This Rec League comes from Rachel: Hi! I’m looking for books with female innkeepers. I love the Innkeeper series by Ilona Andrews. I particularly enjoy how those books center around the guests. Romance can be the main plot point or a lesser part. Thank you! Sarah: Born in Ice by Nora Roberts. It’s the second in a trilogy so the full story of the sisters’ lives begin in Born in Fire. But I love Born in … Continue reading The Rec League: Innkeepers
RECOMMENDED: A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas is $2.99! Both Sarah and Carrie read this book and enjoyed it.
Sarah gave it a B+: I haven’t shut up about this book since I finished it. My outbound text messages are mostly hollering, squeeing, and long strings of vowels about this book.
I’m so excited this book exists. I’m so excited that I got to read it. I’m so excited there will be more.
Carrie gave it B: I can’t WAIT to find out what Charlotte, Livia, and Mrs. Watson are up to. I hope it involves them being protective of each other, empowering, and smart. The excitement is palpable!
Welcome back! We are halfway through April! My 33rd birthday was Monday (love me some April babies)! I had a wonderful day with a celebration that felt tailor-made. Yummy food, delicious cake, thoughtful texts and phone calls and gifts. Any fellow April babes in the comments today? Thank you all for the allergy tips, by the way! The sneezing hasn’t started just yet, but I have a few new things to try to combat the … Continue reading Links: Fabrics, Alyssa Cole, & More
This HaBO request is from L., who is looking for a particular historical romance: This was the first Regency romance I’d ever read and one of the first romances I read as well. It’s been living in my head rent free ever since. I don’t know the title or author. The things I remember clearly about it are the hero is super into fly fishing and is the heroine’s neighbor, though they haven’t met before … Continue reading HaBO: She Makes Fly Fishing Lures
Proper Scoundrels by Allie Therin is $1.99! This is a spin-off of Therin’s Magic in Manhattan series. For those familiar with the books, are these characters from the original series or new characters in a similar world?
This HaBO comes from Brenna, who is looking for this older historical: It’s a historical Romance book from the late 80s or very early 90s. The main character was a street kid in London. She was proud of being a virgin, while many of the other street girls were not. She somehow became indebted to a man who seemed really gruff and mean, but of course had a heart of gold. She moved in with … Continue reading HaBO: She Starts Life as a London Street Kid
Desiring Lady Caro by Ella Quinn is $1.99! This is a historical romance with a Venetian setting. Reviews on Goodreads say this is a pretty fast-paced romance and that there’s a road trip element! Though trigger warning because it seems part of the heroine’s backstory includes rape.
Season Two of Bridgerton is here and we have thoughts!

RECOMMENDED: The Wallflower Wager by Tessa Dare is $1.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! There was some debate on how the heroine’s trauma was handled in this one (feel free to check Goodreads and the comments of Carrie’s review). It earned an A- grade:
It’s fun, it has pathos, there are clothes both hilariously awful and droolingly lovely, it contains found family, and it has plentiful humor. A keeper, for sure.
