020Kobo Originals Reviewed by Kate Favorite quote: "Oh, sex? You think we're having sex? We've never had sex. Although I should be clear, I am hoping we will eventually have sex." He paused. "If she's into that." He paused again. "But that's, like, stage six of the plan. We're still in pre-season, Jase.

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.
