A Whisper of Desire is a continuation of The Disgraced Lords series and A Touch of Passion with focus on the latest member of The Libertine Scholars to garner attention. Lady Marisa Hawkstone and His Grace Maitland Spencer are caught in a compromising position orchestrated by the villainess in an attempt to ruin them both. The marriage of necessity quickly becomes a marriage of desire and lust, but can it become something more? Can Maitland over come his horrific past and dark fears in order to fall for the sweet and innocent Marisa? I love how Bronwen can write ... Continue Reading...
Review: Depraved Heart
Okay, so first off, this book is LONG. I don't mean "this took forever to read because it was lengthy", I mean "the first half nothing happened". I haven't read a Scarpetta novel before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew she was a leader in her literary niche with plenty of novels under her belt but I had no idea she's wrote 23 of this series! This knowledge still didn't prepare me for all the history and past experiences the characters have under gone during the previous novels although Cornwell did an excellent job of catching me up. Depraved Heart was easy ... Continue Reading...
Review: Beastly Bones
In Beastly Bones we return to the city of New England in 1982 with Abigail Rook and R.F. Jackaby where we follow them on yet another adventure of the paranormal nature. When I read book one of this series I had a hunch that the first book would be the foundation of a series that only improve with each installment which, so far, seems to be a fair assumption. I definitely felt like there was plenty of character development and general story building in this installment. Unfortunately, Beastly Bones was rather slow and took awhile to read, but it is definitely worth ... Continue Reading...
Dave vs The Monsters: Ascendance
It took me awhile to get through book three of the Dave Hooper trilogy. I've never been much for military fiction so I think that perhaps the amount of fighting scenes in Ascendance might have slowed me down. It's not that Ascendance wasn't very good or that I disliked it, in fact I still loved it, but I found the beginning fighting scenes that take up a good 40% of the book were unnecessary for someone reading this series for the wit, sarcasm and fantasy elements. Birmingham is extremely well written and his action sequences are believable and inspiring. I struggled ... Continue Reading...
Top 10 Things I Love About The Lunar Chronicles!
1. Bad Ass Mechanics Yeah that's right, number one on the list is Cinder because she's awesome. She's skilled and tough. She's has had a hard life but doesn't let that get in the way of doing what's right. She's the perfect space-criminal Cinderella. 2. It's Unpredictable It's super fun to see how everything comes together at the end of each installment of the Lunar Chronicles series. At the beginning each novel you can sort of see what kinds of plot developments will take place but can't ever predict how they will happen. Even how the broader picture develops is a ...
