Something is wrong with this file. It ended at chapter 7 and there’s no way that was the end. I don’t see an updated file available and I have automatic updates turned on. I’m going to email the author and find out what’s going on. I usually love love love her stuff so something is up!

Man I was really looking forward to this one. And I still like it…but…there are a TON of typos. This is not Carlyle’s usual standard which bums me out of what’s going on with her. I hope all is okay as I love her work and this series!

I’m drowning in books guys. I finally went through and added every book sitting on my nightstand that I’m steadily consuming and it’s kind of funny. My husband got me into nonfiction and now I’m reading ALL THE THINGS. Plus no spice fantasy (a lovely find!) and my old standby historical romance. Send help :)

Did okay with Dragon Fairest (romance lacked but world building and side characters were fun) but could not get into Once Upon a Dragon. So I’m going to take a break and try the third in a bit.

I’ve read the first two and they are so sweet and lovely, just like the BonBons Jennifer Ashley’s title promised!

As soon as my buddy reader is ready, I am diving into this! Can’t wait!

As soon as this thing downloads on my kindle in a couple days, I AM ALL OVER IT.

This has literally just been a huge listing of all worthington family members in London for the season and the boring routine of the hero who doesn’t seem to have any opinions. Maybe that’s the set up? But it’s weird…

Wasn’t sure at first but I have enough details of what’s going on that I’m into it! I also like the characters too.

The awareness of these two to each other despite their prickly personalities? I just love it.

I’m getting a little frustrated with this. It’s been a long litany of how tortured Cass’ past is and how he doesn’t deserve Hattie with very limited page time over their past (they wrote letters for 12 years but you don’t see them and you don’t read anything about their childhood together except the first day) or how exactly he’s tortured. It just lacks the emotion Bradley usually has in her stories.

Ah this is really good and though provoking. I’m enjoying how each chapter builds on the previous ones.

Buddy read with my friend Lacey!! Really excited for this one.

Gosh this is such fun. I don’t want it to end!

Re reading this again for a buddy read with Lacey! Still enjoying this the second time around. I hope Carlyle has plans to finish the series. I tried to pre order the fourth book and it was cancelled on Amazon!

Thus far this has been really really funny. I hope it continues because this beginning has truly been sparkling.

I’m so behind on reviews, it’s a disgrace! Will try to start catching up soon.

There’s been an adjustment for me with the omniscient narrator style writing and tidbits from many different characters but it does serve the purpose of letting the reader get a sneak peek at all the intrigue that is ramping up in the novel before the characters which is different for me. Some of the prose is a little purple but I’m still liking it. This authors new to me but she has tons of book.

First buddy read in over 5 years with Midniteillusion! Here’s hoping this is a good one! Thus far, lots of pining. These two had a rough start.

Trying this book again even though I DNF it years ago. I liked the hero a lot this go around and want to give his story a fair shake as he seems to be the only mature dude of the quartet!

What a pickle these two have gotten themselves into. LOL.

I bought this book for Lent as a way to work on praising God even in my every day routines and enhancing prayer. This book has been so wonderful already. I eagerly anticipate going back to it, savoring the art, and reflecting on familiar verses with a new focus on the greatness of God.

This book is silly and the instalove is there but the characters are so fun I’m into it. Definitely some escapism here.

Okay, I admit, the main romance in this one is a bit underbaked. But I like so much the atmosphere in the story. I like reading about the families around these characters and seeing their perspectives. It’s fun. Especially bc I’ve read their books already! I know that style isn’t for everyone though.

While I know and love this book, I do believe that Jonathan’s comments to Cecily early on would leave me creeped out instead of intrigued.

I find myself bingeing on all of my Emma Wildes books so I’m starting at the beginning to see now if I enjoy this one more knowing her style going in. Thus far, the answer is yes. She is such a comfort read for me and I need that right now!!

Really really enjoying this one!

I love when Delacroix has a new book coming out :)

Lachlan is acting like age 16 instead of 26. It’s part annoying but also pretty darn entertaining. I feel that Enoch is having fun making the point that the joke’s on him…her writing really is so so good.

This is not for me. Didn’t like either character or the hopping around for palace intrigue. Didn’t understand the “attraction”. They were so snooty to each other it wasn’t banter, it was unpleasantness.
