This was recommended to me by a friend and it is so right up my alley. How is this my first Rebekah Weatherspoon? Hot contemorary romance with some light bdsm. The writing is fresh, honest, funny and hot! 🔥🔥🔥

Loved this story! Sebastian and Georgina are just too pure, too good. Lovely regency romance with the most satisfyingly sweet ending.

Now reading!

Lord Sebastian Gresham is the epitome of military might and excellence. There's just one problem: he can't read. It's a secret he'll never tell, certainly not to his new bride-to-be.

I am so hyped for this trope!

So the first chapter was a little problematic (a few red flags when it came to Griffin's response to Cat's secret) but once the story picked up the pace, especially around the Agon Games, it was really enjoyable. I wouldn't put it in the same league as CL Wilson or CS Pacat, but it was fun.

Groomed in English luxury, Margot Armstrong didn't belong in a Scottish chieftain's world. She fled her marriage of convenience to Arran McKenzie and hasn't looked back. But she's forced to return to her husband in order to interrupt his secret plans to invade her country.

Margot is a beautiful threat. But there are whispers of her people's plot to seize McKenzie territory, so he must outmaneuver her in games of espionage...and seduction.

A lush and vivid story that is steeped in Indian folklore and mythology. #yaromance

Really fun, sweet story of opposites attract, but also deals with some serious issues (Huntington's and coming out). The perfect length, I enjoyed reading Ripley and Pierce's story and was left wanting more. I hope they pop up in another Shona Husk story. #romance #m/m

A diva who lives for the spotlight, a sailor deeply in the closet, a love that will change them both...

Yass, m/m ballet dancer and sailor romance!

The first half of the novel was very frustrating to read, but the second half was much stronger. More romantic elements than historical romance, but the mystery was well constructed.

A Study In Scarlet Women | Sherry Thomas

This just downloaded to my Kindle!

Charlotte Holmes has never felt comfortable with the demureness expected of the fairer sex in upper class society. But even she never thought that she would become a social pariah, an outcast fending for herself on the mean streets of London.

But in the end, it will be up to Charlotte, under the assumed name Sherlock Holmes, to challenge society‘s expectations and match wits against an unseen mastermind.

His green eyes consumed her. "I see you Sophie."

'What would you call me?'
Time seemed to slow in the carriage, a path of red-gold sunlight casting his face into brightness and shadow, and suddenly, Sophie desperately wanted to hear his answer.
