The beginning of the book started with an embassy meeting where all the US commanders were arguing about a pending alien invasion. Then the alien main character crashes the meeting. The alien forces the humans to swear their allegiance or something … Continue reading HaBO: Alien Invasion Romance

Spotless by Camilla Monk is $2.99 at Amazon! This one has been mentioned in the comments of at least two Rec Leagues: More Action Adventure Romance and He’s Always Loved Her. It’s also had a cover redesign. I like the art style, but also feel like it makes the characters look pretty young.

The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies by Alison Goodman
I started this book expecting the usual historical mystery fare just with older leads (42!), but no. From the start, it was clear that this novel was something different entirely. I’m going to try to keep my superlatives under control, but just know that I made Good Book Noise from page 1! This novel is divided into three parts, and each part focuses on a different adventurous rescue mission. One overarching plot ties the three … Continue reading The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies by Alison Goodman

Book Review
Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld
I really loved Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld. Celebrity romance is one of my favorite tropes, and for me this book stands out. Romantic Comedy features a hero who is not purely defined by celebrity status, gives readers a deep dive into a world I found fascinating, contains an epistolary courtship, and at times is laugh-out-loud funny. Sally Milz is a writer for a weekly late-night sketch comedy show called TNO that is based on … Continue reading Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld
