The Gentleman’s Gambit
After not enjoying Portraits of a Scotsman too much (Hattie is the worst), I was leery going into the newest installment of The League of Extraordinary Women. Have no fear though because Catriona Campbell has saved us. We finally get to get inside Catriona Campbell’s head in The Gentleman’s Gambit. Catriona is spending the summer…
Portrait of a Scotsman
I adore this series. It’s educational, charming, spicy, and filled with independent women during a time when women were seen as property. I’ve loved all our couples (Lucie and Tristan, Annabell and Sebastian) and I have loved Hattie’s character since Bringing Down the Duke, so I was extra thrilled to finally get a love story…

The Mystery Guest
It’s no secret I wasn’t a huge fan of The Maid when I read it back in 2021. But when offered to read the second installment in the Molly the Maid series, I decided to give it a chance. I won’t say it blew my socks off, but I did seem to like it slightly…

Bookshops & Bonedust
I never even knew that cozy fantasy was a genre, but I am here for it! Bookshops & Bonedust is the prequel to Legends & Lattes. While I haven’t read Legends and Lattes yet, I’ve heard a ton of great reviews about it, and was so excited to dive into the series. This book was…
