Highland Crown Author: May McGoldrick Reviewer: Ang Rating: B+ What I’m Talking About: Highland Crown is the first in a trilogy by May McGoldrick. It is set in Scotland in the 1820s. I was drawn to the novel for a several reasons; first I have Scottish heritage and know next to nothing about the country. […]
First Earl I See Tonight Author: Anna Bennett Reviewer: Ang Rating: B+ What I’m Talking About: I found First Earl I see Tonight to be a lovely diversion on a rainy, cold Saturday.

Maybe This Time Author: Nicole McLaughlin Reviewer: Nima Rating: B- What I’m Talking About: Teenagers, almost all of them, go to high school. It’s unfortunate that Twilight has ruined high school as a setting for too many authors. I confess, when I was introduced to teenage Jen MacKenzie and TJ Laughlin and the two had […]

Nico Author: Sarah Castille Reviewer: VampBard Rating: B What I’m Talking About: I was going to start off 2017 with a DNF. It’s super rare that I do that.

The Hero Author: Donna Grant Reviewer: VampBard Rating: B What I’m Talking About: Stepping out of my comfort zone, I picked up The Hero by Donna Grant. I don’t read a lot of military romantic suspense—honestly, I only read one series and it’s by an author I know I love. Got me another. I’m excited […]
