The Lady Has A Past by Amanda Quick

Unfortunately, while I thoroughly enjoyed this story while I was reading it, I found myself increasingly troubled by certain aspects of the narrative once I began to reflect on the story in order to write this review. The story begins when apprentice PI and former socialite Lyra … Continue reading The Lady Has A Past by Amanda Quick

Thanks to Jen B. for submitting this interesting take on rereading: This is very random, but I thought of a topic for the SBTB editors to bat around: I know you’ve done comfort reads and favorite re-reads, but does anyone have a book that you read at such a perfect time in your life that you won’t re-read it, because it will never be as good? I had just moved to a new state, the … Continue reading Which Books Gave You the Perfect One-Off Reading Experience?

It’s a beefy one and does feature a terrible earl: I’ve been trying to find this book for absolutely ages, and I’m hoping that someone might be able to find it based on this description. It’s absolutely killing me that I remember so much of the plot of this book, but I can’t remember anything about the title, author, or character names. I’m pretty sure I read it in the … Continue reading HaBO: An Affair with the Earl’s Great-Nephew
