Review: The Lost Boys of London (Bianca Goddard Mysteries #5) by Mary Lawrence
Bianca Goddard is a completely new to me sleuth, last year was the first time I discovered her and it was the fourth book that I picked up. I was told that each book in the series could be read as a standalone, so I was excited to dive in, even if I was skeptical. I was thrilled that the book was indeed possible to read as a standalone and thought it was a very interesting and enjoyable series so I was excited to read the next book, even if I haven’t gone back and read the other books in the series. This book sounded exceptionally good as it is…

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…

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…

Special Feature: The Book of Longings by Sue Monk Kidd
Sue Monk Kidd’s books have always been poignant, interesting, and well written and her latest book promises to be all that and more. This book takes a fictional approach to Jesus’s life as a man rather than the divine. I think this is going to be one of those books that people either fall in love with, or simply can’t believe. Either way, Sue Monk Kidd’s skills as a writer and research are undeniable and not to be missed. I for one have this book on my TBR and you should too! I am thrilled to be able to share a little about this book with you all today!

Review: Lakeshire Park by Megan Walker
I fell head over heels in love with this cover and couldn’t wait to start reading it. The cover reminds me of a Jane Austen novel and the summary boasted a charming and sweet romance—-a tough one to resist for certain! I picked this one up early one morning and could have easily finished it in one sitting if life hadn’t interfered! As it was, I finished it in two sittings and was scouring the internet looking for more books by this new to me author. This was just the book that I needed to read right now and I couldn’t be more excited to review it!

Review: The Socialite by J’nell Ciesielski
This cover is absolutely stunning. The red dress just draws my eye right to the book and I knew before even reading the summary that this was going to be a book that I would want to read. If you are a fan of historical fiction, then this book is likely already on your radar but if it’s not then it should be because it was a fun read! While this book has romance at its center, there is plenty of historical details and information for fans of historical fiction to love as well.

Review: Who Speaks for the Damned (Sebastian St. Cyr #15) by C.S. Harris
When I started reading the Sebastian St Cyr books from beginning to end in December, I had this book in the forefront of my mind. I had really jumped around in this series over the years and that often left me feeling a little confused as to different character relations. I was tried of feeling lost in the series, so before this book came out I went back and read the entire series beginning to end starting in December. There wasn’t a single minute that I regretted that decision. I loved all of the books, though some were better than others, I still enjoyed watching the characters evolve and change.…
