Let the Holiday Romance Season begin! What better way to start than with one of my very favorite contemporary romance authors, Jill Shalvis! There was a lot lot like about The Trouble with Mistletoe, and I think for me it started with Willa. I loved that she owned a pet grooming business and I also […]

Ex Libris Romance (66)
This was absolutely fantastic! Instead of a scandal involving nudes released on social media or someone’s cloud being hacked, Sarah MacLean basically took the 19th century equivalent – a nude portrait that was only supposed to be for private viewing – and made it the source of the scandal that brings her guardian out of […]
Ex Libris Romance (65)
I approached this one with some trepidation because of the title, but it ended up being kind of interesting. First, the heroine is more interested in social justice for girls who are essentially trapped in brothels and has made it her life’s work to rescue them. She and Bryson have a history, which is […]
Ex Libris Romance (64)
I went back and forth about this one. On the one hand, I love the fact that she was a single mom who needed to work and was constantly being underestimated by people because she was a female (and then proving them wrong). On the other hand, I think Michael was a little two […]

Ex Libris Romance (61)
A new Jill Shalvis series! It’s odd reading a book by one of my favorites that isn’t set in the mountains, but I loved it just the same. Set in the San Fransisco Bay area, Sweet Little Lies still has everything you’d expect from a Jill Shalvis book: sexy guys, smart heroines, and a sense […]
Ex Libris Romance (59)
This very sexy book actually turned out to be a very emotional story about finding your place, even if it’s not where you thought it would be. Rita has lived in her mother’s shadow her whole life and now that she’s gone, Rita and her siblings want to fulfill one last wish. I love […]
Ex Libris Romance (58)
I loved this book and much of the source of my love was just the pure crazy of the plot. It basically involves a man pretending to be his twin brother in order to keep his brother’s widow from possibly losing the baby she carries. On top of that, as Edward pretends to be his […]
Ex Libris Romance (57)
A self-made Scottish hero and a hidden baby story – sign me up! I came across this as a recommended read and I really enjoyed it. Virginia is an American who is not your typical headstrong, going against the grain type of heroine. No, Virginia is a rule follower, which is how she ends up […]
Ex Libris Romance (56)
Ah, the ‘brother’s friend’ trope. It’s been used a lot and for good reason. It creates a history between two love interests (sometimes a bad one) and gives the chance for the ‘friend’s annoying younger sibling becomes desirable’ transformation. Along Came A Rogue was fun and held just the right amount of intrigue via […]
