Review: Devil in Spring

Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oh my goodness I never thought I'd love anyone like Sebastian and Evie, but Gabriel and Pandora come in a close second. Gabriel is just everything you expect him to be, someone that has all the charm and roguish from his father but mixed with the kindness of Evie. Gabriel is his father's son, in the way he cares and takes care of Pandora. I love Pandora's spirit of being her own woman but also reshifting her priorities and love when needed.
And old fox Sebastian and silver goddess Evie are to DIE for.
I can't wait for Phoebe's book

Review: Mr. Hunt, I Presume

Mr. Hunt, I Presume by Valerie Bowman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

What a wonderful novella of a love once lost and now back again. Once childhood sweethearts separated by fate and position, Collin and Erienne meet again in a second-chance love story.
I loved both characters, their backgrounds and reasons for what had transpired a decade ago. A heartwarming novella about how love can be found again when the heart is in the right place!

Review: Cold-Hearted Rake

Cold-Hearted Rake by Lisa Kleypas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

what a delightful beginning of a new series and a new family to love. The Ravenels are simply endearing: from the rakes in ways of reforming, to Helen's kindness to the twins uniqueness, I foresee nothing but great love for this series.
I loved both Devon and Kathleen's raw interactions, and the way they didn't shy away from anything they wanted to discuss or live and how they came together...
I can't wait for Rhys and Helen

Review: The Governess

The Governess by Christi Caldwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

And she does it again! I've read several of Christi's books and I have the say, the latest is always the better.
In this one, she treats us with the story of Broderick Killoran - a long rival of the house and so called villain from other books - and his assistant and confidant, Regina Sparks.
For year. Broderick Killoran has built his gaming hell empire in order to lift himself from his family shame and now. he's facing the consequences of everything he did to survive. Regina Sparks carries secrets of her own and she's finally to let go of the family that gave her shelter and pursue her own dreams. But Broderick is not ready to let her go, even if he cannot admit to himself the true reason why. Secrets are revealed and old enemies come back to haunt them but through it all, love prevails.
There is so much I love about the Wicked Wallflowers: I love how the author shies away from the ton and continues to explore the life and love of the people of the Seven Dials, of those haunted souls with tragic pasts that have built themselves from nothing and continue to survive and dare to want more and be more. It's raw, it's real and it's incredibly awesome.
While this book can be read as a standalone... there are bits and pieces that come from the other books that might be good for the reader to know. Also, why would you? Go read the other ones!!!
I was curious to see how she'd present Killoran now that we finally got his book. And I wasn't disappointed: much like his former enemy and rival turned into extended family, Ryker Black, there are lawyers and nooks to Broderick that made you understand his point of view and even root for him. But the author is not forgiving of him, or of all the wrongs that he might have committed... we simply learn the hows and whys of everything that went through.
I don't want to give the plot or much of the book, so I would say that this is a great written, fast.paced book with great characterizations, an interesting conflict, a beautiful happy ending and the thrilling of knowing that there's more to come in the next book!
*I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

Review: The Duke of Shadows

The Duke of Shadows by Meredith Duran
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 leaning into 4 stars. It's an amazing novel debut and I really liked the characters and the setting... however I feel the story dragged in a few parts with too much description and the resolution seemed rushed. I would have preferred the author to spend more time into the conclusion of the book instead of the setting in India. I felt Julian and Emmaline's coming to terms with what happened and years of feelings should have taken more time than it did.... but I look forward to read the rest of the series!

Amazing book! Both Constance and Julian are two wonderful souls with lots of hidden secrets and wicked thoughts! I thoroughly enjoyed their candid relationship and their honest moments in which they both finally admitted their thoughts and feelings towards each other.
10/10 rec!

Review: Going Down Easy

Going Down Easy by Erin Nicholas
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

Yea, Nope for me. There's precocious kids, and then there is unrealistic writing.
