This was hauntingly beautiful, I just wanted the two to be happy. I mean, I didn't initially because both the heroine and the hero were prickly characters doing questionable things, but in the end they won me over completely.

The heroine is a courtesan who grew up with the hero and wronged him, he has found her 20 years later and is here for vengeance. I loved the drip of information to piece their past together. SP's writing is exquisite, and I felt the full force of their angst and the longing. 

The hero was able to hide his identity and experience the heroine as a stranger, which I enjoyed immensely and eagerly devoured. This was darker than SP's usual romance and I ate it up, set in the late 19th century US with spoopy ghosts and folklore witches who watch over mire and women.

Thanks to SL Prater for the review copy and this is my honest review. This Haunting Heart is out 27 January and will be available on KU.

I couldn't get into the characters and their second chance

This one was all over the shop for me, up and down and I had issues with the pacing. Having said that though, I loved it when the simping hero is all in and the political intrigues of the dark Fae world. The heroine gaining confidence and sussing things out were interesting. Oh and the hero has nice tight voluptuous globes.

Classic Flora Foxglove, dubcon, all the dubiousness, degradation, somno and breeding. But it's okay, the hero is working to reduce tuition debts so he's really a good guy.

Both mains were insufferable and a very slow pace, then the second half happened with booty hunting which made it a welcomed excitement. I'll still read the rest of the series but with low expectations.

I love the premise, the heroine is a writer who sought out scandalous liaisons for inspiration and she happened to stumble upon the hero and he became her muse. It's got a lot of classic moments that I love-siblings bonding, carriage fun times and "MY WIFE"

I didn't realise this was second gen, so that was a delight. I can't stop myself from finishing this book even though the miscommunication drove me nuts, there is something about Lynsay Sands's writing of the characters finding themselves in hilarious situations that I can't get enough of. The audiobook was excellent, most Scottish, you ken?

I'm lukewarm about this book, it's the first in the series so there were a lot of set ups for the subsequent books which is fine but I didn't feel much for the characters especially when they fight a lot over his withholding of his secrets. I will continue the series though but I don't particularly care for the overall plot lines.

Never not gonna enjoy a secretly bang while someone else is in the bed with you storyline.

Despite all the very dated references and 2000s fashion + Capri pants, I thoroughly enjoyed this. I didn't expect it because it felt so unassuming but there's a reason it's been recced by many people. 

The hero is as old as the solar system and very grumpy, the heroine taught him to say "please" augh they're so dreamy together. She stole from him but little did they know she also stole his heart (full cheese) this book made me giddy and I felt all the vibes.
