Review: The Raven Prince (Princes #1) by Elizabeth Hoyt

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: The Raven Prince (Princes #1) by Elizabeth Hoyt

I’ve recently read some pretty heavy novels so I think it was long over due for a fluff fest!

With December being so chilly and long, it often ends up being my steamy romance month. This month I’ve read a lot of historical romances of the ‘bodice ripper’ persuasion…and not necessarily on purpose.

I’ve never read anything by Elizabeth Hoyt so I didn’t really know what to expect.

She has been recommended to me by other historic romance fans and after looking through some of her titles, The Raven Prince caught my eye. I think mostly because I liked the title, it sounded interesting and it sounded almost like a fairy tale.

Release Day Book Blast: FEEL by Karen-Anne Stewart

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Release Day Book Blast: FEEL by Karen-Anne Stewart

01_Feel CoverPublication Date: December 15, 2014

Genre: New Adult, Paranormal Romance

Add to GR ButtonThe one whose emotions I can’t feel is the one who makes me feel the most.

I was a sensitive, at least that’s what I was told by the boy who saved me from the overwhelming emotions that consumed my soul, the boy who saved me from myself when my gift became stronger. Through the years, he was my redemption, my reason to take my next breath…then, he was gone.

Jensen always told me I was strong, but I didn’t believe him until I was forced to be strong on my own, and I kept breathing without him. I’ve taken 42 million breaths since the moment he sent me away. Now, four years later, he’s standing in front of me, and I can barely breathe.

This isn’t just a story about the abilities I possess; it’s a story about something much stronger…the love of the man who possesses every part of me.

***Disclaimer – Feel is intended for readers 18+ due to strong language, mature scenes, and some violence.

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: An Affair Downstairs (Thornbrook Park #2) by Sherri Browning

Though not a baron himself, Logan Winthrop, is from a wealthy family. But he has a colored past. It’s rumored that he killed a man and now lives in shame as an estate manager at Thornbrook Park.

Things are more or less tolerable for Logan…that is until the feisty Lady Alice Emerson sets her sights on him.

Lady Alice has zero interest in marriage but her sister, The Countess of Aberford, intends to make an advantageous match for Alice one way or another.

Alice has a bucket list of sorts….travel and most importantly, have a lover. Nothing major or long term, she just wants to make love once so she can say she did it, and then move on.

Review: Die I Will Not (John Chase Mystery #3) by S.K. Rizzolo

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: Die I Will Not (John Chase Mystery #3) by S.K. Rizzolo

British mysteries are some of my favorite books to read….especially those set in either the Victorian or Regency eras. Who doesn’t love a good murder by gaslight novel?

The John Chase series intrigued me. I often gravitate toward British mysteries/detective novels with female protagonists, so a series that boasted a male detective grabbed me.

Penelope Wolfe has married the wrong man. She tried to break away from her father and in her attempt at ‘independence’ she has found herself very unhappily married. Jeremy is basically gambling himself into the ground.
