I recently finished up the second novel in Valerie Bowman’s Playful Brides series: The Accidental Countess. Back cover blurb: For seven long years, Lady Cassandra Monroe has waited for the man of her dreams to return from the war. Unfortunately, he happens to be engaged to her flighty cousin. What Cass wouldn’t give to take […]

I have been wanting to apply at Netgalley for some time now. My blog is growing but it’s not huge… yet. So I hesitated. Waited ’til the time was right. Stalled. And today I just went for it. Nothing ventured nothing gained and all that strengthen yourself talk, ya know? 🙂 Truth is I love […]

Long, long ago before there were sparkly vampires. In the days of imagination taking flight through an author’s words only. There was the Wings in the Night series by Maggie Shayne. I have three all time favorite series or ongoing novels. Wings in the Night was the first in that list – the other two […]
Reissue/Reprint Wednesday is a new feature here born from a discovery today that a long-time, often re-read trilogy is being re-released in trade size format with brand new covers. Yay!

I admit it. I have a serious case of book envy going on now. Yesterday and this morning I went through the list of blogs taking part in the Stacking the Shelves meme over at Tynga’s Reviews. Oh. My. Goodness. Not only did I find some really interesting new (to me) book blogs to follow […]
I absolutely loved this novel and am so looking forward to the next book in the series. Here is the book blurb from Goodreads: All of London knows the Duke of Rutherford has position and wealth. They also whisper that he’s dissolute, devilish, and determinedly unwed. So why, everyone is asking, has he hired a […]
This is an older novel that like many books, has been reprinted. A friend gave me a copy of Dangerous Passions a few months ago. I just got around to reading it a few weeks ago, and have finally finished it. Yes, that’s right – weeks. Here’s the book blurb from Goodreads: Let bestselling author […]
Let me start this review with a sort of disclaimer: I have always loved Kay Hooper’s Bishop/Special Crimes Units novels. That enjoyment doesn’t mean that I don’t know that some are better than others – but – I enjoy the stories nonetheless. Having said that… from Goodreads: How do you make peace with the dead […]
