All Scot and Bothered Review

All Scot and Bothered (Devil You Know #2)By Kerrigan ByrneOriginally September 29th, 2020Dual POV, Third Person

,THIS IS THE SECOND IN A SERIES, TO SEE MY REVIEW OF BOOK ONE CLICK HERE!

Full of mystery and intense chemistry between the two MCs, All Scot and Bothered felt a little all over the place, yet it came together in all the right ways in the end.

Lord Chief Justice of the High Court Cassius Gerard Ramsay--a title and name that reflects the hulking Scot perfectly. He's got issues and al...

How To Love A Duke In Ten Days Review

How To Love A Duke In Ten Days (Devil You Know #1)By Kerrigan ByrneOriginally Published August 27th, 2019Dual POV, Third Person

I will never get over the dramatic covers that mass-market Historical Romance books have. How do I get invited to one of these photoshoots, not to be in it, I just want to watch the show!

Anyways, How To Love A Duke In Ten Days was a surprisingly dark, exciting, and original Historical Romance that might just push Kerrigan Byrne to my top HR authors.

When an opport...

A Rogue of One's Own Review

A Rogue of One's Own (The League of Extraordinary Women #2)By Evie DunmoreOriginally Published September 1st, 2020Dual POV, Third Person

,THIS IS THE SECOND IN A SERIES, TO SEE MY REVIEW OF BOOK ONE CLICK HERE!

Usually when I love the first book in a series as much as I did with Bringing Down the Duke, I have to force myself to read the rest with low expectations or else I may be easily disappointed. Not. So. With. This. Beautiful. Book!

We meet the intense and driven Lucy in Bringing Down t...

Bringing Down the Duke Review

Bringing Down the Duke (The League of Extraordinary Women #1)By Evie DunmoreOriginally Published September 3rd, 2019Dual POV, Third Person

Really offbeat story, but I recently restarted my Book of the Month membership for the singular purpose of purchasing a copy of The Secret History. That is one of my all time favorite books, and I want every different edition I can get my hands on. While I was scrolling through other selections BOTM had to add to my box, I read the synopsis for Bringing Dow...

Private Property Review

Private Property (Rochester Trilogy #1)By Skye WarrenOriginally Published March 5th, 2021Single POV, First Person

I say it every time I review one of her books or write a blog post about the Dark Romance genre, but Skye Warren remains my favorite Dark Romance author. I say that knowing full well I don't love every one of her books, but her writing always draws me in and envelopes me in a kind of velvet darkness only her style of writing has ever accomplished. Private Property is a modern retel...

The Changeling Saga Updates

I can't believe I forgot to post about this. I did on my Instagram, but I guess I should admit I suck at keeping up with this blog.

Anyway, if you are on Instagram, possibly bookstagram, you might know that some bloody amazing small shops make candles based on books. I've been bookish candle-obsessed for years now and now I can swoon over the fact that one of my all-time favorite candle makers has designed a candle based on my book!

Look how gorgeous it is! Look at Serkhele and his shadows—and N...

The Prisoner of Azkaban Review

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter #3)By J.K. RowlingOriginally Published June 26th, 1997Single POV, Third Person

,THIS IS THE THIRD IN A SERIES, CLICK HERE TO SEE MY REVIEW OF BOOK TWO!

PLEASE READ:

A friend of mine is doing a Harry Potter reread and I said I would join her. Harry Potter holds a very near and dear place in my heart due to the escapism I was able to achieve as a kid growing up in a not so happy childhood. I absolutely hate what Rowling has become, a beac...
