To Sir Philip, With Love (Bridgerton #5) by Julia Quinn

To date, this is my favourite Bridgerton book!


I loved the story, I really loved the journey the characters, in particular Philip, go on. I loved how we learn more about him and why he, at first, appears gruff and moody.

I thought there was a lot of depth to the characters which I loved and hope this continues as for me, I felt you could see how the writing was improving. I found myself laughing out loud with this one and not being able to read at times from tears - just wonderful.

For me, it was the most ‘contemporary’ feeling of all the novels thus far and I enjoyed that immensely. For Quinn, the sex was a little more descriptive and it appears Eloise is the first female lead who doesn’t just lay there and want to be taken slowly - I wholeheartedly approve of this, Eloise!

I love the regency setting but some of the themes and story lines haven’t grabbed me as much as this one did which is absolutely fine, as everyone wants something different from the books they read after all.

I’m not really an Eloise fan in the show, but this book has changed my mind and she’s now a favourite within the book series at least. I hope they manage to create this book in the show but I worry they won’t with the direction they have taken it.

One I’m sure I will read again.

Driven (book one) by K. Bromberg

  You know when you discover something so fantastic you wish you'd known about it your whole life? This is one of those books. I discovered K.Bromberg early into her writing career and haven’t looked back since.   At first when I started reading I thought I knew what kind of book this was going to be. You meet Rylee and you learn pretty quickly she’s a force to be reckoned with. She’s fierce brave and strong and I love that. You get introduced to Colton very early and he appears to be like so many other alpha males in romance books. Oh, how wrong I was. As the story unfolds, you realise that for all his bluster and dirty talk, Colton is a damaged and deeply feeling guy who doesn’t know how to let anyone in. Their chemistry is insane and the push-pull of their relationship will have you longing for more. It’s a deeply emotional story and one that I have read a number of times and fall more in love with each time I read it. It is without a doubt one of the best trilogies out th...

Tears of Tess (Monsters in the Dark #1) by Pepper Winters

“You may not be mine but I'm fast becoming yours” I’ve been on a Pepper Winters dark reads reread lately and I am absolutely loving it. Tears of Tess was the first book of Pepper Winters I ever read. I first heard all about Q from my best friend who happens to share my love of reading. We were having a girls book weekend away and she told me about the book she was reading and how the male lead character was, even for her, crossing lines. I cannot stress enough how much this shocked me, because my best friend does not shock easily—she doesn’t need a trigger warning and I’ve not known her to even wince at the contents of a book before. She has impeccable taste and I’ve got many, many recommendations from here and loved every single one of them so I trust her judgement. Naturally I had to read this book. Before I read Tears of Tess that first time, I hadn’t read true, soul battering dark romance before. Sure there had been some dark elements to previous stories, but it wasn’t dark....

Gabriel's Inferno (Gabriel's Inferno #1) by Sylvain Reynard

“If I have a soul, it's yours.” This is another re-read for me and one that I have absolutely loved. My love for The Professor started way back in 2013 when I read Gabriel’s Inferno for the first time, I’ve reread him many times since then, but as has happened with a lot of my rereads recently, I’ve rediscovered just how much I love them and have found I appreciate them on a much deeper level—perhaps it’s age? Perhaps it’s therapy? I don’t know but I adore it. It’s like discovering them for the first time again in a lot of ways and truly feels like a gift. There are so many reasons I love this series and it’s going to be really difficult to sufficiently put into words just how much this book means to me. You see, when a series has been with you through a really difficult time, for me anyway, it attaches itself to your soul. It becomes a part of you and this series is most definitely a part of me. Gabriel has, since the first time I met him, been one of my top five (possibly top t...
