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…

Courtney Milan’s Turner series follows a trio of brothers who come from a gentry class and thoroughly impacted in different ways by their religiously-mad mother.

It is a family tradition though for each girl to play in the annual recital until they die or get married, whichever comes first. So here I rank the stories of the ladies behind the instruments. 1. A Night…

Ranking The Hathaways series
After finishing Bridgerton, I needed a new historical romance to keep me tide over and since I’ve heard Kleypas’ name several times (and her covers are beautiful) I decided to tackle the Hathaways. Another eccentric family of siblings and my final post for the month of love. 1: Love in the Afternoon. Kleypas’ final book…

Ranking the Bridgerton series
After finishing the first season of Bridgerton last year I delved right into the books which, let’s admit it, were better than the series. At least I thought The Duke and I (which the first season is based on) was much funnier and the couple had more chemistry than in the show so I’m going…
