I'm pretty sure this was my first ever Jess Michaels book but it definitely won't be my last. Their Marchioness is the first book in the Theirs series by Michaels and I look forward to more in this series.

This installment has our main characters, Elliot and Merritt, hitting their ten year anniversary and while they have had a great marriage, Elliot knows his wife was torn from her first love, Peter. For Merritt's birthday, he wants to do something special for her and that something special includes bringing Peter with them on a getaway.

I thought it was interesting the way Michaels set the story up. Neither Elliot or Merritt are unhappy in their marriage. They love each other and are highly respected in the Ton but because of the way they came together, Elliot knows there are some unresolved feelings between Merritt and Peter. Add to that the feelings he has when Peter is around (I didn't mention it but Elliott and Peter do know each other pretty well) and this becomes an opportunity Elliott doesn't want to pass up.

If you're looking for a historical romance with a bit of steam, I recommend picking this one up.

Fell in Love with an Earl is book three in the Games Earls Play series by Anna Bradley and if you haven't picked this series up, I recommend you do. I do think this one could be easily read as a standalone if you haven't had the opportunity to read books one and two yet. There is some connection to the other characters in those books but nothing that would mean you've missed something critical if you are starting here. With that said, I would recommend the full series.

This book introduces us to Helena Templeton and Adrian Chatham. Helena has taken on the role of governess to Adrian's twin boys and just as she is starting to make some progress, Adrian shows up unexpectedly from London and creates some challenges. While things don't necessarily start out well for Helena (in Adrian's eyes) he quickly realizes that Helena is the glue holding a lot of things together and their relationship starts to shift.

I enjoyed this story and definitely look forward to more from Bradley. I recommend picking this one up if you are looking for a new historical romance.

I have been a fan of Alexandra Christo's books since her first one and I have to say, Princess of Souls had all the things I have enjoyed about her past books all in one.

If you like a book with a lot of adventure, danger, and the enemies to lovers trope, consider picking this one up. Selestra and Nox are fantastic characters and Christo does a wonderful job of developing their stories...both separate and together.

The world building was done well and the story itself was well-written. I can't wait to read whatever Christo writes next!

I love this series by Anna Bradley and I'm so happy we finally get to have Daniel's story. If you haven't read any of these books, I recommend picking up at the beginning. Could you read this one without having read the others? Yes but you'll miss the references for all the other characters that have come before this book so I don't recommend.

If you're looking for a historical romance that will keep you turning the pages, definitely pick this one up (the series) as Bradley creates some great characters and writes wonderfully.

I saw this cover and read the summary and knew I was going to need this one. House of Hunger is the first book I've read by Alexis Henderson and I hope it won't be the last.

The MC is a girl who hasn't had an easy life. Marion has been living in the slums with her abusive brother when she finds an opportunity in the paper that could give her a very different life. When she applies to the position to be a bloodmaid for a very well-known lady, she finds herself in the midst of a challenging game of survival.

This story was definitely unique and I thought Henderson did a fantastic job of developing the world these characters live in. If you're looking for something in the horror genre, definitely check this one out.

The Scoundrel Falls Hard by Sophie Jordan was an interesting story. This is the third book in the series and while it can probably be read as a standalone, I thought having read the other books gave me a bit more context with the characters.

I enjoyed the story and loved how the characters met and became involved in each other's lives. Gwen is a strong, independent woman but it's clear she's feeling like something is missing now that her father and uncle are gone. When Kellan crashes into her life, things get interesting for her.

Kellan has been living the life of a swindler with his father. When they are caught and his father takes off without any thought of Kellan, he thinks this is it for him but when Gwen saves him from the town, he decides to change his ways and does his best to prove himself to Gwen.

I loved how their relationship built throughout the book and they became partners. There's a bit of angst and misunderstanding but in the end, this one wrapped up as I had hoped.
