This is the second in the author’s Custard Protocol series, following up on last year’s Prudence. This time, in addition to the usual silliness I adore, we also get some bittersweet moments as Prudence Alessandra Maccon Akeldama – or Rue to her friends – faces serious issues with her birth parents. If you haven’t read…
Narrated by Saskia Maarleveld I was so pleased when I saw that The Rogue was coming out in audio format. I read and loved the book earlier this year; it’s a beautifully written, sensual and tender romance combined with a dash of mystery and boasts one of the most wonderful romantic heroes I’ve read in…
Sinner’s Revenge is the second book in Kim Jones’s Sinner’s Creed series about a motorcycle club named… you guessed it, Sinner’s Creed. While I don’t think it’s necessary to read Sinner’s Creed to enjoy Sinner’s Revenge, I did wonder if better insight into Dirk and Shady’s relationship would have allowed me to appreciate Shady’s actions…
Here, dear readers, is a short list of things you would be better off reading instead of Wagon Train Sisters: The back of a Mr. Bubble label. An outdated encyclopedia, cover to cover. A Bazooka Joe comic. And, last but not least, the pull tag on a pillow. The novel starts promisingly enough. Sarah Gregg…
To Have and to Hold is the third story in Serena Bell’s Returning Home series, a selection of emotional romances that aptly describe some of the difficulties wounded soldiers encounter when finishing their tours of duty and reuniting with their loved ones. And this particular story is based on a situation that one would hope never…
Narrated by Karen White Natalie Castellano is a young divorced mother in Bliss, a Midwest town devoted to marriage and happy-ever-afters. Her family runs a bridal boutique on The Aisle (aka Main Street), but the untimely death of her mother left the family and the boutique floundering. Natalie is determined to bring it back to…
The Virgin and the Viscount is the second book in the Bachelor Lords of London Series, and although I haven’t read the first book, this works perfectly well as a standalone. Ms Michaels is a new-to-me author and while the premise of this story – a man trying to rebuild his family’s shattered reputation falls…
His Royal Secret could have been so cheesy; maudlin, sentimental and coarsely gossipy, like the gutter press depicted so unflatteringly within its pages. Yet, somehow, Lilah Pace—a new author to me—manages to give us a romantic story that looks hard at two young men who fall in love under remarkable circumstances, and unravels their hearts…
Narrated by Mary Jane Wells I’m going to confess upfront that the only reason I chose to listen to this second book in Cathy Maxwell’s Marrying the Duke series, The Fairest of Them All, is because Mary Jane Wells is the narrator. I was singularly underwhelmed by the first book, The Match of the Century,…
Few stories can possibly be as timely as this one. Broken Ground shows us President Herbert Hoover’s Repatriation Act put into action, a law which involved the forced deportation of Mexican migrant workers. It’s a frightening look at the effect government policies can have on real people and how even with the best intentions we…
