About a quarter of the way into When a Rogue Meets His Match, I realized the book was probably not going to be a particularly successful villain redemption or enemies-to-lovers romance. About three-quarters of the way in, I started to wonder what, exactly, the intended message of this book was, because it was verging in a startlingly uncomfortable way on emotional abuse apologia. Everything after that felt like too little, too late in terms of … Continue reading When a Rogue Meets his Match by Elizabeth Hoyt→

I thought this book was amazing. I loved the prose, the characters, the mystery, and the setting. From a craft perspective I found this book masterful, and it took me on an intense emotional journey. I think this is a literal must-read for historical mystery fans provided they do not mind some violence.
This HaBO comes from Susan, who is trying to find this romantic suspense: During my stint working at a lovely used bookstore about 2 years ago (best job ever!), a customer brought in a romantic suspense book that I wanted to set aside and borrow to read for myself before it went out onto the shelves. As happens, I set it aside in the wrong spot and somebody else shelved it and I could never … Continue reading HaBO: Secret Ops Hero Named Ghost→

The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness is $3.99! This set contains a complete, finished trilogy and it part of today’s KDDs (Harrow the Ninth is included!). This trilogy seems to be rather divisive as I’ve seen comments on the site where people have love it or couldn’t make it through the first book.

Kiss My Cupcake by Helena Hunting is $2.99! This is a standalone contemporary romance with two rival small business owners. I’d say it definitely has an opposites attract element. Have you read this one?
This edition of Lightning Reviews is a duo of books that couldn’t be more different. One is a contemporary western romance with big ol’ belt buckles and worn-in boots. The other book is filled with girl power, adventure, and a sisterly bond for the ages. Enjoy!
CW: gruesome violence, discussion of rape and slavery I DEVOURED The Blacksmith Queen, the first book in this series. I’ve read it and reread it and will probably read it again. So it was with VERY grabby hands that I reached for this sequel. I present for your edification and delight (hopefully!) 5 Steps to Loving The Princess Knight. Step 1: Get Ready for Some Violence This book is brutal in its portrayal of violence. … Continue reading The Princess Knight by G. A. Aiken→
This seems to be the year of great romances between fabulous fat women and Hollywood heartthrobs. If The Boot Fits continued the party Olivia Dade’s Spoiler Alert started for me. This second book in Weatherspoon’s Cowboys of California series returns to a luxury SoCal ranch setting, with two characters who are stuck in their Hollywood careers. Sam Pleasant is a movie star who just won an Oscar for a film he’s ambivalent about, and is … Continue reading If the Boot Fits by Rebekah Weatherspoon→
