After reading Wilde in Love and immediately falling in love with James’s writing and story, I couldn’t resist reading Too Wilde to Wed early and sharing my thoughts. While I will certainly continue reading books in this series, this one didn’t live up to the first book. I felt like I read two different stories. The first half followed the romantic set-up with […]
The first two books of this series made me question what would become of The Luck of the Bride and it’s safe to say it was all over the place. If you’ve read the previous two books, you’ll be able to fall right back into the world of the Cavenshams and all the drama surrounding the family. And if you haven’t, […]
I’m not sure if it was intentional, but Suitors and Sabotage reminded me a bit of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. To be fair, it’s referenced in the book as the play the characters put on at one point so perhaps there was more intent there than I initially thought. The third of Anstey’s historical romances, I’m at odds with how I […]
Good morning, Knights! How has your Tuesday been so far? Good? (I hope so!) I’m bringing a new cover to you for Sarah Fine’s upcoming novel, The Serpent! You might know her other works such as the Impostor Queen series among others. Now 47North is bringing you her new adult urban fantasy/paranormal romance! Y’all, I used to binge-read this genre SO […]
I honestly wasn’t sure how it was going to go reading Tiger’s Dream so many years after finishing the 4th book. My reading tastes have changed and my opinions on the series, as a whole, aren’t the same that they used to be. For anyone who missed the synopsis on this one and was wondering, the book is from Kishan’s perspective […]
While Lady Be Bad didn’t set me up with much hope for this series, Lady Be Reckless helped save it from total demise. Featuring the next of the Howlett sisters, this romance follows Olivia on her quest to win the heart of Lord Carson, the man who her sister was supposed to marry (for that particular story, check out the first book in the series). […]
Lady Be Bad is yet another historical romance I’ve added to my list of promising stories with mediocre execution. I don’t feel particularly strongly about any elements in the book because, frankly, I didn’t care about the story or characters enough to bother. Eleanor needs to marry well in order to raise her family up in the eyes of society. The […]
I have a lot of mixed feelings about The First Kiss of Spring. This was probably one of the first romances I’ve read where some of the harsher truths of reality were brought to the forefront. Definite trigger warnings for addiction and drug abuse, as well as child abuse in lesser detail. Let’s start with Caitlin. She acts like a child […]
