The premise of this story is unique and intriguing and it was off to a great start, even though it did take me a while to distinguish between the four different friends (Spades, Clubs, Hearts and Diamonds). The chemistry between Katherine and Giles was well-written. I loved their cat and mouse game. But I had trouble believing that the man flirting with Katherine was the same broody one we were introduced to in the first chapter. I was under the assumption that this hero was uptight and a stick in the mud. But he acted the opposite the minute he was introduced to Katherine. And he really did fall for her rather too quickly. The other problem I had with the story was the unnecessary, and quite frankly, irritating, inclusion of Julia's foolish actions. I literally could not care less about her and to be quite honest, Katherine was honestly too easy on her. There was enough tension between Giles and Rayne to drive the plot. The whole thing with Julia was completely unnecessary because Rayne was literally brimming with tension from the very first chapter. He was a bomb just waiting to go off, and he would have gone off even if Giles had not confronted him about Julia. Instead of the time wasted on Rayne and Julia, I wish Katherine had found out about the bet earlier on, mostly because I wanted to read more about Katherine and Giles's marital journey to HEA.
Like I mentioned above, the swift change of personality in Giles took me aback, but overall, I did enjoy him as a hero. I was surprised to find out how sentimental he actually was. Katherine was okay for the most part. I did not appreciate how she constantly kept Septimus's ghost alive in the beginning. I did admire her courage to stand up for herself though. Also, I adored Farring! He was such a delightful supporting character and I hope he gets his own HEA. I'd be very picky about his heroine though, mostly because he deserves the best.
Pairings for next books: (view spoiler)[ Clarissa and Markham? Julia and Rayne (ugh I don't like this pairing)? The Dutch lady and Farring? (not sure about this pairing to be honest) (hide spoiler)]

Damn!! I loved Thea so much!!! I will try my best not to simply gush over her, but oh my God...she made this book for me.
(view spoiler)[ When I was fDamn!! I loved Thea so much!!! I will try my best not to simply gush over her, but oh my God...she made this book for me.
(view spoiler)[ When I was first introduced to Thea, she reminded me of Win from Seduce Me At Sunrise and Helen from Marrying Winterborne. What differentiates this story from these two novels is the hero and heroine. Not only is Tremont a spy, he has almost animal-like urges, more so than Merripen and Rhys, who showcased that side of their nature way after they were intimate with their ladies. Tremont, on the other hand, is different in that his urges are evident very early on in his relationship with Thea. In fact, his urges characterized their relationship. Similarly, Thea had a very passionate nature despite her weak constitution, unlike Win and Helen whose passionate sides only emerged later on.
When I found out that Tremont used to be a spy, I was wary at first because I'm not overly fond of spy stories. But Grace Callway managed to weave an interesting mystery that pulled me in. I liked the whole there's-a-traitor-among-us storyline. I am also so happy we got a chapter on Emma and Alaric. I simply adore them!
Now.......to the real winner of this novel....my girl Thea. She was A M A Z I N G. She FOUGHT for what she wanted and didn't beat around the bush. She came out fighting Tremont asking him to be straightforward with her. She rightly accused him of playing hot and cold. And when she could not get an actual answer from Tremont, did my girl cry and stomp her feet? NOPE. She decided he was not worth her tears and time and decided to go husband hunting, Tremont be damned. Afterwards, Tremont came to her rescue and she realized that he would be the only one for her so then she decided to fight for him. I just....loved Thea so much. She was so realistic, not waiting for Tremont to make a decision and taking control of things. I especially cheered for her when she stood up to him in front of her family. Even after he made it clear that love was not on the table, Thea did not let that one measly word get in the way of what she wanted.
O M G. At one point, Tremont was like "Sylvia this Sylvia that" regarding Freddy (damn Sylvia, by the way) and I felt like SCREAMING. Do you think my girl Thea allowed him to keep at that? Nah. But then Tremont was like "I find both your manner and your words distasteful. This is the last time I'll say it: my marriage is not up for discussion.", to which Thea replied, "Why? Because you're afraid the truth will knock your sainted wife off her pedestal?" GIRL, GO OFF!!
Anyway, if you couldn't guess by now, I fucking loved Thea lol
I wish we were getting Marius's story! Nevertheless, I am super excited for Pandora's book. I always thought the Blackwoods were a galmourous couple who had it all. It's going to be interesting to read about how their marriage will survive after the marquess found about Pandora's past. (hide spoiler)]

