• Reading Log 2023

  Last year, I read an amazing 500 books so this year it was only reasonable that I reach a little more and try to get to 600. I didn’t. I got to 700 books!! And yes, maybe it’s considered “cheating” if you count those graphic novels and lower grade books that are easy to read…

• An Island Princess Starts a Scandal Review

  The second book is always interesting to read as you may encounter sophmore slump after the dazzling debut or it exceeds expectations. Herrera’s novel, of course, is the latter as it is just as layered and wonderful as the first in Las Leonas series. Anyone who loves historical romance should go read it and this…

• Ranking Last Chance Scoundrels

  Leigh’s latest trilogy Last Chance Scoundrels series offers sweet romance mixed with spirited heroines, rakish rouges and lots of smut. You’re classic regency romance but who can’t love it. It starts with such an intresting situation when the Ransome brothers, Finn and Kieran aid their friend, Dominic Kilburn in jilting their sister. They had noble…

• Ana María and the Fox Review

  The British ton, and romance readers everywhere are startled by the arrival of the Luna Sisters after they narrowly escape their home in Mexico in the midst of the French Intervention. While the circumstances are less than ideal especially with the threat of never returning home, the girls are slightly heady with excitment. In Mexico…

• Ranking The Clandestine Affairs

  Just like Tessa Dare’s Girl Meet Duke series, this trilogy was all 5 stars for me so the ranking was very hard to do. Just minor things edged one out of the number two spot since they were all so good. 2. Her Night with the Duke: During one stormy night at the Black Swan…

• Ranking Girl Meets Duke

  However, with all the deals, games and wagers, it might be better called Casino Ducal. Alas, there’s no casinos so the title would not be accurate. What the series includes is plenty of surprising first impressions, steamy liasons and will-they-won’t-they between a quartet of misfit girls and the mad, bad, dangerous to know dukes who…

• Ranking The Union of the Rakes

  This regency romance has a special 80s twist as each novel takes homage from big screen classics like Flashdance, The Breakfast Club, and so on. I’ll confess I did not realize this until I read the Acknowledgement pages, and since the only 80s movies I’ve seen were Flashdance, and The Breakfast Club, I cannot tell…

• Ranking Desperate Duchesses

  And they’re not desperate as the title might make you think. We’re in the Georgian era people and unlike the stuffy ton, the parties are more decadent, the games, the rich more careless and everyone is out for their own pleasure. Yes, I say pleasure. All these dukes and duchesses are well-acquainted with the complications…
