A Duke to Die For

A Duke to Die For


The Rogues’ Dynasty, Book 1

by Amelia Grey


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


A fun, light, no-stress historical romance! This is just what I have been in the mood for lately.

When Miss Henrietta Tween lands at the door of her new guardian, the Duke of Blackwell’s London home she is weary… Since the age of 7 she’s been through 5 guardians after tragically loosing her parents. She is cursed to loose anyone who cares for her. Lonely and concerned fro his safety, Henrietta is surprised to see the young Duke and becomes even more concerned when her feelings get attached to him. She must do something to keep him safe from her curse.

Lucian Blakewell was living the life of Riley until the young and beautiful Miss Tweed shows up. He will put everything at his disposal to find her a husband and have his peace restored… until he discovered that exactly not what he wants! Can he convince her to let the curse be damned and take a chance on loving him?

I loved the easy pacing and linear narrative. Blake and Henrietta complimented each other so well, and it was fun to see them fall for each other and fight the repercussions of that love. Sometimes a romance will have very high highs and low lows, which can add great drama and suspense. I appreciated this book for the easy going story and lighter drama. This book didn’t make me go through a wave of emotions, but kept me happy and enjoying it throughout. 

If you are looking for high drama, this is not for you, but if you are looking for a fun romance with great side characters and an electric opposites attract pairing - this book is you you. A perfect easy read summer romance.



A Duke to Die For by Amelia Grey is being re-release with a gorgeous new cover August 25th, 2020.

The Art of Taxidermy

by    Sharon Kernot I didn’t know what I was getting when I picked out this book. When I first opened this book and started to read, I was pleasantly surprised. The author, has written this novel in verse and the flow of the writing really goes with and helps tell the story. The Art of Taxidermy tells a gripping and emotional story about love of family and great loss. The themes are woven through the coming of age of young Lottie, along with her immigrant family in Australia after the second world war. I was taken in by this book from the first page and was made to feel deeply for Lottie and this family. Sharon Kernot has written a beautiful book and I can not highly recommend it enough. This is a must read. The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot is due to release August 23rd, 2019. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Text Publishing Company through NetGalley.

A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me!  ...

Here to Stay

Here to Stay by Adriana Herrara ⭐⭐⭐ /5 Adrianna Herraara has a remarkable way of capturing the personality and spirit of her New Yorker characters… even when they aren’t in their native New York! The friendships created and the corresponding camaraderie are what stood out to me the most in this book. It was fun to watch these ex-pat New Yorkers come together in their new home and bond. As for the romance, I found it a bit forced. Julia is on a dating sabbatical and not looking for a man… Rocco is only in Dallas working fro the men trying to cut funding and close Julia’s charitable foundation that she works for. These two should be enemies, but they are friends… the tension between them is pretty high, but they both know they are on opposite sides… I found it unsatisfying… size they were workplace enemies, their friendship muddied the waters. I found it hard to get behind their romance. On another side, I really enjoyed the representation of the charitabl...
