Ever since reading My Kind of Wonderful, I have been dying for Jacob’s story. Both the main characters were kind of a mess, although in different ways, at the beginning of this book. Jacob struggled with feelings of guilt after his friend’s death in combat and Sophie was struggling with feelings of inadequacy as she […]

Duke of My Heart was such a wonderful and refreshing historical romance. Where this genre used to be ruled by very young and inexperienced female protagonists, I am liking the trend I see of women with more complex histories being written into these books. While I love all historical romance, don’t get me […]

Ok, listen. You are going to want to roll your eyes and ignore this book because of the ridiculous title. (Why, Harlequin, WHY??) You shouldn’t, though, because this book was such an amazing find. Its about a 9/11 widow who cannot move on and an introverted art appraiser who is trying to convince herself […]

Call Me Maybe was a different kind of NA romance, but that is not a bad thing at all. The virtual meet cute was a very interesting way for these meet these two characters and it allowed them the space to get to know each other before meeting in person. Clementine’s wealth, which she tried […]

I really loved this one! We see a lot of 19th century Scottish romance and a lot of pre-Culloden Highlander romance, but Sutherland’s Secret takes place in the time immediately following Culloden when it was very dangerous to identify with the Highlander way of life. To compound that danger, we have Eleanor, who is English, […]

I ended up really enjoying this one. Without realizing it, I read the third book in this series, which center around three roommates and their romance shenanigans. Chase me is the first in the series, which introduces Roxy, who is your typical Jersey Girl; outspoken, string, and not taking crap from anyone. However, her dream […]

One thing I love about Sarah MacLean’s books are the heroines, who are always the right combination of romantic and unconventional for their time. Sophie is not exception. Her impulsive decision to leave town by hiding in a carriage that she thought was going back to her neighborhood. King was an interesting character as […]

Bailey has lived through a very serious illness so her enjoy life while you can approach is in direct contrast to Hudson’s dedication to all of the commitments in his life. Their relationship has sparks from the start and Hud’s protectiveness is a great foil to Bailey’s determination to be independent. Throw in her meddling […]

No one writes feminist romance like Victoria Dahl…I mean, no one. I am not a big erotica reader, but this book really blew me away. It combined a very emotional story with some blazingly hot sexy times. I loved Jessica, who did what she had to do to survive, and while she regretted how much […]

I really should just say – It’s a Lisa Kleypas book, do you really need me to convince you? However, if you haven’t read anything by one of my very favorite romance authors, let me tell you that you are missing out. Cold Hearted Rake is the first book in a new series and this […]
