Romance and Urban Fantasy Book Reviews
I finished this book and immediately started searching out the author’s backlist. I am shocked–shocked, I say!–to find that this is a debut author. It had a few bumps in the beginning, but the overall quality to the writing had a richness of emotion and smoothness to it that I do not often find with [...]
Rogues is the third book in the Brook Street series by Ava March. I was going to say it’s a friends to-lovers-story, but Linus and Rob have actually been occasional lovers since they were teens. They have enjoyed more of a friends with benefits relationship over their many years of friendship. Linus has always preferred [...]

Then Fieldstone cleared his throat and started forward with a smart bow. “Mrs. Benning, I’m please to see [...]

Flat broke, he is one of “those” Parkers; disgraced after the father gambled his fortune away and then moved his family to the continent. Now, [...]
This book took forever to read. I didn’t dislike it but I didn’t precisely like it, either. I thought it was perfectly pleasant (until it got silly at the end) but I felt distant from it. I picked up the book expecting something more than I was given. I read on the back cover that [...]
Today Amy and I (Catherine) are talking about The Duke’s Perfect Wife. We both are such big fans of this series that we couldn’t resist doing a joint review for you guys. This is a conversational review, so we might reveal more than a regular review would, but spoilers will be kept to a minimum. [...]
There were women Colin counted as friends, and then there were women he bedded. Anytime he’d allowed the two groups to overlap, it meant trouble.
