Gird your loins, my friends, and SUSPEND YOUR DISBELIEF!

Gird your loins, my friends, and SUSPEND YOUR DISBELIEF! 

 Yeah, I said I was going to bed, but there's one thing I wanted to bring up.

I don't take points away if books aren't historically accurate. I'm not reading romance novels to learn everything about an era--there are nonfiction books for that. These are fantasy. I mean, 99% of this stuff is too fantastic to ever touch any sort of reality. Folks go from just meeting to married in a week. Dukes marry peasants and shop girls. Your first time isn't awkward and painful. Everyone has an orgasm or two or three. 😂 Hell, in some, there are dragons and vampires and Berserkers and who knows what. This ain't a history book.

 Just sit back and enjoy the story and don't worry about accuracy. We weren't there, so there's no way we will get it right. Let's just have FUN and fall in love. 💕

Bowen's Devils of Dover Series (A Duke in the Night: Book 1)

Devils of Dover (Book One: A Duke in the Night) Kelly Bowen Stars:  Definitely ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (smart heroine; hot hero; we get out of London—hello Dover; self-made man; lots of waltzing) Heat rating:    🔥🔥🔥 🔥 (see the SEX-AND-SPOILERS section.) So, Kelly Bowen came early in my romance novel journey. Note, I first borrowed it from the library, finished it in 3 days, returned it, then purchased my own copy. That’s a hint right there that it’s a damned good book. I didn’t even borrow the other two in the series—went straight to the store and purchased them. So the Devils of Dover series is about the Hayward family, with the first book being about the eldest child, Clara Hayward, and August Faulkner, Duke of Holloway. First things first. The guy on the cover is hot as sin and matched Kelly Bowen’s description. That’s definitely a plus. I have decided to start adding a Cover Rating (though I do know that some editions have different covers). This cover gets an A- : the g...

MacLean's Rules of Scoundrels Series (A Rogue by Any Other Name: Book 1)

Rules of Scoundrels (Book One: A Rogue by Any Other Name) Sarah MacLean Stars:  Definitely ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ½ (gaming hell; feisty heroine; hot hero; kidnapping; awesome characters—Pippa is a jewel) Heat rating:    🔥🔥🔥 ½   (see the SEX-AND-SPOILERS section.) So, I must admit something. Sarah MacLean may be one of my top 5 favorite historical romance authors. I found her in March of this year, and immediately purchased all of her books. I love all her series. Important note: the Rules of Scoundrels series is closely tied to an earlier series, Love by Numbers. I did not read the series in order, though I kind of wish I had. You’ll hear familiar names and places throughout her books. So I suggest you read them in order, but this series is my favorite, though I adore them ALL (also, do not miss her Bareknuckle Bastards series)! I also love all gaming hell/sex club stories, even more than my beloved spy tales! COVER RATING : this one gets an B, merely because I would ...

Craig’s Love and Let Spy (Better Off Wed: Book Three)

Better Off Wed (Love and Let Spy, Book Three) Susanna Craig Stars:  Excellent ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (mystery, intrigue, great characters, witty dialogue, chess, General Scott is always the GOAT, dashing hero, heroine who is strong and smart) Heat rating:      🔥🔥🔥 (see the SEX-AND-SPOILERS section.) I received an advance reader copy (ARC) of this book from NetGalley; this did not influence my review in any way. You know me, Constant Reader. I’m gonna say what I’m gonna say. But here’s a hint: after reading the ARC, I went right to Amazon to purchase my own copy to keep. I love Susanna Craig. I’ve read nearly all her books (I missed two and didn’t realize! I own them; I just haven’t had a minute to read them yet. Well, I shall be rectifying that wrong ASAP!). One of the things I like best about SC is that she puts content warnings on her website. I appreciate how these help; as you know, Constant Reader, I recently lost my mother, so parent loss definitely affec...
