Along Came a Lady All the Duke’s Sins, Book 1 by Christi Caldwell ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Working class Rafe Audley was absolutely perfect in Along Came a Lady, Christi Caldwell’s reverse Pygmalion tale! Miss Edwina Dalrymple strolls into Rafe’s coal mining operation all sunshine and brightness looking for the man she’s going to transform and bring home to his father in London… her lightness creates the ultimate contrast to Rafe’s dark and brooding personality.  These two are so similar in many ways, but butt heads the whole time as they war over Edwina’s mission to get him to London. As they battle and then work together, they come around to see that there is so much more to the other than meets the eye! This romance had everything I expect from a Christi Caldwell book- dark heroes, working class characters, gritty/ realistic historical settings and hot and passionate romance! Sometimes a Pygmalion story can run flat for me- I’m not a fan of makeovers changing peoples’ lives- but th...

All the Best Nights by Hanna Earnest ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 This steamy romance had me not putting it down until the final page! This book had everything I could won’t to make my late night reading very well worth it: steamy attraction and sexy times, secrets and relationship angst, and lastly a kick butt duo that can do it on their own, but know it’s so much better together.  I’m a sucker for hot rocker who is all in for his industry equal gf! If you are too- you need to get your hands on this book! I can’t recommend this debut rockstar romance enough! All the Best Nights by Hanna Earnest was released August 24th, 2021.

Grey agrees to stay and help Mercy and soon their fake engagement becomes all too real as the threats to boy of them heat up! This was a fun book! I found myself laughing multiple times at Grey’s curmudgeonly antics. Also, when the romance between our two lost souls kicks into gear, it gets pretty hot! These two were meant for each other- both alone I. The world and not feeling deserving of love and companionship. It was so sweet to see them find a sense of home and belonging together. I think my favourite part of the book was the creation of the c...
