This Rec League was sent in from Cassidy: I’m looking for a book recommendation (recommendations if I’m being honest) for a book with a reverse grumpy x sunshine relationship. As much as I appreciate the brooding, cold, grumpy hero, I prefer romance where it’s the woman who is the grumpy or closed off one while the guy is social, pleasant to be around, funny, and an overall ball of sunshine/ a golden retriever—but books with … Continue reading The Rec League: Grumpy/Sunshine with Grumpy Heroines →
Welcome back! I’m sad to announce that the allergies have started! My partner had the bedroom windows open all day yesterday and my sinuses pretty much exploded when I got home. I empathize with everyone else in the same boat. May your tissues be soft and your Benadryl naps be pleasant. We’ve also started vacation planning for the end of the year. It’ll be really nice having something to look forward to! Do you have … Continue reading Links: Quails, Reality TV, & More →

This HaBO comes from Samantha, who is trying to find this romance: I remember the series was about a powerful/wealthy/important Scottish (?) family. In the one I read, the heroine wanders away from the house and gets lost in the woods/hills/mountains around the house, and I think she caused an earthquake after being threatened by some less than scrupulous men. The hero finds her and rescues her just in the nick of time! They may … Continue reading HaBO: She Causes an Earthquake in Scotland →

The Duke Heist by Erica Ridley is $1.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! This is book one in a new series and was mentioned on a previous Hide Your Wallet. Elyse was super excited about the heist element and I feel like the other books in the series have been talked about positively here.

I went into this book totally oblivious. I didn’t even know what genre it was. I had been drawn in by the slick cover and the vague blurb. This is 100% the way I recommend you approach this novel. If you’ve read a few of my reviews and you tend to like the books I like, I recommend stopping here. Leave this review for afterwards. For those requiring a bit more information before embarking, read … Continue reading Serial Killer Games by Kate Posey →
Welcome back to Cover Snark! Elyse: I have zero idea what the title of this book means. Also his necklace looks like a giant paper clip. Sarah: Clippy was alive…until Bax. Elyse: Whoa that’s dark. Wearing the body of Clippy. Sarah: There was help with this document…until Bax. Elyse: In his defense, Word is the worst and the fact that it continues to be the standard is baffling. Sarah: Entirely. WordPerfect or GTFO. Sneezy: Is … Continue reading Cover Snark: Lice Check →
