Book review: “Lady Chatterley’s Lover”

This controversial novel wowed me and enthralled me at the same time. Having been banned from the moment it was published due to its perceived obscenity and direct portrayal of sexual intimacy, “Lady Chatterley’s Lover”, to me, is still a thought-provoking and sensual novel that explores far beyond sex and into the psyche of its

Book review: “Just One Kiss”

I had high hopes coming to this book, but sadly, it never turned out to be as good as I expected. The first few chapters seemed promising. The warm feeling of Fool’s Gold town- the setting of the story – wrapped around me like a blanket on a cold autumn day. But then, everything started

Book review: “Diamond Bay”

Rachel Jones – an ex-investigative journalist living on Diamond Bay, her childhood home – ran into the wounded Kell Sabin and took him in to take care of him. This chance encounter put

Book review: “Claimed by Cupid”

This is the continuation of the smutty and scorching hot love story between Nick and Holly in “Dipped in Holly”, and I must say it is equally satisfying to read. The story started with Nick and Holly celebrating New Year’s Eve together at Nick’s bar, then moving on to the main events of the novella,

Book review: “Dipped in Holly”

Holy moly! What a sexy, steamy, smutty, and overwhelmingly sensual novella! After reading the first chapter, I realized I should have read this story during Christmas, which would make my reading experience ten times better. But anyway, “Dipped in Holly” is still a sexually engaging read that made my heart beat fast and sent me

Book review: “Duke I’d Like to F…”

Ah, Dukes! Who doesn’t love them? Certainly not me. And as a die-hard historical romance reader and lover, especially historical romance with heat and sex, I couldn’t miss out on reading this anthology after coming upon it on Goodreads. The title of the book says it all: “Duke I’d Like to F…” is a collection

Book review: “An Education in Pleasure”

Miss Cecilia Holmes was a governess at the Duke of Tarrington’s household. As a governess, she had resigned herself to a passionless life after spending her more youthful time learning about carnal pleasures. Some years ago, she met Owen – the heir of the dukedom – when he was just a teenager visiting home during

Book review: “Duke for Hire”

Miss Ada Blair was a dutiful daughter of a stern and imposing vicar. She spent nearly 30 years living modestly under her father’s roof, taking care of the household as a free servant without having her own dreams and wishes regarded and respected by her father. As she was reaching her 30th year, Ada decided

Book review: “My Dirty Duke”

Maximilian Thomas William Bradley III – Duke of Ravensthorpe – was a powerful man. He also happened to be a close friend of Violet’s father. But the 18-year-old Violet had been secretly in love with Max since forever, and was determined to pursue the 41-year-old Max despite the fact that he was more than twice

Book review: “The Duke and I”

This one is a classic in the historical romance genre, isn’t it? “The Duke and I” was the first book by Julia Quinn and also the first historical romance novel that I read. It will always hold a special place in my heart, because it is the book that introduced me to what has now
