I *flippin* LOVE and her books. Her lead boys are so deliciously broody and so deliciously Scottish that I cannot handle it. This book is taking us to the Western Isles of Scotland, to the Isle of Rona (I looked it up and it looks completely barren, but for the sake of history, let’s say […]
Yet again, is hitting us with some real-life relationship issues layered over top of simmering sexual tension. It’s like a cake. Everybody loves cake. (Actually I prefer ice cream, but that didn’t work for the metaphor/Shrek quote…ANYHOO.) Scarlett Jones has battled insecurity her whole life. She lost her mother as a baby and was raised […]
The Peasant’s Dream by is the eleventh book in the series , which is a cross between historical fiction and fairytale retellings. Here we get the story of the youngest daughter of the duke of Hagenheim, Adela, and an aspiring woodcarver, Frederick. This gender bent retelling of Cinderella is an easy read, though tedious at […]
Oof. That’s all I can say after finishing the first in The Grisha Series by Leigh Bardugo. I don’t know how long it’s going to take me to write this review because my feelings are so big about it. First, let me say I listened to this one, and subsequently bought a hardback copy. This […]
If you’ve read my reviews before, you’ve seen me swoon over Scottish Historical Romances many times! I cannot tell you how badly I want to go to Scotland. It hurts me that I’ve never been there. To top it off, when I did my genealogy, I learned that I have ancestors from Ayr, which is […]
You know how you start a book and you think you know how it’s going to go and then it hits a little harder than you thought it would? Yeah…that’s what happens every time I read a book. Chills and tears several times in this one – fair warning. 😉 Ben Tanner is a bit […]
The book that started it all! The Trouble with Christmas by is the first book in her series and perhaps my favorite of the entire series. The little town of Christmas has never seen anyone like Madison Lane, and the trouble she brings with her keeps Sheriff Gage McBride on his toes. I fell in […]
Last year I read ‘s Storm and Fury not realizing that it was a spin-off series until I was nearly finished with the book. All year I debated going back and reading the series that started it, but I kept putting it off. I love Zayne and Trinity, and based on what I’d learned about […]
Gah! Y’all I stayed up way too late to finish this book because I NEEDED to know what was going to happen. I knew a cliffhanger was coming, it wouldn’t be a Kristoff book without a horrific cliffhanger, but this cliffhanger destroyed me. If you’ve read book one, you’ll understand this next statement….it isn’t as […]
This review first appeared on YA Books Central. The Call of the Rift: Flight by is the first book in an alternate-historical fantasy about Kateiko, a young Rin girl on the cusp of adulthood. This beautiful story is full of lush descriptions and roughly based on lesser-known legends and myths of the indigineous people of […]
