Need a little seasonal romance to lift your holiday spirits? The Rocking Horse was just that for me! I'm always amazed when a novella can pull me in as deeply as a novel, and this one truly did. With well-developed characters and a heartwarming tale, the story flowed so well that it was almost over before I... Continue Reading →

Book Review: A Crown So Cursed by Tanya Anne Crosby
What an utterly delicious way to end the Goldenchild series by Tanya Anne Crosby! A Crown So Cursed is a page-turning, stunning conclusion for Gwendolyn and Malik's story. Familiar characters stroll through the pages, bringing comfort, causing mayhem, and more. We won't mention what the unfamiliar ones are up to, you'll just have to see!... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Magic of Moonlight by Tracy Brogan
Maybe it's the weather or the holiday season that's finally upon us, but I cannot help but compare Magic of Moonlight to a freshly made cup of hot chocolate. Not just any hot chocolate, either, but one swirled with caramel-like prose and laced with humor like little marshmallows floating in the mug. Alex and Trudy's... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Marry Me Marquess by Misty Urban
Intelligently written, Marry Me, Marquess is a wonderful tale that kept me engaged from start to finish. It is filled with deep emotion and detailed information about the main characters' first loves—his is antiquarianism, and hers is botany. I tend to expect to be frustrated with the story based on a fake relationship. Instead, my... Continue Reading →

Modern Fairytale takes a spoiled princess from a magical realm and... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Laird of Lies by Willa Blair
This is the first book I have read in the "His Highland Heart" series. Did it matter that it was book five? Not at all! This wonderful book stands alone well without the need to have read the first four. I loved Mariota and Stellan's story so much that I plan to read its predecessors... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Countess of Stars by Kimberly Cates
When I pick up a book by this author, I know I am in for a great story. Countess of Stars was no exception. However, I did not expect the story of these characters in this sequel to Once Upon a Storm. Without explaining why (spoilers, darling!), I disliked Lucien so much in the first... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Never Dare a Duke by Gayle Callen
You know that moment. You're watching a TV program, and the main character is about to do something so wrong or embarrassing that you can't look. You close your eyes so you don't have to see it happening, but you can still listen. As uncomfortable as it is, you don't want to step away. And, when... Continue Reading →
Book Review: His Fiery Angel by Cynthia Wright
I love Cynthia Wright's writing style. However, I was a little wary when I first started reading His Fiery Angel. When we first meet Camille, "fiery" is an understatement. To be honest, she drove me a little nuts…at first. Benedict had me intrigued at his first interaction with Camille. However, when he returned to his... Continue Reading →
