Review: Block – J.A. Huss

Review: Block – J.A. Huss

Block has everything a contemporary romance should have, there’s some mystery, lots of hotness, a character who has a well hidden secret and a movie star who falls in love for the first time. My Block review: Well, so far, for each new book in the Social Media series, Ms. Huss has been able to up the ante and get me more and more involved with the characters. Block brings a lot more to Grace especially. It is so easy to understand both her obsession with Vaughn, and her confusion because he seems to be just as obsessed with her. Also, the things about Vaughn that bothered me a little in Follow are all forgotten now. He has shown me […]

Review: What a Lady Demands – Ashlyn MacNamara

Review: What a Lady Demands – Ashlyn MacNamara

What a Lady Demands is an amazing Historical Romance story, because Cecelia Standford is such an unconventional heroine – and that makes everything that happens even better. My What a Lady Demands review: If you are familiar with my blog, you know that I love reading Historical Romances, but that I kind of loathe reading about virgins… Kind of like an oxymoron, right? Apart from the fact that What a Lady Demands fulfilled my desires – beautiful historical romance story, with a very strong heroine, who is scandalously not a virgin. She’s twenty-three years old, and she knows her way around a male body for sure. Of course, just the fact that the heroine isn’t a virgin isn’t enough for […]

Review: The Cowboy Earns a Bride – Cora Seton

Review: The Cowboy Earns a Bride – Cora Seton

Both Mia and Luke were acting like spoiled children for a while, but when Mia found her backbone, and Luke understood that she should be his partner and not his princess, The Cowboy Earns a Bride became pretty good! My The Cowboy Earns a Bride review: I think that maybe I’ve outgrown The Cowboys of Chance Creek series, because I haven’t been as enchanted with the last two books as I was with the first ones. The Cowboy Earns a Bride felt a little formulaic to me, and I got a little fed-up with the unnecessary drama that surrounded Mia and Luke. The setting is still good, and the friends surrounding the main couple should have made me feel happy […]

Review: Tall, Dark and Royal – Vanessa Kelly

Review: Tall, Dark and Royal – Vanessa Kelly

Tall, Dark and Royal has mystery, chemistry and a very strong female character to make things interesting. My Tall, Dark and Royal review: Chloe and Dominic aren’t your usual HR characters, both because Chloe has pretended to be dead for a long time, and because they’re both older than the part of the ton who is out to get married and start a family. This certainly made Tall, Dark and Royal a very interesting read. Chloe is a very strong-minded woman, she has been on her own since she was fifteen, after her illegitimate son was taken from her, and she found work with an older woman. Helping other young women who found themselves pregnant but not married became Chloe’s […]

Review: Play Me: Wild – Tracy Wolff

Review: Play Me: Wild – Tracy Wolff

Play me Wild is the first installment in a hot serial about Cole and Aria, and I really enjoyed how Aria was willing to stand up for what was right, even at the cost of her job! My Play Me Wild review: Aria was trying everything she could to stay in control of her life, and it was easy to see that something has happened to her in the past to make her crave solitude and control right now. When a customer at the casino where she works starts to harass a customer, and neither the security guard, nor the dealer are willing to help, Aria steps up. And ends up losing her job. Play Me Wild showed me right […]

The Sunday Post #5 – ‘Reading’ Week

The Sunday Post #5 – ‘Reading’ Week

The Sunday Post #5 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. Life in general: This past week, I didn’t have any classes, it’s called the ‘reading’ week, kind of to help us read some of the things we haven’t had time to keep on top of during the semester so far. And I had planned on finishing the book I have on Semantics, as well as reading the rest of The Faerie Queene so I’d be all ready for next week. I also wanted to read an article on verb-movement in Faroese, because I have to hand in a paper on […]
