Cool cover- check. Post-apocalypticish paranormally romance with strong female lead- check. Ruby Dixon. Checkity, check, check, check! I've so (so!) been looking forward to this book and it did not disappoint. These kind of stories tend to lean heavily on reliable trope: alien male finds his one true human mate, he glowers, she fights it, and by then end we are all swooning. Fire in Her Eyes, turns the tables and the otherworldly Drakoni protagonist is a dangerously protective and 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

Guest Post: Five Contrary Heroines I Adore by Therese Beharrie
I started writing ONE DAY TO FALL because I wanted to write a heroine who didn’t conform. Not to society, which doesn’t favour women, or to her family, who favours society’s expectations of women. We tend to call these heroines unlikeable, but I like the idea of them being grumpy. They’re too busy fighting the patriarchy to smile, thank you very much. I like the idea of them being contrary even more. Even to the expectations of the reader… I think these heroines should be celebrated, so here Continue Reading

I know my own mind.” He gave a short laugh. “I don’t know my own half the time.” That caught her up short. “But do you want this, too?” “Yes.” It was the truth. She could tell by his hands, which moved up and down her back of their own accord, and then stopped abruptly every time he had a doubt, a shadow, a memory. She wanted to Continue Reading

Top Ten August 12
10 . No top ten from me would be complete without a picture of Kitty Scarlett 9. Beverly Hills 90210- It’s back. I was a devout 90210 fan. I loved Dylan from the beginning.

Three words- Bachelor In Paradise? Is anyone else watching this? I wanted to and then realized it is on two nights a week for two Continue Reading