The Duke's Wicked Wife is one of my most anticipated reads of 2020. I have I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
4.5 stars
The Duke's Wicked Wife is one of my most anticipated reads of 2020. I have been waiting for Wessex and Eliza's book ever since their playful dynamic ensnared me in Twice as Wicked. The wait was well worth it! The Duke's Wicked Wife concludes the Wicked Secrets series. It can be read as a standalone, but just bear in mind that characters from the previous books in the series make several appearances.
Sebastian, the Duke of Wessex, is not in love with his friend Miss Eliza Benton. Miss Eliza Benton barely tolerates her friend Sebastian, the Duke of Wessex. They just happen to know each other inside out. Sebastian and Eliza have developed a weird sort of friendship, where Sebastian likes to annoy her and Eliza likes to admonish him, all while rolling her eyes at him. It's a fun and playful dynamic with witty banter that started back in Twice As Wicked, the first book of the series. In The Duke's Wicked Wife, we get to dig deeper into who Sebastian and Eliza really are as individual beings and as friends who are obviously not in love with each other.
What I enjoyed about Eliza and Sebastian's romance is that it is very character-driven. There are no big plot twists or big adventures. Of course, both Sebastian and Eliza have their secrets, but nothing big or life-changing like in the previous books in the series. And I really liked that! This book was different and low-key, but it still packed a lot of heart, steam, and hilarity. Given that this book is character-driven, the main characters are very introspective, which adds a lot of depth to the characterization of both the hero and heroine. The Duke's Wicked Wife is a delicious slow burn friends to lovers romance and the pay off is really worth the wait. I really enjoyed getting to know Eliza and Sebastian better and I love that they finally have their HEA.
P.S. There's also a delightful secondary romance in this book. It is well-written and doesn't take away from the primary romance.
Thoughts on the Wicked Secrets series overall:
As the series title suggests, there are many secrets! But this is primarily a series with friends and family at the centre of it all. It just so happens that these friends and family members are hiding big secrets lol! I think my favourite is a tie between Twice As Wicked and The Duke's Wicked Wife. My least favourite is Lady Gone Wicked because I'm not a fan of the trope in that book. The most unique character in this series is Lady Claire from Wicked With The Scoundrel; I think readers either love or hate her and I happen to ADORE her. The Duke's Wicked Wife does a good job concluding the series, but Claire and Colin don't make an appearance.
Overall, I really enjoyed this series and I look forward to finding out what else Elizabeth Bright has in store for us!

Theo just b3.5 stars
You say house party, and I come running! I couldn't resist the premise of an enemies to lovers romance set during a house party.
Theo just became the new Duke of Desborough and he's working hard to clean the mess his disgraceful father left behind. His family's reputation is bad and Theo has a lot of work ahead of him to gain the trust of his neighbours and tenants. He tries to convince his neighbour's daughter, Miss Georgiana Milford, to be on his side during a house party they are both attending. On her end, Georgiana is convinced that Theo is just a replica of his father, and she's not about to get close to her father's enemy.
I liked this book. It reminded me of the early 2000s romance novels I used to read back in the day (I sound like a grandma, but it's okay). The romance is sweet and steamy, and the house party shenanigans are exactly what I was looking for. I had fun reading it overall, but there were a few things that stopped me from giving this book a solid 4 star rating.
It was a bit hard to understand why everyone's animosity for the late Duke would automatically extend to his heir, especially when they have never met him before and he has never given them cause to think he's just like his father. Georgiana's family hated him so much that they gave him the cut direct. I mean, he's still a Duke at the end of the day lol and Georgiana's family, while rich, has no title. The main characters, their motivation, and their aspiration were all easy enough to understand. But there was a layer of superficiality about the characterization. We do have some great scenes where Theo calls Georgiana out for her assumptions about his character. But overall, both Theo and Georgiana felt like your typical historical romance hero and heroine; there isn't anything special to make them stand out in the genre. And as it is with most historical romances now, expect anachronisms as they have become the norm.
Another thing I wanted to talk about…Georgiana briefly mentions that the English raped and pillaged for their land, but she doesn't extend the same commentary about the US and Canada when there are ongoing conversations about North America. If the author wanted her heroine to make social commentaries, then why is she not consistent about it? Rape and pillaging happened in North America so the land could be colonized. Indigenous peoples faced genocide at the hands of the British Empire, but why not mention that? Or is that too "woke"? Basically, what I'm trying to say is that authors should stay away from social commentary if they can't be consistent about it.
Anyway, this is a fun and light historical romance if you don't overthink it too much lol....more

