Welcome to Litsy!

“There was nothing she valued more than a cool and clear head, and Michael had managed to steal that from her with a single kiss.”

Working through the series.

These were light, fun, a little spicy historical romances. Perfect for when I could focus but wanted to read and everything will work out in the end.

This started strong, and I liked our main characters. However, at the mid point it started to drag just as it got steamy. Also the male protagonist was just a bit dim at the end. Sweet, but ultimately not super memorable. I don‘t think I will continue in the series. 3⭐️

Another super-belated review—I read this back in August.

This is Heyer, so of course it was a delight. Ancilla, companion-governess and at 28, “too old” to consider romance didn‘t factor “the Nonesuch” into her plans… The two leads are as likable, witty, and intelligent as Ancilla‘s spoiled charge, Tiffany, is annoying. The misunderstanding in the middle is far too easily resolved, but I liked the characters too much for me to be put off by it.⤵️

“Perhaps God gave one sisters to teach one to love the inexplicable.”

I always say that historical romance isn't my favorite subgenre but apparently I love them as long as there is some madcap adventure plot because Earl Crush stole the show last quarter and joined A Shore Thing in the next round. Absolutely adored it. Rules for Ghosting is my pick for October, it was the perfect mix of introspection, romance, and paranormal.
