BLACK CAKE by Charmaine Wilkerson
I chose to read BLACK CAKE by Charmaine Wilkerson for several reasons. First, I’m focusing my book choices on authors of color because I’ve taken the #23FOR23 challenge and I am loving it. It’s turning out to be one long forehead smack. Second, it popped up on Audible...
Island Queen by Vanessa RIley
I have enjoyed Vanessa Riley’s Regency romances for years—the Advertisements for Love series is my particular favorite—so I knew this book would be well-researched, richly detailed, and a thoroughly absorbing experience for readers. But because this was a story about...
Then, Now, Always by Mona Schroff
I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve finished a book and said, “This needs to be a movie.” Well, THEN, NOW, ALWAYS needs to be a movie. And not a Hallmark movie, although Hallmark would certainly do well with this story, but a big ol’ Hollywood blockbuster...

West End Earl by Bethany Bennett
I apologize. I got lost in holiday madness and it's taken a while for me to catch up, but here's my next review of another scandalous historical. People see what you want them to see. This is my favorite line from Bethany Bennett’s West End Earl. A heroine in trousers...
Smashing Debut by Marry Kate Pembrooke
Not the Kind of Earl you Marry. What a smashing debut novel! After reading hundreds of Regencies, I was delighted to discover this one with such a wonderful and unique set-up. The very eligible and handsome Earl of Norwood has successfully dodged every kind of trap...
