Better Off Wed

Better Off Wed


Love and Let Spy, Book 1

by Susanna Craig

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


Spymaster General Scott is at it again! Mixing business with pleasure and matchmaking with his spies!


Captain Jeremy Addison, Viscount Sterling is used to his behind the scenes work codebreaking for the crown, until he is assigned d a special case… finding the mysterious Lady Sterling who has been stealing from the aristocracy. General Scott casually suggests that he may want to marry the enigmatic lady when he finds her since they already share a title!


Lady Sterling, aka spinster Miss Laura Hopkins is not your common thief- more like a Robin Hood! She steals from the rich, who abuse their powers and gives back to the victims to start over. She is about the embark on one of her most difficult nob to nab, when an accident lands her in the arms of the Viscount Sterling! Lady Stirling works alone, but it seems her fake husband is also after the same man- a most convenient coincidence!


As these two start to work together under the guise of marriage they both get closer to the their working goal, find themselves in danger and manage to fall for each other!


This was a fun Robin Hood retelling and I loved Lady Sterling’s conviction for her cause. Captain Addison was a darling as he played along with Miss Hopkins and they both discovered more about their true wants and that perhaps two is better than one in the end!


This was a great historical romance with an intriguing plot. I feel like spying definitely took more of a backseat to the romance in this book, compared to the other- but I was too into the romance to care! Bonus: the teaser in the epilogue hints at a series favourite being the next spy to fall in love! I can’t wait!

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...
