Amanda has discovered some hidden gems during her first year of home ownership.
This Rec League is from Clare. Thanks, Clare! So I’m reading another shifter fated mates book and the heroine is all up in arms again that fate is dictating to her. Are there any books with dated mates where a protagonist is just like, oh thank goodness I don’t have to think or wonder or stress, this is just my person and now I don’t have to date anymore? Like, as a person with anxiety, … Continue reading The Rec League: Happy to Be Fated & Mated
Hey all! It’s time for Wednesday Links! I have breaking news and that all of the new MMORPGs I was excited for have been derailed by picking up Final Fantasy XIV again. Oops! Don’t you hate it when that happens? My audiobook hold for Perils of Pleasure just came in at the library. Did you know I’ve never read Julie Anne Long before? I inhaled the Maiden Lane series by Elizabeth Hoyt on audio a few years ago and … Continue reading Links: Book Tours, Non-Fiction, & More
The View Was Exhausting by Mikaella Clements and Onjuli Datta $2.99! I mentioned this one on a previous Get Rec’d for hardcover romance readers, though now it’s out in paperback. Lots of tropes here – fake dating, celebrities, and friends to lovers
This book drove me crackers but I still read the whole thing in a couple days. While it was as compelling as Matthews’ usual work, it brought me none of the joy. The reason for this is the role a character from a previous book played in this book. But first, let’s focus on this book on its own merits. Ivo Beresford is a young man with his eye on the future. He wants to … Continue reading Appointment in Bath by Mimi Matthews
RECOMMENDED: A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan is $2.99! This is the first book in the Lady Trent series, which Carrie really loves. Readers say the book is pretty awesome in terms of concept, but they surprisingly wanted more dragons. Have you read this book or series?
This HaBO comes from Jessica, who is looking for this romance: I’m looking for a romance where the heroine hacks into the hero’s company just because she can and he’s looking for who did it. I’m pretty sure they end up working together and she hacks into his smart home just to mess with him. She specifically programmed it to have her voice and watched him freak out. I remember he gave her a nickname … Continue reading HaBO: She Hacks into His Company
How to Survive a Scandal by Samara Parish is $2.99! This is book one in the Rebels with a Cause historical romance series. It sounds like the hero saves the heroine and the two wind up in a compromising position. Of course, the only way to fix these things is through a marriage of convenience.
Crystal Anne with An E comes to us from a sunny clime, but prefers to remain a pale indoor cat. She enjoys reading, cross-stitching something nerdy, going to see live music, and playing video games. She works as an autism consultant by day, got a degree in information science for fun, and currently serves on her local library advisory board. You can read Part I of Adventures of a Middle-Aged Gamer here. … Hello, kids. … Continue reading Adventures of a Middle-Aged Gamer, Part 2: Now With a PS5
