Mini Review - A Duke in Shining Armor by Loretta Chase

November 16, 2017 | Book Review by Austine

The first thought that comes to mind after finishing this book is. . . well, frankly it was a bit weird. You know how sometimes series will read as standalones but certain characters appear throughout the series (well, this happens in romance a lot, at least)? That’s kind of how this book felt. Despite being the first in the series, this felt like a continuation […]

Review - The Truth About Love and Dukes by Laura Lee Guhrke

November 8, 2017 | Book Review by Austine

What even was this book? I mean the entire plot from the very beginning seems so far-fetched that it’s almost comical and then the characters were all up and down for me so I finished with a pretty big question mark over my head. Irene runs a newspaper featuring quite a bit of scandal news and a column offering advice to readers much like a […]

Review - The Bride Who Got Lucky by Janna MacGregor

October 26, 2017 | Book Review by Austine

A bit of time has passed since the events of The Bad Luck Bride but a few familiar faces return as the story focuses in on Emma Cavensham. All she wants is independence in a world that doesn’t really offer that option to women. And Nick St. Mauer just wants to never feel something because it only leads to pain. What worked with these two is their early […]

Review - The Scandalous Flirt by Olivia Drake

October 24, 2017 | Book Review by Austine

I’m starting to sense a theme with these Cinderella Sisterhood novels. The Scandalous Flirt is not the first I’ve read in the series (that would be the fourth book, Bella and the Beast) and in both I found that while the books as a whole are enjoyable reads, there were issues with the romances. Specifically the leading gentlemen. This time around, I’m not actually sure which fairy […]

Review - The Right Kind of Rogue by Valerie Bowman

October 21, 2017 | Book Review by Austine

I had a lot of fun reading The Right Kind of Rogue. It was one of those romances that was a bit over the top but highly entertaining and one I would recommend to fans of the genre. Meg has been in love with her best friend’s brother since she was a teenager and now that he’s finally looking for a bride she’s determined to throw […]

Review - The Laird Takes a Bride by Lisa Berne

August 28, 2017 | Book Review by Austine

I’m such a sucker for historical romances, especially ones set in Scotland. This one was an. . . interesting one compared to others I’ve read as the romance wasn’t star-crossed lovers style so much as a forced arrangement that turned into something more. I’ll be honest, the marriage between Alasdair and Fiona took me by surprise. The whole premise that there is an ancient clan […]

Review - The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare

August 7, 2017 | Book Review by Austine

For an author whose work I’ve seen time and again in the stores but never picked up, I’m just wondering what was wrong with me?! I grabbed The Duchess Deal on a whim, just happened to be looking for a historical romance that night, and couldn’t put it down. This book starts off a bit rough. You’re given very little background information and thrust right into the […]
