Mini-reviews of The Girl Next Door, Conventionally Yours, You Should See Me in a Crown and Wrong Bed, Right Brother. So that's four contemporary romances: two f/f, one m/m and one f/m.
Eva Leigh's latest historical romance asks "Would I Lie to the Duke?" and the answer is yes, yes Jess would. But it's for a good cause and everything works out, so perhaps we can forgive Jess and forgive the author for all the 80's earworms.
I am not a fan of first person POV. In fact, I am known to click right out of a sample or fanfic when first person POV enters the chat. I am also the head cheerleader for #TeamDualPOV. So, the fact that this book is written in first person and entirely in Desta’s POV and I did not care is a pretty big indication of just how much I enjoyed it.
Mini-reviews of Girl, Serpent, Thorn; A Song of Wraiths & Ruin; Take a Hint, Dani Brown; and The Rakess. That's two YA fantasies (with romance), an f/m contemporary and an f/m historical.
Mini-reviews of Forbidden Desire, Hate Crush, The Falling in Love Montage and Daring and the Duke. So that's an f/m sex planet eRom, a steamy f/m contemporary, an f/f YA contemporary and an f/m historical.
Hi August! We are back from hiatus and sort of ready to tackle the reading world again. Sort of.
You'll notice some changes this month, including reduced social media interaction and less content overall. This team is balacing a lot right now.
Hope you find some books to read... and then tell us about them!

Now is the time for all those post-poned May books... I guess? In any case, it's a lot of books and I'm sorry. (Not really.)

Recently, my nine-year old daughter and I had a very lengthy conversation over breakfast one morning. “Mommy,” she began, “are you a Kristy or a Mary Anne or a Claudia or a Stacey?” Before I could even begin to wrap my head around her question, she’d answered it herself. “I think you’re a little bit of Kristy and maybe a little Mary Anne.” My mind had caught up by then, aware that we were maybe having our very first unofficial, mother daughter book club meeting, about none other than The Baby-Sitters Club books. A staple of most young girls' bookshelves in the 80s and 90s, this series resonated with me when I was her age and watching her discover these books three decades later has made me wonder what it was about these books that appealed to me so much and how it informed my reading choices as an adult.
Mini-reviews of The Court of Miracles, The Henna Wars, Beach Read and What I'm Looking For. So that's a YA alt-historical (not a romance), a YA f/f contemporary and two m/f contemporary romances.
