The Reinvention of The Rose by Christina C. Jones (Roses & Thorns #1)

September 11, 2021 Leave a Comment

This book is a spin-off from Jones’ High Stakes series and, while it could read as a standalone, I think it is helpful to read High Stakes before diving into this book. Our protagonist is Tempest, a woman in her twenties who has spent her entire life as a Rose, an assassin for a secretRead the Post

Counterpoint and Reverb by Anna Zabo

May 1, 2021 Leave a Comment

One of my 2021 bookish goals is to read more series so I decided to finish the Twisted Wishes series.

Counterpoint Twisted Wishes’ 27-year-old  guitaristRead the Post

The Duchess Deal and The Governess Game by Tessa Dare

October 8, 2018 Leave a Comment

I cringed a little when I first heard this series was about romances between untitled women and dukes but Dare makes it work. Our heroes might be dukes, but these women bring them to their knees. These fun historical rom-coms aren’t afraid to bend the historical accuracy and even have a few fun anarchistic popRead the Post
