About a Rogue is a fun Georgian Era romance that is unique for focusing on the upper-middle-class and having a hero I liked more than the heroine.

Review: Nik James – High Country Justice
Nikoo and Jim are masters at crafting unique, vibrant characters. Branching out into the Western genre doesn’t change that. Elkhorn, Colorado, is a growing town teeming with life and enough trouble to keep Caleb Marlowe on his toes.
Continue reading...Review: Stephanie Laurens – Four In Hand
Four In Hand is one of the weaker Stephanie Laurens’ novels that I’ve read. Four romances, plus the chaos that the Twinning sisters create, leaves the character development lacking.

Rembrandt rocked his world when he traveled back in time in Cast the First Stone. There’s just as much action as in the first book, and it’s interesting to see how other people’s personalities change because of Rem’s actions. I just hope he loses some of his arrogance in future books.

Cry Wolf picks up right where the novella Alpha & Omega left off. I recommend reading that one first, or you might feel a little lost at the beginning. Anna and Charles are new to the mates’ thing, but I can tell that I will enjoy their escapades.

The Headmistress of Rosemere is the second book in the Whispers on the Moors series, but it works as a stand-alone novel. I enjoyed Patience and William’s bittersweet tale of loss, change, and hope for the future.

If you can get past the first third, this becomes a decent book with an interesting world and intriguing plot twists. It’s just getting to that point that was troublesome for me.

I picked up this anthology for Alpha & Omega, hoping to find some new Urban Fantasy authors along the way. Unfortunately, the other three novellas were mediocre, overdone to the point of ludicrousness, and outright erotica.

The Last Wish is a uniquely compiled book that consists of short stories with over-arching interludes that connect them together. If you’ve watched the Netflix series, you will be familiar with several of these stories. It’s well worth coming along for the ride with Geralt, Dandelion (Jaskier), and Yennefer.

I will freely admit to picking up this book solely due to the beautiful cover. I can see why some people adore this book, but I never fell in love with the characters or their stories. There was enough plot resolution at the end of this book that I am ambivalent about what happens in the rest of the trilogy.
