by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Top 10 Romances to Read for Valentines Day

Whether you are gearing up for a romantic date night with your significant other or if you prefer to celebrate galentines or brotines instead, I have a list of some wonderful romances in honor of Valentines Day!

I never met a romance I didn’t like and with the release of Bridgerton on Netflix, I think more and more people are embracing romance novels and HEA like never before. I know thatI have been reading all the romances I can get my hands on lately. I love romance and I love watching my favorite heroines get their HEA.

However the road to HEA isn’t always easy, direct or simple. Sometimes there isn’t a HEA but somehow the ending fits the characters perfectly (Wuthering Heights I am looking at you!). So today I picked some of my top 10 favorite romances of all time to share here with you guys! Please drop your favorite romance in the comments below since I am always looking for new romances! My list is in no particular order either, I have loved all of these books for different reasons.

What to Read After Bridgerton

by The Lit Bitch5 Comments on What to Read After Bridgerton

If you have been following me on Instagram, then you will know that I have been binge reading the Bridgerton books. I watched the show in one sitting and was instantly obsessed with not only the Netflix series, but I knew that I needed to read the book. I subsequently devoured all eight books in less than a month. Actually I read The Duke and I back in the spring of 2020, but the other seven books were all ready in less than three weeks, that’s how much I loved them.

Now here I am with a massive book hangover. I picked up another book to read and instantly felt sad—it didn’t compare to the Bridgerton’s and I knew that the only thing to cure my book hangover was to find more books like Bridgerton and devour them too. I know there are other out there who are feeling like me and need something to cure their Bridgeton hangover!

I decided to put together a short list of books to read if you are suffering from Bridgerton withdrawals. These five books are all ones that I have read and enjoyed over the years and I think that others will enjoy too. But let me say this…..if you have watched the show and haven’t read the books—-stop reading this and go read the Bridgerton books first.

Review: The Heiress Gets a Duke (The Gilded Age Heiresses #1) by Harper St. George

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Review: The Heiress Gets a Duke (The Gilded Age Heiresses #1) by Harper St. George

Let’s start off by acknowledging the fact that this cover is simply stunning. When second I laid eyes on this cover, I knew I needed to read it. It’s gorgeous and it promises to capture the feeling of opulence in the Gilded Age. This was an easy yes to review!

I have never read anything by Harper St George before but she has written a number of romances so I was eager to see how she compared to some of the other historical romances I have been reading lately. I instantly fell in love with this one and the characters not to mention to luxurious setting!

I could easily have read this book in one sitting and in fact I almost did but then I had work the following day so I sadly had to put a bookmark in with only 10% left of the book. It was a quick romantic escape full of romance, heat, and chemistry. I loved it and am so glad that this book is the first of her new series. I am really looking forward to Violet’s story next!
