Diary of a Middle-Aged Romantic

A Problem Princess (The Lords of the Armory, book 6) Anna Harrington Stars:              ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ -1/2 Heat rating:    🔥🔥🔥 and delightful!   SPOILER-FREE NETGALLEY REVIEW* So, Anna Harrington has done it again. If you’re looking for adventure and mystery, some intrigue, some spicy and steamy, plus characters you’ll really like, look no further. I’ve been following Clayton since the first book in the Lords of the Armory series ( An Inconvenient Duke ). He’s actually one of my very favorite characters and I’ve waited to learn more about him. All we know to this point is he is an undersecretary for the Home Office, one of Marcus‘s soldiers, and always there to put things right. He is beyond reproach and, frankly, gorgeous 🔥 but we never hear anything about him going from bed to bed or causing any sort of ruckus that’s not for King & Country. So of course, I was really happy to hear that he was finally gettin...

The Countess (Scandalous Ladies of London) Sophie Jordan  SPOILER-FREE NetGalley Review Stars:              ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐ Heat rating:    🔥🔥🔥-1/2  So, Sophie Jordan has done it again, but are you surprised ? Her books are always five star reads and I wish I could give this one an even higher rating. Okay, so what makes me so excited about this book? You will absolutely love the characters. How can you not love a man named Jasper Thorne? I mean, really (swoon . . . With that name, you know he’s hot as fire). 💖 And our heroine is one of my absolute favorites, for several reasons, but the number one is she’s not a 20-year old virgin debutante. I love historical romance, that’s basically all I read. And that means that 99% of the time the woman is right out of the schoolroom. I mean, even books where the heroine is a spinster means she’s 24. Not our Tru, who is 37. She’s been married for most of her life and her...

Their Marchioness Jess Michaels Spoiler-Free NetGalley Review Stars:              ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ¼ Heat rating:    🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 + So, I’m seeing a lot of “this isn’t like the usual Jess Michaels books” and it’s not. And that’s FINE. We still have her wonderful, engaging writing, but with the MMF twist 💞💞💞.  I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I encourage you to TRY reading this before you discount it. The novella is good and you’re going to love the characters. And Jess’s writing is always engaging. Plus, as always, she gives you characters that you’ll like and want to know more about. I am relatively new to romance, I’ve just been reading for a few years, but early on, I wandered upon some MMF books via Kate Pearce and Samantha Kane . These books ended up being favorites. So I was delighted to hear that Jess was moving into that genre for this series. I am a boring 50 year old woman who proba...
