People with Jobs: A Romance Round-Up

What what? What’s that you say? I READ SOME BOOKS? Yes, wow, we are all correctly very impressed by this news. I read some books! In this economy! As two hurricanes barrel down on me at one and the same time! Wow! (I also read Not the Girl You Marry and definitely want to read more by Andie Christopher, but I did not immediately write down my thoughts on it and now I remember nothing about it.) Bringing Down the Duke, Evie Dunmore Annabelle Archer can stay at Oxford under a few, conflicting conditions. To be permitted to study outside…

Review: He’s Come Undone, Emma Barry, Olivia Dade, Adriana Herrera, Ruby Lang, and Cat Sebastian

Every romance reader has a handful of gateway drug romance novels. When a non-romance reader asks me for recs, I’ve got a few in my back pocket that I think are pretty friendly to newbies. Very high on that list is Cecilia Grant’s novella A Christmas Gone Perfectly Wrong, which is about a very buttoned-up gentleman that just wants to buy a falcon, and a woman who wants to go to a house party. It has many good things about it — if you haven’t read it, I recommend buying it and reading it immediately! — but one of my…

I Really Need to Read The Price of Salt Already: A Links Round-Up

Hello, it is Friday, and I am pleased to report that I have (mostly) emerged from the weeds of a time so busy that I thought I was going to have to rip my hair out. I did not rip my hair out! Hurrah! As the prospect of a slightly quieter time loomed before me, I very cleverly took on a large new project. Ha ha I don’t know why I’m like this. Please send help, I can’t disentangle my feelings of self-worth from productivity. ANYWAY HERE ARE SOME LINKS, and I’m sorry we all have to live in late-stage…

Did I have the purest of intentions to read spooky books in honor of spooky season? YOU BETCHA. Did I end up just reading a shit-ton of romance novels in the month of October instead? INDEED I DID. I can always read spooky stuff in November, right? Here are the romances I’ve been putting in my brain, friends. How to Catch a Wicked Viscount, Amy Rose Bennett After an indiscretion at school that leaves Sophie and her three best friends with a reputation for scandal, she never expects to be accepted back into polite society. But when Charlotte discovers Sophie…

Spies, Football, and Food Trucks: A Romance Round-Up

Cat Sebastian has become one of my go-to romance authors for just consistently tender romance content. (My favorite and most tenderest is The Ruin of a Rake, but they’re all terrific.) Her latest, Hither Page, is set between the wars in England and features a shell-shocked doctor who has retreated to a small English town to escape his memories of the war. Meanwhile the titular Leo Page has been sent to the small English town to investigate a suspicious murder and discover whether there’s any Spy Stuff afoot. Although I don’t tend to like romances that follow a single couple…
