In just a few days, Vanessa Riley will release her second Betting Against the Duke book... but I still had to read the first! A Gamble at Sunset came out last year, and at long last I've made time to read it. Kicking off the series, this one focuses on a fake engagement scheme between... Continue Reading →

It's off to a fun start, and I already look forward... Continue Reading →

Next week, K. Lyn Smith releases her fourth Hearts of Cornwall novel, Kissing Kate. Though I haven’t yet read the earlier books in the series, this Regency romance works perfectly as a standalone.

Last summer, I committed an offense to book series that I rarely do: I skipped the first book and decided to start with the second. This was no innocent accident; I did it knowingly.
