Musings of a Romance Author
For a change, I’ve gone for baseball college romance rather than football. It’s a familiar theme where the college jock needs to be tutored by the smart girl in order to pass and get picked for the draft. Heat and steam wise it’s mid levels because it takes time for them to take the leap. … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “Dirty Curve” by Meagan Brandy
Maddox Brothers Book Two I've moved on quickly to the next Maddox Brothers book and it was so easy to read.

She’s a strong-willed character, a determined and … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “Beautiful Redemption” by Jamie McGuire
The Four Horseman Book 1 Let me start by saying that if you have a serious intolerance of cases of Stockholm Syndrome then don’t even try this book.

My former work colleagues bought me a useful … Continue reading Unconventional Nineteenth-Century Women

While the heat and steam levels are nice, there’s nothing else that gets the pulse going. Ryder Voss is the college football quarterback. He’s one of the guys. They like to have fun, place … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “I Bet You” by Ilsa Madden-Mills
It feels like it’s been ages since I did a personal post. There have been lots of changes for me over the last few months, so I thought it was about time for an update. The main change is I quit my day job. I could no longer manage the stress and pressure of working … Continue reading I’m Out of the Closet!

We are dumped with a load of backstory to fill in the gap between the end of the last book and this one, which I would … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “A Court of Mist and Fury” by Sarah J Maas
The Quicksilver Series Book 3 Warnings: Sexual assault Forced abortion The opening chapters are filled with more flashbacks mixed with real-time. The author loves this device to tell the story of Eric and Jane’s first meetings and early relationship, where Jane is running scared and continually trying to push Eric away. I moaned about the … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “The Love Trap” by Nicole French
Married to Magic Book 1 This is an intriguing fantasy premise that features some familiar elements from the real world, mixed with magic and fantastical animals. It’s a slow-burn romance, but there’s plenty of curiosity inspired in the opening chapters to spark the reader’s interest. Luella is the town healer, her magic has been hidden … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “A Deal with the Elf King” by Elise Kova
I know it’s been a long time since I promised a post on Dr James Barry, the surgeon who rose through the ranks of the British Army and was renowned for their passionate dedication to public health reforms. Anyway, because it’s LGBTQ+ history month in the UK, I thought now was the time to make … Continue reading Dr James Barry – Trans man or ambitious trickster?
