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 […]
Ex Libris Romance (55)
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 […]
Ex Libris Romance (54)
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 […]
Ex Libris Romance (53)
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 […]
Ex Libris Romance (51)
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, […]
Ex Libris Romance (48)
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 […]
Ex Libris Romance (46)
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 […]
Ex Libris Romance (43)
Ever since we met Zoe a few books ago, I have been dying for her story, so All I Want was a book that I was highly anticipating! Beneath Zoe’s drive to keep everything going; the house, her career, her siblings, is her deep need to be loved and appreciated. She has had to take […]
Ex Libris Romance (41)
Oh, how I love the forced into marriage by scandal trope! This book had the added bonus of spies, secrets, and a very sweet romance that was able to build throughout the story. I really loved that there was no love at first sight for these two, because it gave the romance some room to […]
