Audiobook Mini Reviews: The Summer Wives, Devil in Spring

I’m a big fan of dual timeline historical fiction stories, so The Summer Wives was one I was looking forward to, especially since I’ve really enjoyed other books by Beatriz Williams! However, this one was a miss for me. While both time periods were captivating and written vividly, where it lacked for me was the characters. The romance was instant and unbelievable and I was missing that emotional connection to any of the characters. That disconnect made the book seem […]

She is this super spunky, smart, outspoken woman that men wrinkle their nose at because that’s not how […]

Series Review: The Wallflowers by Lisa Kleypas

This series was my gateway drug to historical romance!! So many of my book friends love historical romance and Lisa Kleypas and it took me forever to get around to reading her. Then I picked up her Wallflowers series and binged all five books in a week. I JUST LOVED. The series is set in the 1800s in England and features a group of four girls who are “wallflowers”. For one reason or another, they are having issues capturingĀ a respectable […]