This version of Anne and WentwortThis is a review for Mary Balogh's Almost Persuaded only, which is a Persuasion retelling with a reincarnation twist.
This version of Anne and Wentworth have lived many previous lives, but they were never able to achieve their HEA. They kept getting reborn and now we know them as Captain Robert and Jane.
The insta-love is the dumbest thing I have ever read in my entire life. The man proposed marriage after 2 hours of knowing her. Why? Because his guru in India had guided him into meditation and trance and that's how he remembered all of his past lives. Why was he in India? Because that's where his regiment was. The author chose India because of the reincarnation trope, but fails to even mention that India was under brutal colonization by the British empire.
There is no build up, no tension, no angst, no pining. The second chance romance comes into the form of the reincarnation trope. I can't even begin to explain just how ridiculous this novella is. I would be surprised if Mary Balogh was indeed the author....more

Guilty Pleasures is book 1 iReview edited on May 29, 2023: Downgraded from 4 stars to 1 star. See here. ------------------------------------------------
Guilty Pleasures is book 1 in the Guilty series and it's about a spinster bluestocking who works as a restorer and is in love with her boss. But he doesn't even know she exists beyond the work that she does for him.
This was a cute story. When Daphne overhears Anthony's comment about her, she's hurt, but it also pushes her to live her life. Anthony finally starts noticing Daphne when she resigns. He tries to bargain with her to get her to stay, and we all know where that will lead. There are two layers of power dynamic here - Anthony is not only her boss, he's also a Duke. So it is a bit icky, but the story more or less focuses on Daphne coming into her own and realizing her worth as both a scholar and a woman....more

