Musings of a Romance Author

He's been crushing on Camille Camlin, who works … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “Beautiful Oblivion” by Jamie McGuire
A Court of Thorns and Roses Book One It took me quite a while to get into this book. It felt like something was missing and I still can’t identify what. There’s lots of short scenes that at first don’t appear to add much to the plot at all. It was all very superficial and … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “A Court of Thorns and Roses” by Sarah J Maas
The Quicksilver Series Book 2 The story opens straight after Eric left Jane at the altar. I never understood why Jane’s dad, the head of a secret society of powerful men, cared about stopping one of his fellow society members from marrying his daughter. A daughter he never had anything to do with during her … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “The Kiss Plot” by Nicole French
Irresistible Bachelors book 8 I fancied an accidental pregnancy romance and thought I would give this a go. It’s a new to me author, but even though it’s book 8 in a series it’s easily read as a stand alone. Both Rose and Nicolas have achieved great things career wise, but they feel their personal … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “Baby Daddy” by Lauren Landish
The Quicksilver Series Book 1 When I finished this book, which ended on a huge cliffhanger, I was left with a lingering question: Did I enjoy it? It felt like it took me ages to read it, and if I’m honest, it left me with a bit of a hangover. First, there were a few … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “The Hate Vow” by Nicole French
Love by Numbers Book 3 I was very wary starting this book because I want to like it, but I worried that I wouldn't. It’s become clear that I have a hit and miss relationship with this author, and the last book in this series was a bit meh for me. Anyway, I wanted to … Continue reading My Review: “11 Scandals to a start to Win a Duke’s Heart” by Sarah MacLean
Spitfire Series Book 3 We’re straight into the action after Skylar has been kidnapped by her father’s loan shark. Once Brandon rescues her, they reunite but the bad guy gets away. Can they really overcome everything that was revealed at the end of the last book with a quick hug? Obviously not, so let’s see … Continue reading My Review: “Legally Ours” by Nicole French
Love by Numbers Book 2 This seemed to take forever to get through. When I started it, I had very little free time and I read it in short snippets, which made it difficult for me to get absorbed into the story. Lord Nicolas St. John is sent on a mission to find his friend’s … Continue reading My Review: “Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord” by Sarah MacLean
Kings of Cypress Prep Book 2 I jumped straight into book 2 of this series after the cliffhanger at the end of book 1. Likewise, Blue dives straight into the minefield back at school after the video of her and West was posted on social media. Again, I don’t feel the author handled this well. … Continue reading My Review: “Never His Girl” by Rachel Jonas
Spitfire Series Book 2 I really loved the first book, but I have to be honest, I didn’t get the same feels on this one. I think it’s because the plot sags a bit, and I lost a certain amount of empathy for Skylar. We’re straight into some heavy angst, and I advise there are … Continue reading My Review: “Legally Mine” by Nicole French
