Plot Trysts

We were both so charmed by the road trip romance between a brutal Visigoth and a Roman princess. We were not charmed by the asshole king letting his people starve, oh wait, it was the same dude.

The concept of this series is very cool, and this book is very effective, but it was also hard to read at this moment in time.

Do I get what is objectively good about Mary Balogh's writing? Yes. Is a low-stakes, low-conflict, low-steam story what I need right now? Not really.

Loretta is BACK. Is this the marriage in crisis as we expected? No. But once you set aside the expectation that something horrible is about to happen this book is a FANTASTIC brother's best friend romance.

Meg and Alex resume their read of all Laura Kinsale's books. Today they are joined by Angelina M. Lopez to discuss the Shadow and the Star.

This book is exactly what we expect from this series, rompy and very very sexy. Please give me a book about Jasper, I am such a sucker for a real spy.

We read this because we will read pretty much anything set in Egypt. There were parts that were really fun, but you can really tell it was written in 1997.

We were both a bit scared of this book and were pleasantly surprised, but were left wondering who the target audience was. Also, we now return to our regular posting schedule.
