History, secrets, family, redemption, and love.

This book has a little bit of all these things, plus a enthusiastic, bookish, dirty talking professor and an “unlikeable” heroine.

My father says that trying to stop hate is like trying to stop the tides,” Rashid said. “The best thing you can do is take advantage of it. Don‘t stop the tide from flowing. Build a hydroelectric dam and make electricity instead, enough to power ten thousand houses. That‘s how you stop hate.

Unabashedly feminist and completely sexy slowish burn. Erica Ridley‘s Wild Wynchester‘s series just keeps getting better.

I laughed out loud enough that I‘m sure the drivers in the cars next to me must have thought I had an issue at stop lights. Loretta Chase does such a great job of creating strong, funny, women that are supposedly unlikeable, but that I‘d enjoy having in my circle of friends.

If Goldielocks was a reader in search of the “just right” contemporary romance I would hand her this book.

This book is everything you want when a series concludes. Highly recommended! #netgalley #arc

I really appreciated the way Tessa Bailey wrapped up this series. If you enjoyed the first two books in the series you‘ll enjoy this one as well. #netgalley #arc

“She‘d been beautiful then. She was beautiful now. And she‘d be beautiful sixty years from now.”

Enemies to loves, a dash of forced proximity, and a cinnamon roll-alpha hybrid.
Yes, please & thank you!

Sigh... Lisa Kleypas is just so good!

I married a damn cereal kill.

Oh how I love a slow burn!

Reminded me of Bet Me, so of course I enjoyed.
Bonus points for the Chris Evans reference.

For me, becoming isn‘t about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn‘t end.

7:40 hours to go. It‘s as #bananapants as I anticipated

I‘m reading an ARC I picked up at BEA, since it‘s not final no quotes or blind from me. But so far, so good with my first Christina Lauren title.

Just a librarian lunching, wishing for food from the #KoBra and the next #LadySherlock.

I fell into the Lady Sherlock series by pure coincidence, but I absolutely adore it. It has just enough mystery and red herrings for those that aren‘t big mystery readers, like myself.

Published in 2004 and it still hold up.
It‘s the banter and the pace. Jennifer Cruise writes a full story where the romance is real and it‘s not about the sex. Plus there‘s the food.

I knew this was going to break my heart just a bit, but it was worth it. I stalled for a whole day because I didn‘t want it to end so soon.

This series is so well put together. The women are strong, fully aware of the limitations set for women within their era, yet still find ways to gain their own agency.
Perfect for non-mystery readers looking to try something different.

Marian was a trailblazer and a leader in her field...

Broke my heart in places, but well worth it.

The meet cute alone is worth it.

I just wanted to gather Rose (rows) up in a hug and say everything is going to be okay as long have Uncle Weldon to see (sea) you through in life. although that would make stress her out and make her recite a few prime numbers.
