The Viscount Who Loved Me💍+ Modern Shanghai🥢🥟

This book has been out for awhile, and I‘m so happy I finally read this! Victorian romance between an heiress who fled Mexico and the grandson of an escaped slave (who‘s working in parliament to end the slave trade). I thought the author did a good job of inserting history in this romance without making it too dark or heavy. I really enjoyed it, and I‘m looking forward to reading the next one!

#bookhaul from The Corner Nook, a sweet little shop in Parker CO, last night. I was there doing a bookish craft with my SIL (see next post) and, naturally, couldn't resist adding to my library. The owner raved about the series the tagged book belongs to so I'm eager to try it.


I am really loving this series. This one was a fun change of scenery being set mostly in India (or traveling there from London) and the courtship of these characters was unconventional which added to the story. This heroine wasn‘t my favorite, but I still enjoyed the story. #historicalromance

I‘m glad this was on @rachelsbrittain ‘s #auldlangspine list, as I‘ve wanted to read something by Alyssa Cole for a while.
It‘s a pretty spicy romance with an interracial couple during the civil war. Both characters are spies for the north stationed in the south, and their attraction is complicated.
A low pick for me, but I‘m glad I read it.
(Also glad I was working alone today while listening- steamy!)
This was my January #bookspin 😁📚.

I have been sick since 2026 started and haven‘t felt like reading at all. 😭 I did finally decide to pick up this short and probably fluffy book to see if I‘m still capable of reading despite feeling like trash.
