📚e-ARC Bookish Review📚
.
In “Favors from a Gentleman”, Sophie St. Quinton’s life changes forever after her brother’s death. Haunted by secrets from her past, she finds herself blackmailing a mysterious stranger in hopes of finding closure.
.
💭 My thoughts:

Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy this historical fiction novel as much as I had hoped. The story never fully managed to capture my attention. I may have compared it a little too much to Bridgerton, but despite that, it was still a lovely read. I especially enjoyed Rafe and Sophie’s dynamic, and I thought the writing style and pacing were both very solid.

Hi Booksta 🥰
.
I’ve started to enjoy cozy mysteries these past few years and I must say that “The Thursday Murder Club” by Richard Osman has become my favorite one so far. It was really entertaining to see these elderly people solving a murder case with real professionals whilst being a tad bit more intelligent than the detectives. I couldn’t even say who my favorite character was because the members of the club were all very loveable 🥰
.
Osman managed to make me feel at home with his book and I can’t wait to start the next book in this series! Now I just need to decide whether I’m continuing it in German or in English.

Today I’m back with a bookish review as you can see above 🥰 I had lots of fun reading this book and really enjoyed my time.
.
💭 Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
A Taste of Limoncello was such an addictive read. It’s told in dual POV and tells us how Ava and Dax really feel, especially about each other 😜

This story strikes a nice balance between sweet and spicy and you can really feel the tension between our two MCs. As the story was partially set in Italy, the author also managed to make the whole reading experience feel like an escape from reality.

If you’re looking for something that’s sweet and spicy at the same time I can only recommend reading « A taste of Limoncello » 🍋
.

📚 What to expect:
🍷Workplace Romance
🍋One Bed
🍷Friends to Lovers
🍋Slow Burn with high heat
🍷Italian Travel Romance
.

📚e-arc Review📚

Happy Release day to “The Fae Guardian” by @ellethrasherauthor 🥳 When you swipe to the right you will see two graphics that were premade by @behindthepagespa
.
I recently finished this wonderfully written romantasy, and I just couldn’t put my Kobo down while reading this story. We follow Princess Freija, the heir to the throne. For years, she was trained to be perfect, but then a threat to her life emerges, and everything changes. She is assigned a guard, and soon her image of herself starts to crack. Freija simply cannot resist her guard, but loving him is forbidden. Soon, she has to choose between an arranged marriage and her own wellbeing…
.
💭 The setting was absolutely beautiful, as was the writing style. While reading The Fae Guardian, I felt like I was a character in the book, and I could vividly visualise the scenes. The witty banter between Freija and Halvar was entertaining as hell, and I just couldn’t stop smirking 🤭
.
This book also has some plot twists that leave you on the edge of your seat, including one major twist that I saw coming but still enjoyed anyway. The pacing was perfectly done, and I flew through the book.
.
The only thing that makes me sad is that it’s a standalone 😭 But apparently, there are other fae books by Elle Thrasher out in the world, so I’ll get over it 😂

📚E-Arc Review . 📖 Key Change - Hotel Belleweather

📚E-Arc Review
.
📖 Key Change - Hotel Belleweather #2 by @caradion.author
.
💭 Review:
Key Change is the second instalment in the Hotel Bellweather Series. However you don’t have to read them in the published order. I haven’t read the first book in this series and had no trouble following the storyline! The chemistry between our love interest is instantly matching and soon Jo finds herself to become the nanny of her new Beau’s child. But nothing is as easy as it seems and new rules have to be applied.
.
I really liked the writing. It felt fluid and was very easy to follow. Both characters are adorable in their own way. The book is really steamy 🤭 and very fun. I can only recommend it. The beginning is a bit slow but afterwards you’re in for a ride 🥰
.
🌟 4/5 stars
.
‼️Disclaimer: I received an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review
.
Key Change is now available!

What to expect:
🌊single dad / nanny
💛vacation romance
🌊age gap
💛grumpy / sunshine
🌊spicy novella
💛edging
🌊soft Dom / brat

Hi #Booksta 🥰 How is everyone?

The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden is the second book that I’ve read by this author and again I wasn’t disappointed. You could even say that these plot twists made me mad. 😭 Every time that I thought that I’ve figured out who the bad guy was, the author managed to prove me wrong 😅. So this book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat! I’m still not okay by how it ended 😂.

Good evening Bookstagram 🥰
.
I’ve just finished « City of Lost Souls » by Cassandra Clare and I have mixed feelings about this one. For those of you who are following me on Goodreads you already know the rating that I gave this one: 3.5 🌟
.
This installment for sure took the story to an even more darker place and setting than the last book. We are capable of seeing the struggle when it comes to love and loyalty and also the consequences about pas choices. Yep, I’m eyeing Clary in regards of Jace. IYKYK. 😅
.
The pacing and writing however felt a bit odd for me though. I felt that this book dragged on and on and that it took so long before the real action kicked in. However the author still managed to catch me with the atmosphere and especially the banter!
.
In short this hasn’t been my favourite in the series but I still loved continuing my way through the series.

Hi Bookstagram! 🥰
.
I’ve recently finished “Scarlet” by Genevieve Cogman and just had to share this book with you.
.
📝Synopsis: Revolutionary France is no place to be, especially for aristocrat vampires facing the guillotine. But the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel are determined to rescue them. And they have an ace up their sleeve: Eleanor, a lowly maid from an English estate with a striking resemblance to French royalty.

For Eleanor, the League and their legendary deeds are little more than rumour – until she’s drawn into their most dangerous plot yet. The mission? Travel to France in disguise, impersonate Queen Marie Antoinette and rescue the royal family. If they succeed, it’ll be the heist of the century.

But there’s more to fear than ardent Revolutionaries. For Eleanor stumbles across a centuries-old war between vampires and their fiercest enemy. And they’re out for blood . . .
