Welcome to Litsy!

Another super-belated review—I read this back in August.

This is Heyer, so of course it was a delight. Ancilla, companion-governess and “too old” to consider romance (28) didn‘t factor “the Nonesuch” into her plans… The two leads are as likable, witty, and intelligent as Ancilla‘s spoiled charge, Tiffany, is annoying. The misunderstanding in the middle is far too easily resolved, but I liked the characters too much for me to be put off by it. ⤵️

I always say that historical romance isn't my favorite subgenre but apparently I love them as long as there is some madcap adventure plot because Earl Crush stole the show last quarter and joined A Shore Thing in the next round. Absolutely adored it. Rules for Ghosting is my pick for October, it was the perfect mix of introspection, romance, and paranormal.

⭐️⭐️
I would like to start by saying that I hate this title *so* very much 😂 I wish I had judged the book by its title because this was not the best.
I really enjoyed the first book in this series, but this did not hit the same. The middle was so long & boring, and that was the whole time the two main characters were together, so that wasn‘t great.
I will read the next book in the series to see Simon‘s story, but my expectations are tempered.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This book was just good to read.
It is light and happy, all the characters are immensely likeable, and there is so much emotional introspection from all five of the "main" people, it's just enjoyable.
There is also a focus on male friendship and found family that is rarely shown, and of true family loving each other while fundamentally, though not purposely, misunderstanding each other.
If you need a fun, happy break, I recommend this!

Going away for one night, brought 4 books #iykyk I loved this very spicy very exciting historical romance thank you to all the Littens who recommended it

Thursday night is Friday night for me, long weekend starts now with new books that arrived today #livingmybestlife

Influenced by Litsy as usual

Cute and kinda steamy. Good narrator 🎧

Okay, I picked this up on a whim and it blew me away! Such a delightful, audacious, and sexy romp of a story!
What starts as mistaken identity leads to adventures in espionage and a fake relationship, as Lydia and Arthur try to track down his brother who has been posing as the Earl. As things heat up, the two are thrust out of their comfort zones and find comfort in each other. I loved both of their character arcs so much! And the audiobook was 🔥

Almost every time I read a new Heyer I decide it's up there as my favourite! This one isn't quite as funny as Sophy, but I think it shades it for romance - Sir Richard's declaration made me swoon.
