I’m over at Dear Author with a review Her Kind of Man by Nona Raines. Probably should have started at book 1.
Page 140 of 274
Why I read it: I bought this one on the recommendation of Melissa K. It turns out our Venn diagram isn’t in total agreement.
What it’s about: (from Goodreads) What happens when:
• your brother rashly goes to Vegas and is going to marry a stranger?
• you meet a beautiful woman on your way to stop him and have thoughts of following in his footsteps?
• she happens to be the daughter of your brother’s bride?
What happens when:
• you meet the hottest man around and he’s your new uncle?
• you can’t resist him?
• he dares you to ‘Say Uncle, again?’
A taste:
“Angel, you’re so perfect,” I breathed. My eyes never left hers as she came up behind me, wrapping her arms around my waist and placed her cheek on my spine. The feelings of completion engulfed me.
“Thank you, Uncle Dean,” she said sweetly.
“Did you just say uncle?” I asked menacingly, and I felt her smile on my back. This woman was too much.
What worked for me (and what didn’t): According to my reader, the novelette is 49 pages. I made it to page 29. It wasn’t the uncle thing which bothered me – if it had, I wouldn’t have bought it. After all, it’s right there in the title. The way the technical familial relationship was structured didn’t bother me in the least. In fact, I thought it was kinda funny and it was one of the factors that had me one-clicking. Continue reading
I’m over at AudioGals with a review of The Single Undead Mom’s Club by Molly Harper, narrated by Amanda Ronconi. Not as romantic as some of the other installments but a lot of fun.
Why I read it: I was provided with a review copy via the author.
What it’s about: (from Goodreads) France and England in the age of hedonism and enlightenment
A green-eyed beauty is abandoned at the court of Versailles
The predatory Comte de Salvan plots her seduction
An all-powerful adversary snatches her to safety
But is he noble savior or a satyr most despicable?
Antonia is pursued by the lascivious Comte de Salvan who wants her as a mistress. When the libertine Duke of Roxton snatches her from Salvan’s clutches, she believes herself rescued. Has she merely swapped one seducer for another? Will Roxton save Antonia from the Comte? Can Antonia save the Duke from himself?
What worked for me (and what didn’t): I listened to Dair Devil recently. In that book, Rory and Dair row to Swan Island, on the Duke of Roxton’s estate in the country, Treat, and, among other things, admire some rather scandalous tapestries in a folly there. The tapestries tell the story of the marriage of Antonia, Duchess of Roxton and her duke. Ever since I heard the description of the tapestries, I wanted to know the beginning of the story. And so, I stalked Audible until Noble Satyr was available and shamelessly (honestly, there was no shame whatsoever involved) reminded the author of her (generous) offer of a download code.

I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Edge of Danger by Katie Reus, narrated by Sophie Eastlake. Very good romantic suspense with just the right balance of each.
I’m over at Dear Author with a review of The Perfect Gift by Serenity Woods. The rarely spotted non-asshole billionaire makes an appearance! Quick, where’s David Attenborough?
