“A fun romance with a geeky heroine!”

I have been intrigued by Minerva Highwood ever since I read A Night to Surrender, the first book in the Spindle Cove series.  Of course, we were given a small glimpse of Minerva’s romance and the rogue Colin Sandhurst, Lord Payne.  This book has also been recommended by quite a few romance bloggers (I’m looking at…

Wild by Sophie Jordan | Book Review

Warning: This review may contain spoilers

Wild by Sophie Jordan is the third book in The Ivy Chronicles series. This is the first book in the series that I read and can be read as a stand-alone. Characters from the previous two books pop in and out all throughout the book but they do not add to any confusion if you haven’t read the other books.

I initially read this book because I was interested…

To Tame a Highland Earl by Tarah Scott | Book Review

Warning: This review may contain spoilers

To Tame A Highland Earl is the first book in the new series A MacLean Highlander Novel by Tarah Scott. This is the first book that I have read written by Miss Scott and I was blown away!

Scarlet is the second book in the Lunar Chronicles series and it is my favorite (I’ve also read Cress) so far!  I absolutely love this retelling of Little Red Riding Hood!  Ms. Meyer has a way of merging both stories – Cinder(retelling of Cinderella)  and Scarlet.  It is seamlessly done and very well…

I’ve heard about Shadow and Bone a while back but was mildly interested.  I had begun reading more YA books by then via audiobooks and I enjoy that format when “reading” YA books.  The Boss, who works out of state, decided that he wanted to read more books on his downtown and asked for recommendations.  I honestly shove more YA recommendations his way…

I really enjoyed Finding Miss McFarland so much!  The third book in Vivienne Lorret’s Wallflower Wedding series, Finding Miss McFarland is an awesome read.
