Special Feature: Island Affair by Priscilla Oliveras

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Special Feature: Island Affair by Priscilla Oliveras

This cover is all kinds of eye catching and exotic. I mean who isn’t dreaming of a tropical, exotic get away right now?! I for one sure am and this cover looks so inviting. All I need is a pina colada in hand to make this perfect!

I love that this book is set on a little island in Key West with all the flavors and vibes of the Caribbean and Cuba, not to mention the summary sounds fantastic and the perfect kind of escape.

Today I have all the info for this book which is out tomorrow and even though I only have a feature up today, you better believe it’s on my TBR because it sounds perfect for summer! Continue reading “Special Feature: Island Affair by Priscilla Oliveras” →

Review: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston (Audible Edition)

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston (Audible Edition)

This book has been all over my social media, especially my Instagram. I even ordered a Book of the Month that I didn’t really want just so I could get this book as an add on when I missed it in December when it was the selection.

My sister also sent me a copy of this book for Valentine’s Day and as soon as I started reading, I downloaded the Audible Edition so I could keep reading even while I was in the car.

The Audible narration is fantastic by the way. Sometimes I find it difficult to read and listen to the same book together but with this one it wasn’t a problem at all. Continue reading “Review: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston (Audible Edition)” →

Review: Duke Darcy’s Castle (Dare to Defy #3) by Syrie James

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: Duke Darcy’s Castle (Dare to Defy #3) by Syrie James

I have recently had a lot of luck with historical/Regency romances and when this book came along I was excited to see if my luck would hold!

Admittedly though, this cover didn’t speak to me in any way. In fact it was a little confusing. The pose is a little awkward and a pose of that nature is usually reserved for more saucy romances but in this one, the characters are fully clothed and it made me think more clean romance.

But either way, I thought the summary sounded fun and I especially liked the crumbling castle element so I was excited to check it out and see if it was something that I could fall in love with! Continue reading “Review: Duke Darcy’s Castle (Dare to Defy #3) by Syrie James” →

Review: Mrs Boots (Mrs Boots #1) by Deborah Carr

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Review: Mrs Boots (Mrs Boots #1) by Deborah Carr

Deborah Carr is an author that only recently popped onto my radar with her book The Poppy Field. When her latest novel came up for review I found myself eager to read it as I hadn’t gotten around to The Poppy Field yet.

I was also intrigued by the fact that this book is told mostly through letters and I love epistolary novels so this book was a no brainer yes for me.

The other thing that drew me to this book was the fact that I knew nothing about this apparently well known women, Florence Boot. Before this book I hadn’t heard of her or the well known—but clearly not to me—Boots chemists. I love learning about new things so I was open to finding out more via this historical fiction novel!
