10 posts | 16 read | 4 to read
Based on the family from the bestselling Love in a Nutshell, the story of an heiress longing to marry for love or not at all... From The New York Times bestselling writing duo Janet Evanovich and Dorien Kelly, comes the story of a young woman's search for true love. Caroline Maxwell would like nothing more than to join her brother, Eddie, and his friend, Jack Culhane, on their adventures. While Jack and Eddie are off seeing the world, buying up businesses and building wildly successful careers, Caroline's stuck at home frightening off the men her mother hopes will ask for her hand in marriage. When her mother sets her sights on the questionable Lord Bremerton as a possible suitor, Caroline struggles with her instincts and the true nature of her heart. She longs for adventure, passion, love, and most of all . . . Jack Culhane, an unconventional Irish-American bachelor with new money and no title. A completely unacceptable suitor in the eyes of Caroline's mother. But Caroline's dark hair, brilliant eyes and quick wit have Jack understanding just why it is people fall in love and get married. Set in New York City in 1894, The Husband List is an American gilded age romantic mystery. It evokes memories of the lavish lifestyles and social expectations of the Vanderbilts and Rockefellers—a time when new money from the Americas married Old World social prestige and privilege. Dresses by Worth, transcontinental ocean voyages, lavish parties, a little intrigue, and a lot of romance await in, The Husband List.

Glad I finally listened to this! I've had it as a physical book on my shelf for a while, and just never seemed to find the time for it. It was a cute story. 😊

Having the kind of day where my Libby app doesn't work and I have to reinstall it just to listen to my current audiobook. 😒

#30junebooks #underrated @howjessreads I find the romance genre as a whole to be underrated. Romance authors don‘t get enough credit! Sure you get some poorly written fluff, but that happens in any genre. I have read bad romances but I‘ve also read some really amazing stories. Pictured are just a few of my faves.

Freespirit I hardly read any romance...I did read Me Before You and enjoyed it a lot! 6y
SW-T This is the one that started me on romances 6y
BooknerdsLife Oh you are right! Romance has always been my least favourite genre even tho I‘ve read some good ones 😱 6y

Ugh. I opened up my Libby to see I only have two days left on this one, so I guess I‘ll be finishing it on my way to work tomorrow. I‘ve been enjoying it, though I‘m not finding it as good as most of her of her other books. Maybe it‘s because I‘m not huge on #historicalfiction

Disappointing. The romance was lacklustre and the mystery/thriller/adventure plot was lacking. No one really felt fully rounded and it was no where near as funny as Evanovich can be (even compared to her other books with co-writers). Hey ho.

Back at the youth hostel again ahead of another 0500 shift tomorrow and this is the paperback I bought with me. It‘s been sitting on the to read shelf for ages and this seems like the right time of year to read it!

As I assemble my #cupidgoespostal package, this seemed an appropriate book.

I really liked this book. My only complaint is that i wish the ending was played out differently and had more depth.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Different for Evanovich but well written. I wish there were more books in this series.

I bought this a while ago because I think Evanovitch is hilarious... But then I read another book the she co-authored and it was super disappointing. I can't quite get past that disappointment enough to want to dig into this 😑 Anyone have an autobuy author with a book you found super disappointing?
