Ohhh, I want to go to Brighton! That was my first thought when I read the title of this anthology. Anyone who is a fan of the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice knows exactly what scene that line is from. (Just for the record, this collection of stories is nothing like that.) So, as...

There is nothing I love more than slowly, happily, sinking into a smoothly crafted Romance novel, and that is just what I did with Her Bridegroom List!

Book Review: Tell Me Sweet by Misty Urban
It's very rare that I find myself missing a book a few days after I finished it. This is one of those books. It's also one of those novels that starts at a simmer, then builds to a slow boil, and then becomes nearly impossible to put down! That's one of my favorite styles! The... Continue Reading →

Continuing my endeavor to read a Christmas Romance novella every day...or almost every day, as the case may be, brings me to Boughs of Folly!

Book Review: Making Merry by Kerrigan Byrne
A snowstorm, a ghost, and a mystery, oh my! Making Merry drew me in quickly, and I couldn't put it down! Mind you, I have a hard time resisting Romance novels (or, in this case, novellas) with a main character who is a ghost. The possibilities for resolution are practically endless. This heart-touching story was... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Rocking Horse by Holly Newman
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.

Book Review: Surrender to the Earl by Gayle Callen
I think I'll start this tonight, I said at bedtime, followed by "just one chapter." The next thing I knew, it was 11:35 and my cat was pacing back and forth, swishing her tail against my face and trying to sit on my phone. I was reading on a Kindle app. She didn't like that... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Return of the Viscount by Gayle Callen
Oh, I do love a good escape into a book by Gayle Callen! Return of the Viscount was that and more: a true page-turner filled with mystery and intrigue, topped by a blossoming romance. Add to that a perfect cup of coffee and my comfy chair, and I was a happy Llama indeed. I found... Continue Reading →

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.

Chasing Dreams by Jaclyn Reding
Oh, how I love Jaclyn Reding's work! Everything I have read by her has been thoroughly engrossing, and Chasing Dreams is no exception. With well-crafted characters, twists, and turns, Cassia and Rolfe's story kept my attention from start to finish. I just couldn't put it down! The second in a two-book series (Merry Monarchs), it...
