Bless Sarah MacLean for giving us a short, round, dark-haired, brilliant, weird heroine who fears she’s too much and a man who can never get enough of her.

Finished reading: Heartbreaker by Sarah MacLean 📚

Whoo. This is a hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥 on the romance.io scale. Romance is unmatched and so is Sarah MacLean.

Finished reading: Bombshell by Sarah MacLean 📚

Sarah MacLean is just so good. This is like… A 3.5 on the romance.io scale? The language is slightly (but only slightly) euphemistic; it’s pretty clear exactly what’s happening where.

Finished reading: Love, Come to Me by Lisa Kleypas 📚

This has a steam rating of 🔥🔥🔥.

A very early Kleypas. Be warned: the hero is a Confederate veteran. Apparently, he opposed slavery but fought for the Confederacy anyway.

Finished reading: Gentle Rogue by Johanna Lindsey 📚

Finished reading: The Knowledge Gap by Natalie Wexler 📚

Read this to prepare for collaborating with teachers at work who want support finding books to work into our literacy curriculum. It’s especially interesting as someone who started her teaching career in the era of No Child Left Behind.

Finished reading: Tender Rebel by Johanna Lindsey 📚

Finished reading: Love Only Once by Johanna Lindsey 📚

Finished reading: Daring and the Duke by Sarah MacLean 📚

If you want to see Sarah MacLean do a magic trick and turn the villain of two books into the hero of the third, read the Bareknuckle Bastards series.

Finished reading: Brazen and the Beast by Sarah MacLean 📚

Sarah MacLean is just the best.

Finished reading: Wicked and the Wallflower by Sarah MacLean 📚

Finished reading: The Rogue Not Taken by Sarah MacLean 📚

This one made me smile at the end.

I do love a sailor heroine.

Finished reading: If You Desire by Kresley Cole 📚

Somehow forgot to post this when I finished it. It was my favorite of the MacCarrick Brothers trilogy.
