Review: The Wicked Widow Meets her Match (Regency Rogues #6) – Stefanie Sloane

Review: The Wicked Widow Meets her Match (Regency Rogues #6) – Stefanie Sloane

*I received a free ARC of The Wicked Widow Meets her Match from Ballantine Books via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* The Wicked Widow Meets her Match is a delightful historical romance that dares to bend the gender roles, where true love is hard to believe, and a horrible band of criminals has to be fought and dismantled! Grace is a close to perfect historical romance heroine, because she is strong, resilient and intelligent. And while her life has been very hard, she has not hardened her heart in protection. Being married off to a horrible man to whom her father lost her in a card game, Grace had all possible reasons to be hard, so seeing a […]

Up close and (un)Conventional #4 – London and The Globe Experience

Up close and (un)Conventional #4 – London and The Globe Experience

Up Close and (un)Conventional #4 – London and The Globe Experience Welcome to this very short and concise Up Close and (un)Conventional. Since Tuesday morning, I’ve been in London, and I’ve seen two Shakespeare plays at the famous Globe Theatre on the South Bank. Our schedule is extremely busy, so I will write more about this awesome experience later on, but I wanted to check in and say I’m sorry I’m not around this week, and also share some first impressions. On Tuesday night, we watched a very brutal rendering of Titus Andronicus, several people in the yard in front of the stage actually fainted because it was so bloody. It was awesome, though, the smells, the sounds, the live […]

Review: Deeper We Fall (Fall and Rise #1) – Chelsea M. Cameron

Review: Deeper We Fall (Fall and Rise #1) – Chelsea M. Cameron

*I received a free ARC of Deeper We Fall from All Night Reads via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Deeper We Fall is a heart-breaking contemporary story, filled with guilt, and a very tentative path towards love. Lottie seems to think she doesn’t deserve to be happy, just because her best friend Lexie won’t ever have a chance at the kind of life they were both dreaming of two years before college. Lottie is very close to her twin-brother Will, and I enjoyed their banter and their friendship. Coming to college was supposed to be a new start for Lottie, but very soon after arriving in her dorm, she finds out that both Zack and Zan live in […]

Review: Dangerous Dream (Dangerous Creatures #0.5) – Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

Review: Dangerous Dream (Dangerous Creatures #0.5) – Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

*I received a free ARC of Dangerous Dream from Little, Brown Books for Young Readers via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Dangerous Dream is a very short story that starts with Ethan, Lena and Link’s high-school graduation. For the first couple of days of summer, the three of them, plus Ridley, Liv and John Breed hang out, until Link say the dreaded L-word to Ridley, and she huffs and puffs before taking off on her own. Because she doesn’t want to admit she even likes him, so she goes country-hopping to forget him. Ridley ends up in New York after several months of traveling, and goes to a new Caster-bar to try to live things up a little […]

Review: The Immortal Crown (Age of X #2) – Richelle Mead

Review: The Immortal Crown (Age of X #2) – Richelle Mead

*I received a free ARC of The Immortal Crown from Dutton Adult in exchange of an honest review* The Immortal Crown lets the readers know Mae a lot better, and seeing how different Gods are wooing her makes her seem more human, in a way, and more likable. Therefore, the story here is much better than Gameboard of the Gods in my opinion, and there are several reasons for this. One reason is that the world makes more sense in The Immortal Crown, and since Age of X is set in an epic fantasy world, it is easy to understand why the second book makes more sense. I also enjoyed Mae and Justin both more in The Immortal Crown than […]

Review: All Night Long (Black Halo #1) – Madelynne Ellis

Review: All Night Long (Black Halo #1) – Madelynne Ellis

*I received a free ARC of All Night Long from Harper Collins via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* All Night Long is a scorching hot read, filled with lots of sex between a hard rock star and one of his fans. There are even some scenes where some of the band-mates kind of join in the fun a little bit. There isn’t all that much going on apart from the hot sex, but that’s quite OK, as I totally got that from the summary. Ginny only wants to let loose for one night, and who better than a guy who’s in a band? He’s totally used to groupies, and won’t be looking for anything more than sex – […]
