Review: A Highlander is Coming to Town (Highland, Georgia #3) by Laura Trentham
Yes I know it’s barely fall and I should be gearing up for all the spooky and mystery reads (don’t worry I am!) right now, but yes this is a Christmas book that you see here today! Every year I always say to myself ‘I am going to wait until Nov 1 before reading any Christmas books’ and every year I manage to squeeze one or two in before all the horror and ghost stories. This book sounded like it would be a quick, easy, and festive read that I could burn through in a day or two and it was exactly that and I finished it feeling satisfied and…

Throw the rules out the window and get this book on your TBR! Not only does it have an adorable dog on the cover—-that in of itself is enough to hook me!—-but Nancy Naigle is one of my go to Christmas authors!

If you are looking forward to Christmas romances and Hallmark Holiday films then this is…

Special Feature: A Most English Princess: A Novel of Queen Victoria’s Daughter by Clare McHugh
Queen Victoria is hands down my favorite British Queen. Not only was she an interesting and powerful ruler, but her romance and marriage with Prince Albert was decidedly romantic and I just can’t get enough of it. But I will admit that I know little about her children other than she had tons and tons of children who eventually went on to wed other powerful rulers in Europe. When I saw that this book was coming out, I jumped on it. It sounds so interesting to me even if it is more fictional than non fiction. I couldn’t fit it into my review calendar for the month but I am…

Review: Before the Crown by Flora Harding
Not only is this cover absolutely breathtaking, but the story sounded excellent as well. But in all honesty, it was the cover that captured my attention and made me want to read this one! Thanks to shows like The Crown, royals and Queen Elizabeth have been getting a lot of attention and focus. In The Crown though we don’t get too much background on the early years of Princess Elizabeth so that’s why this one excited me so much. This book promised to shed some light on the romance between Phillip and Elizabeth and I was absolutely here for it!

Special Feature and Excerpt: The Orphan of Cemetery Hill by Hester Fox
Hester Fox has quickly become a favorite author of mine. I have read all of her books and every fall I look forward to a new release. I love her story telling style, her novels are full of atmosphere and lovely Gothic elements. I can’t say enough good things about her books and am so thrilled to be sharing a bit about this upcoming book today. I will be reading it in October and this excerpt is tempting me so much to abandon my current read in favor of this one. I hope you enjoy this excerpt as much as I did and be sure to check this one out…

Review: The Forgotten Kingdom (The Lost Queen Trilogy #2) by Signe Pike
The Lost Queen was one of my favorite reads of last year and I raved about it to everyone I knew. Not to mention I gave it to all my friends and family as a Christmas present too. So it’s easy to say that I had this next book on my TBR the instant I was done with the first book. The second it was available on Netgalley, I downloaded it and started reading. Not going to lie, this one took me a lot longer to read than I was anticipating. Not because it was bad (not at all!) I just started it at a time when I was busy…

Review: A Heart of Blood and Ashes (A Gathering of Dragons #1) by Milla Vane
Say hello to my longest read of the year. Not necessarily the longest book in terms of pages, but rather in terms of how long it took me to actually read this one! I started this one at the beginning of July people and here it is September and I am just now finishing it! In fact I finished it last week and to be honest that shocked me. I fully expected to finish this book in only a few sittings and sadly I just didn’t But there are a couple of reasons for that—I had a lot of other books going and this one wasn’t a partner review so…

Special Feature and Excerpt: Secret Crush Seduction (The Heirs of Hansol #2) by Jayci Lee
While I might be gearing up for all my favorite fall reads, which usually include a ton of mysteries and thrillers rather than romances, ever once in a while a romance catches my eye. I love this romance novel cover and of course with it being a Harlequin novel, I know it’s going to be a good one! Today I have this upcoming billionaire style romance up for special feature including an excerpt. If you are looking for a shot break from all the murder mysteries that are coming out, then look no further than this book right here!

Special Feature: The Paris Model by Alexandra Joel
Can we talk about how stunning this cover it before we even start talking about the book? This cover caught my eye and instantly made me want to read it. I love the colors and of course the Eiffel Tower in the background only enhanced the beauty of the cover. I also thought it captured the essence of this novel. This is a novel featuring Christian Dior and I think it absolutely does the famous designer justice. The cover just reminds me of a call back to a more elegant time and I can’t tell you how much I love it. This book is out now and if you love…

Review: A Rogue of One’s Own (A League of Extraordinary Women #2) by Evie Dunmore
To say that Bringing Down the Duke was one of my favorite books of 2019 would be a drastic understatement. I bought it for every woman reader in my family for Christmas. I absolutely loved Evie Dunmore’s debut novel and the book hangover that followed was so real! I have been checking Netgalley weekly to see when the next book in the series will be available and the second it was out, I downloaded it. I knew I would be reviewing this one in September so I had plenty of time to read it but I couldn’t help myself! I started reading it in June and was done in 2…
