HaBO: Possible Series About the Children of a Pirate

This HaBO comes from Aizee, who is looking for this historical romance series: The hero and heroine were both part of a pirate “family” (I want to say in the Caribbean) where the head pirate was the father of the heroine. Heroine is beautiful, headstrong, blah, blah, blah and much younger than the hero, who looked after her because he had had a crush on her mother (head pirate’s wife) who died young (in childbirth? … Continue reading HaBO: Possible Series About the Children of a Pirate

Lightning Review

A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske

A Marvellous Light

A Marvellous Light is a slow-paced, M/M fantasy romance set in the Edwardian Age, and is the first of a trilogy.

A great deal of the charm and fun of the book is the opposites-attract format of both the world-building (magic meets bureaucracy) and the main characters, Robin and … Continue reading A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske
