When He Was Wicked (Bridgerton #6) by Julia Quinn

This story was so unexpected because I don’t remember seeing hardly any mention of Francesca in the other books. But what a delight it was! 

I feel like with the last two books, Quinn was really hitting her stride, really perfecting her craft and for me, it’s paid off. Francesca’s story is one with a lot of emotions which felt really modern which I loved.

And of course, there is Michael - where do I start with him? He’s got a charming side but even better than that, (for me anyway) he’s got a devilishly dirty mouth which I simply love.

I really enjoyed the beginning, then I struggled in the middle for a while, but from about 60% it got so good and I couldn’t put it down. There’s love, loss, grief, working out how to move on and navigating falling in love with your best friend. This story has themes that pull at your heartstrings and leave you with tears rolling down your cheeks while other moments will leave you laughing and then you’ll be feeling a little … overheated. Aren’t those the best books, after all?

One of my favourite parts is seeing how Violet loves all her children and supports them equally and how they need to be supported because they’re all so different. She understands them all and I truly think, she’s a wonderful mother. Can I be a Bridgerton, please?

Simply put, it’s a wonderful book. As with Colin’s and again with Eloise’s story, I know this is one I will pick up again and read but as it stands right now, I think this is my favourite Bridgeton book!

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...

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...

Dark Notes by Pam Godwin

It’s universally known that the more forbidden something is, the more desirable it becomes. This is my first—but certainly not my last— Pam Godwin book. And once again, I have my best friend to thank for getting me to finally read this story. It’s been on my TBR list for a long time, and for me, those books always seem to be the ones I end up loving the most. It’s almost like, my heart knows they’re THAT good and saves them for when I really need them. Anyway, THIS BOOK . It goes without saying that the sexual tension was off the charts from the second they met and it didn’t let up. Their connection was intense and wild and at no point did I feel that it wasn’t right. Ivory is an incredibly strong female lead—which I adored. Her fierceness was fantastic to read and her strength to keep going no matter how difficult it got made me want to yell in joy. I felt her turmoil and struggles so clearly and I felt like I understood them a little too. Emeric … wow . That man is a furnace. From ...
