Enne Salta was raised as a proper young lady, and no lady would willingly visit New Reynes, the so-called City of Sin.

Release date: January 31, 2017 Author info: Website | Twitter | Facebook Publisher: Avon Books Pages: pages Buy the book: Avon | Barnes & Noble | Amazon | The Book Depository As manager of one of the finest hotels in Arizona Territory, Portia Carmichael has respect and stability-qualities sorely missing from her harsh childhood. She refuses to jeopardize that by hitching herself to the wrong man. Suitors are plentiful, but none of them has ever looked quite as tempting as the family friend who just rode into town…and none have looked at her with such intensity and heat. Duchess.

December Recap

Hi! So I'm trying something new this month. For a long time I've posted Stacking the Shelves weekly, but I've found that those posts don't necessarily work for me any more. Part of my hopes for 2017 is that I'm going to get fewer books to keep--whether that be books I've bought or been given for review. I have so many books to read already, so I'm hoping to whittle down those piles, as well as actually keep up with the review books I do get. And so, because I won't normally have new books to show off, I figure STS wasn't the way to go. I'm also finding it more of a chore to put together, so I'm hoping a once monthly recap will better suit me now! I'll be covering what books I got, what I posted, what books I read, my tentative TBR for the coming month, and anything else I might like to share. What Books Did I Get? For review: Caraval by Stephanie Garber This works out so well, because I was mourning not having an ARC and I'm going to...

My Favorite YA Reads of 2016

The year is up! Can y'all believe it? 2017 is here! And while I wanted to get this up earlier, the last week of the year was kinda crazy, so I didn't get around to it. But, I can start this year off right! This list is YA exclusively, so there are certainly some historical romances I might've added, but I wanted to focus. So, in no particular order, here are my favorite YA books I read in 2016: A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater Like a River Glorious by Rae Carson Rebel Magisters by Shanna Swendson Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski The Dark Days Club by Alison Goodman I also wanted to include  Tell Me Three Things   by Julie Buxbaum, but I couldn't find my copy to include in the picture! I'm not in the least surprised that 80% of my list is essentially fantasy. Certainly if I broke down my r...

Waiting on Wednesday: Do You Want to Start a Scandal? by Tessa Dare {118}

Title: Do You Want to Start a Scandal? Author: Tessa Dare Release date: September 27, 2016 On the night of the Parkhurst ball, someone had a scandalous tryst in the library. •Was it Lord Canby, with the maid, on the divan? •Or Miss Fairchild, with a rake, against the wall? •Perhaps the butler did it. All Charlotte Highwood knows is this: it wasn’t her. But rumors to the contrary are buzzing. Unless she can discover the lovers’ true identity, she’ll be forced to marry Piers Brandon, Lord Granville—the coldest, most arrogantly handsome gentleman she’s ever had the misfortune to embrace. When it comes to emotion, the man hasn’t got a clue. But as they set about finding the mystery lovers, Piers reveals a few secrets of his own. The oh-so-proper marquess can pick locks, land punches, tease with sly wit … and melt a woman’s knees with a single kiss. The only thing he guards more fiercely than Charlotte’s safety is the truth about his dark past. Their passion is intense. The danger is real. ...
