Julia Quinn’s Romancing Mr. Bridgerton is a spirited historical romance novel set in Regency England. Penelope Featherington has had a crush on Colin Bridgerton for years; however, being the “unpopular girl” makes it difficult to get any attention. Watching their relationship develop was a treat, as Quinn uses humor, witty dialogue, and a fast-moving plot [...]

Reality TV: Well, hi there. (deep sexy voice)
Romance Novel: Hello (bats eyelashes and fluffs hair)

I just happened across this post from Eve Silver about what she’s reading right now. Have a look! :)

I’ve just finished Vengeance in Death by JD Robb, and just loved it. The mystery, the thriller, the interaction between the characters. And the binding love between Roarke and Eve that still reigns during the ups and downs of their marriage. I think their relationship is one of the most true-to-life I’ve [...]
