Two of my greatest loves are the revenge drama and the happily ever after. As anyone familiar with the former will know, it's pretty rare to find it paired with the latter. But in Romancelandia, anything can happen and happily ever afters? They're a guarantee. And when it's Mimi Matthews doing the pairing? You can … Continue reading Gentleman Jim by Mimi Matthews

Reading Roundup #97: A Book With Good Bones
I fully expected to have a bigger roundup for you this week, but I hit a string of disappointing books, and I'm really not in the mood to talk about anything I dislike right now! Especially when there were two excellent books I did get to read in between (and to be fair, the others … Continue reading Reading Roundup #97: A Book With Good Bones
The Work of Art by Mimi Matthews
It's been a while since I last sat down to write a full book review, and it's no surprise that a Mimi Matthews novel is the inspiration. When you need a historical romance with depth and drama, Matthews always delivers. In The Work of Art, I've found another favorite — is it possible for all … Continue reading The Work of Art by Mimi Matthews
Reading Roundup #95: Friday Reads
Happy Friday! It's time to escape the shackles off the office and enjoy a weekend of luxurious reading! But before I can do that, I need to share what I've been reading this week — one of my more eclectic roundups, with Western adventure, Victorian murder mystery, witchy romance, and more. I think the only … Continue reading Reading Roundup #95: Friday Reads
Reading Roundup #94: What is Right vs. What is Easy
The roundup is coming in late this week because there was one more book I really wanted to include this week but hadn't finished yet! After slowing down my reading in February, I'm finally getting back into my usual groove, and these engrossing books helped a lot with that. At first glance, these are all … Continue reading Reading Roundup #94: What is Right vs. What is Easy
Reading Roundup #90: New Year, New (to Me) Stories
Happy belated new year! I didn't have anything to post in a roundup last week because I was too busy to read for a while — and because I'd just embarked on three loooong books. Which I still haven't finished (and likely won't for a few weeks, if not months). But I did manage to … Continue reading Reading Roundup #90: New Year, New (to Me) Stories
Reading Roundup #88: Inner Voices
I don't know about you, but the few months of the year always fly by for me. I'll put something off for a couple days and look up to realize weeks have now passed! But I'm back now and happy to share some more great books. On the surface, they all look wildly different, but … Continue reading Reading Roundup #88: Inner Voices
Reading Roundup #84: The Perfect Reading Weather
A cold front came in over the weekend, and I'm relishing the opportunity to layer up and hunker down with a good book in the evening. And this round of books is great for the coming winter, with plenty of smoke and mirrors going on... sometimes more humorously and sometimes quite seriously. First up is … Continue reading Reading Roundup #84: The Perfect Reading Weather
Reading Roundup #83: The Daughters of Time
I know what you're thinking — only two books today! I'm amazed at myself, too. I've been reading a few other things but just haven't been able to finish them yet. However, the two books I did complete were more than satisfying. One is historical fiction while the other is a story about history (you'll see … Continue reading Reading Roundup #83: The Daughters of Time
The Belle of Belgrave Square by Mimi Matthews
Ever since the The Siren of Sussex released earlier this year, I've been counting the days till I could read the next installment in the Belles of London series. As always, Mimi Matthews doesn't disappoint with this stirring homage to literature of the past — and readers throughout the centuries. The notorious Captain Blunt has … Continue reading The Belle of Belgrave Square by Mimi Matthews
