Review: Gentleman Jim by Mimi Matthews

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: Gentleman Jim by Mimi Matthews

I haven’t met a Mimi Matthews book that I didn’t love and Gentleman Jim is no exception! I absolutely loved this one! Mimi Matthews is an auto-buy author for me. She always writes such wonderful romances with heart, chemistry, and they always leave me satisfied with a smile.

I will say that I didn’t love the title of the book but when I read the author’s notes about why she went with Jim instead of Jack, I could understand but I still liked Gentleman Jack better.

But no matter, Gentleman Jim is a large part of the story but not necessarily a principal character. If you love The Count of Monte Cristo and Wuthering Heights, this is the book you have been waiting for!

Review: The Diabolical Bones (Brontë Sisters Mystery #2) by Bella Ellis

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: The Diabolical Bones (Brontë Sisters Mystery #2) by Bella Ellis

This is a series that could have gone so wrong or so right depending on the execution. The Bronte sisters as detectives? I just wasn’t sure when I first heard about it. But I am also a huge fan of all things Bronte so I decided to read the first book anyway.

I am so glad I did, because I loved it! I worried that it would be hokey because the Bronte’s wrote romance rather than mystery so I just worried it wouldn’t translate well in this modern mashup of Brontes and murder. But it was great the first book was so fun and interesting that when the next book came up for review, it was an immediate yes for me.

I loved this one just as much as I loved the first book and I love seeing how the author has evolved and grown into her writing style and the characters have evolved right along with her! This was a fun quick read that I finished in a weekend!

Anyone need a rom-com to get through the holidays this year? I know I do! I love rom-coms during the holidays even if they don’t really have a holiday element to them.

This one has been getting a lot of attention all over social media which may or may not be a good thing, but for me this one sounds like a winner! I am going to read it a little later on this winter but for now, I am bringing you all the details here!

If you love rom-coms and books that are getting a little buzzy then this might be one you should add to your TBR or snag while you wait in the airport to head home for the holidays! I cannot wait to check it out!

Special Feature: Without a Brew (Sloan Krause #4) by Ellie Alexander

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Special Feature: Without a Brew (Sloan Krause #4) by Ellie Alexander

I have been a big fan of Ellie Alexander! I have enjoyed this series quite a bit but couldn’t get it on my review schedule for the fall, however I am going to read it later on this winter!

Alexander is a Pacific Northwest writer and I have loved reading her books that are all set in Oregon and Washington. Many of the places I know and recognize which makes the book hold a special place in my heart!

This particular series has a craft brew element which may or may not be you thing but I personally enjoyed it and I love all of her descriptions of the beers not to mention the food! Alexander also consistently crafts a great mystery and I have no reason to believe this book will be any different!
