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: 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...
Re-Review: Nirvana
This is my review of the revised and published edition of Nirvana. My review of the ARC copy of Nirvana, which I enjoyed, can be found here. I'm pretty sure Nirvana was rewritten to fit with a middle grade audience or YA focus on the second go around.

To be fair, in such a short amount of time the author rewrote Nirvana better than I ever could. Uhh..okay. So, ... 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 ...

Review: Scarlet
Marissa Meyer is quickly becoming one of my favorite YA authors. Her fusion of Young Adult romance and science fiction with personal touches to well known fairy tales makes for a unique read. I love how she's also added a few subtle pieces from the wildly popular Sailor Moon anime without really giving it away. I didn't really pick up on the Sailor Moon influences until I was trying to convince a friend she should read The Lunar Chronicles, but maybe that's only because I'm not a huge fan of anime.. If you have not read Cinder (Lunar Chronicles, Book 1), I would ... Continue Reading...