Alex is the reclusive half-Palestinian Marquess of Brandon who stays far away from society. He goes undercover as a footman in the home of a renowned mapmaker who cheated him out of his land. Alex is determined to find evidence and take revenge. What he doesn't know is that the mapmaker in question is his new mistress Rose Fleming, who operates under her husband's name.
The footman shenanigans were honestly hilarious LOL. I had a great time picturing Alex in his tight footman uniform. I love how he assumed it would be easy to go undercover as a footman, and then quickly learned just how terrible he is at this job. His friendship with the household staff was so cute, especially his interactions with Owen.
Fun undercover premise aside, I was a bit worried about how the truth of Alex's deception would eventually unfold...but I think it was well-executed overall. It took forever for the truth about his identity to be revealed, which frustrated me, but Rose rightfully didn't let Alex get away with his deception so easily. She took her time to get used to his new identity and he just had to deal with it lol.
There were some nice revelations about Alex that surprised me, like the fact that he learned Arabic and had actually spent quite a lot of time with his Arab cousins and grandfather, without poor Leela's knowledge. We had some great Leela and Alex scenes, during which they talked about their late mother and how her attempt to erase their Arab heritage was unhealthy. It was also so nice to see Rose interact with Alex's family, especially since she has no family of her own. Rose's late grandfather was Lebanese, so she has another chance to learn more about her Arab heritage.
"But can anyone find true contentment if they're expected to completely ignore a significant part of who they are?"
Alex being cheated out of his land echoes the Palestinian cause and highlights Arabs' attachment to their land. It is Alex's deep love for his land that motivated him to take action. This love is especially evident through Alex's diligent gardening and his deep care towards growing olive groves.
"You see, Fleming, people of my sort, Arabs, do have a love of the land. In fact, my love for my land runs so deep that I intend to destroy you for trying to take it from me."
May the zionists also be destroyed for stealing Palestinian land.
Anyway, I finished this book feeling very jealous of Rose LOL. More Arab heroes in romance, please and thanks~...more
Hanna Zaydan is a bonesetter, a profession with a bad reputation in Regency England. Viscount Griffin has been an outcast in society ever since his paHanna Zaydan is a bonesetter, a profession with a bad reputation in Regency England. Viscount Griffin has been an outcast in society ever since his parents were murdered. Everyone thinks he killed his parents. When he discovers a clue about his parents' killer, it leads him directly to Hanna. For once, his chronic pain from an injury comes into use as he has the perfect excuse to see Hanna and discreetly dig for information.
From the start, I was thoroughly enchanted with Hanna and Griff's chemistry. I especially loved seeing Griff's skepticism about bonesetting gradually change into complete awe when Hanna fixed him up. Hanna, who was able to cure him when all other doctors had given up on him. The man falls HARD and we get a healthy dose of competence kink through him. He's completely taken with Hanna and her competent skills as a bonesetter. I love how obsessed he is with her competence, to the point that it turns him on. I also really appreciated the history about bonesetters; it's not something I ever thought to encounter in a historical romance, so Diana Quincy gets bonus points here!
Just like Hunt in the previous book, Griff actually wants to marry Hanna, and not once does he think she's beneath him. Not once does he think she's not good enough for him. In fact, he's completely swept away by Hanna and he's so incredibly supportive of her career. He goes out of his way to ensure that she can thrive as a bonesetter. He acknowledges that there will be obstacles and a scandal, but he doesn't care, especially since the same dreadful society assumed he was a murderer. It's honestly such a breath of fresh air to have heroes like Griff and Hunt in historical romance.
I love how practical Diana Quincy's heroines are. Hanna is patient with idiots who doubt her skills. She also calls Griff out when he needs to be called out. At the same time, she's quick to help Griff with investigating his parents' murder. Hanna and Griff's romance is a sloooooow burn friends to lovers. I thought this would be more enemies to lovers because of Griff's initial skepticism. But Griff knows a good and competent woman when he sees one, so his skepticism quickly changes to HEART EYES LOL. Their romance is not as steamy as Hunt and Leela's romance, but the payoff is satisfactory regardless.
As for the murder mystery, the culprit's identity is painfully predictable. Honestly, I was so pissed off at how Griff was the victim of gaslighting this entire time. It was infuriating. Aside from the predictable mystery, I really wish we could have seen Hanna and her cousin the Marquess of Brandon interact one-on-one. Hopefully in the next book!
P.S. Griff doing the dabke is something I really needed LOL. Waiting for Hunt to do the dabke next lol....more

A Lady of the West is first and foremost a tale of revenge. Jake and his younger brother Ben want to avenge the murder of their parents and retake their ranch by force. Their parents' murderer is living in their home and he has just taken a new young wife, Victoria, who brought her cousin and younger sister with her. Their arrival puts a wrench in Jake and Ben's revenge plans.
There are two romances happening here: Victoria and Jake and Ben and Emma (Victoria's cousin). I was not convinced with how quickly Victoria fell in love with Jake. I was also not happy with Jake's eventual treatment of Victoria...I was actually shocked that he struck her. WTF was Linda Howard thinking?? It ruined everything!
I continued reading because I was very invested in Ben and Emma. Theirs was a slow burn romance with so much chemistry. I really wish there was more focus on them. They were the best couple and they made this book tolerable enough to read until the end.
There was also a third romance...until it ended in tragedy. Again...WTF was Linda Howard thinking??...more

It's a very typical historical marriage of convenience. But there was so much focus on supporting characters that I did not care about. To be honest, the only character I liked was the hero LOL.
This is also a very modern type of historical romance, just like the TV show Bridgerton. If that's your jam, then you will probably like this comic. As for me, I'm out ✌...more
