Review: How the Dukes Stole Christmas by Tessa Dare, Sarah MacLean, Sophie Jordan, and Joanna Shupe
Four Stars It has been a long time since I was excited about an anthology. When four of the reigning queens of historical romance decide to pair up, I was over the moon ready for these sweet novellas. I mean, a whole anthology featuring grouchy Dukes?? What's not to love!

Review: Fight or Flight by Samantha Young
Two Stars TI desperately, desperately wanted to like this book. I have been a Samantha Young fan for years, and I usually think her books are the perfect balance of emotion and romance. Unfortunately, I was about a hairsbreadth away from DNFing this book for the majority of it. Only my curiosity about how Caleb … Continue reading Review: Fight or Flight by Samantha Young
Review: Strong by Kylie Scott

Review: A Notorious Vow by Joanna Shupe
Joanna Shupe has quickly become one of my favorite historical romance authors. Her fun and trope-y plot lines pull me in and her beautifully well-rounded characters keep me invested. A Notorious Vow was a fabulous marriage of convenience story with a deaf, reclusive hero and a painfully shy heroine. Oliver was a wonderful hero. He … Continue reading Review: A Notorious Vow by Joanna Shupe
Review: Runaway Girl by Tessa Bailey
Why should Young Adult novels corner the market on coming of age stories? This was an adult coming of age story for our heroine Naomi and I loved watching her journey to find herself. Let me just say, runaway brides are not my usual jam. There have been a select few I've truly enjoyed and … Continue reading Review: Runaway Girl by Tessa Bailey
Review: The Good Luck Charm by Helena Hunting
The Good Luck Charm is the first romance novel I've recently read that felt more like a young/new adult novel when the characters were in their late twenties. That might not be a problem for many people. Like many second chance romance novels, the hero, NHL player Ethan, and the heroine, professional nurse and aspiring … Continue reading Review: The Good Luck Charm by Helena Hunting
Review: Rebel Hard by Nalini Singh
I am not sure if I have the words to adequately express how much I loved Rebel Hard, but I am going to try. I'm still not over this book. I read this book in one amazing day and resented each and every time I needed to stop for things like food. It is absolutely … Continue reading Review: Rebel Hard by Nalini Singh
