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.

Other Broken Things By Christa Desir
From the outside, Nat seems to benefit from her privilege; she got drunk, got in a wreck, her dad paid for a lawyer, and she got some court ordered rehab and AA meetings. As you dive deeper into the story, you see that Nat is a person who struggles under the weight of two unhappy […]
The Last Leaves Falling By Sarah Benwell
When I got The Last Leaves Falling in the mail and read the jacket copy, I steeled myself for a cry-fest. Make no mistake, this book is very sad, but it is a peaceful sadness. Sora is a Japanese teen who is diagnosed with ALS, which is very rare in kids […]

The Status Of All Things By Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke
I grabbed this book from Edelweiss because the premise was so interesting. What if you could get a do over simply by updating your Facebook status? Although the writing did not flow very well, the story itself started out strong as we are dropped into the hours before the wedding rehearsal dinner. The devastation of […]
